Analogue / Linear / Mixed Signal ICs

In a comprehensive smart electrochemical sensor interface IC, Analog Devices  has combined potentiostat and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a single chip, claiming this to be a first. ADuCM355, as it is known, is aimed at applications such as industrial gas sensing, instrumentation, vital signs monitoring and disease management. Effectively the chip is an Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller with specialised high-performance ...

CML Microcircuits has expanded its Marine Communications product line with  its DE70322T AIS Class B Demonstrator, including a reference design package. The DE70322T package is an enabler for manufacturers to develop a new state-of-the-art, small form factor AIS Class B transceiver with market-leading performance, achieve an easy route to certification and reach the target market fast. The reference design package ...

Silicon Labs is aiming at 56Gbit/s PAM-4 serdes and 112Gbit/s serial applications with a set of clock generators, jitter attenuating clocks and voltage-controlled crystal oscillators. Si5391 is an ‘any-frequency’ clock generator with up to 12 outputs and sub-100fs RMS phase jitter. A precision calibrated version (‘P-grade’) typically achieves 69fs RMS phase jitter and can create the primary frequencies needed in 56Gbit/s ...

The LTC2879X is an extreme temperature, 175°C, ±60V fault tolerant RS485/RS422 transceiver that is engineered to operate in demanding temperature ranges and is 100% tested to specifications at 175°C. Features such as enhanced overvoltage fault protection and extreme electrical overstress protection ensure reliable data communications against the most common threats in electrically noisy environments. The LTC2879X’s 3mm x 3mm footprint ...

TI has revealed early fruits from the latest in its long-running series of BiCom advanced bipolar processes: the 27V 200MHz low-noise OPA2810 and the 36V zero-drift 14MHz OPA189, which are aimed at signal conditioning in automotive and industrial environments. “These are the first few of many other amplifiers focussed in this area, the beginning of a long road of high ...

Analog Devices has introduced a 12bit ADC that  operates at 10.25Gsample/s.

The MAX22505 ±40V high-speed USB fault protector from Maxim lets designers eliminate USB port damage from all faults

Diodes introduces a 10+10W stereo Class-D audio amplifier with an anti-clipping circuit to avoid distortion at high volume settings

TI has introduced a new automotive Ethernet PHY transceiver that cuts the external component count and board space in half and claims to consume half the power of competitive solutions. The DP83TC811S-Q1’s support for serial gigabit media independent interface (SGMII), small packaging and integrated diagnostic features enable designers to bring greater intelligence via Ethernet connectivity to space-constrained automotive body electronics, ...

Teledyne e2v has released its most advanced ADC yet, with four 12bit 1.5Gsample/s converters that can be mixed and matched across one to four inputs – allowing single-channel 6Gsample/s operation. Called EV12AQ600, it is “the first quad-channel ADC suitable for space applications”, claimed the firm. “Customers can design systems that operate the cores independently or synchronised, in quad-channel at 1.5Gsample/s, ...
