22V stereo Class-D audio amplifier quiescent at 6mW

MAX98415A class-D amplifier block diagram

Analog Devices has created a pair of 22V stereo Class-D audio amplifier that idle at 6mA and shut-down to microamps. MAX98415A and MAX98425A are similar, and both including envelope tracking control that saves power by instructing an external dc-dc converter to provide the amplifiers main power input with just enough voltage for clean output signals. The difference between the two ...

110V 1A power op-amp has digital control

ADI ADHV4710 power op-amp block

Analog Devices has created a fast power op-amp that can handle ±55V rails and ±1A outputs, with a digital control bus for setting internal parameters. Called ADHV4710, the output can swing ±52V with ±100mA loading, and its rails can vary down to ±12V. Despite being able to drive ±1300V/μs into 1nF, it is a voltage feedback amplifier, that can handle ...

Cambridge GaN Devices’ unusual 650V GaN transistors explained in video

Cambridge Gan Devices block

Cambridge GaN Devices (CGN) has published a video explaining what is different about its novel 650V GaN transistors, which are actually GaN ICs that include circuits as well as the main power switch. The devices do not include a gate driver, but they do include a gate drive modifier circuit which allows any gate driver intended to drive a silicon ...

AI looks for sleepy drivers

ADI Seeing Machines driver monitoring

Artificial intelligence computer vision company Seeing Machines has teamed up with Analog Devices to create an in-vehicle driver fatigue and driver distraction monitoring system. They are aiming at in-cabin DMS and OMS (driver and operator monitoring systems), used in semi-automated vehicle driving systems to improve the chances that the driver is participating appropriately. Seeing Machines is supplying human-monitoring software that ...
