Eighth-Brick Converters First To Offer 4:1 Inputs
Embarking as the first eighth-brick dc-dc converter modules supporting 4:1 ultra-wide inputs, 9 to 36 V dc or 18 to 75 V dc, the UWE series from Murata Electronics delivers fixed outputs up to 75 W, making them viable as drop-in replacements for 100-W quarter-bricks where the full 100 W is not needed.
1-W DC-DC Converters Raise Efficiency Bars
Specifying typical efficiencies from 84%, the single-output MEV and dual-output MEA series 1-W dc-dc converters from Murata Electronics deliver a load-regulation performance of less than 5% with an overall load-regulation tolerance envelope of 9%.
Sigma-Delta ADC Optimize Bandwidth And Resolution
Touting the industry’s best combination of operating frequency, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the 16-bit AD9261 and AD9262 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and the AD9267 continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) modulator from Analog Devices, Inc, couple low noise and high dynamic range with a bandwidth up to 10 MHz.
First Reconfigurable 10-Bit ADC
Unveiled as the industry’s first reconfigurable four-channel, 10-bit 1.25-Gsample/s analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the EV10AQ190 ADC from e2v is a monolithic chip featuring four separate digitally-programmable ADC channels.
Three-Channel, High-Brightness LED Pixel Drivers Operate Up To 25 V
ON Semiconductor has expanded its line of constant-current, low dropout driver (LDD) products to include two high-brightness RGB LED pixel drivers.
