Analogue and Discretes

Analog Devices has introduced a new MEMS IMU (inertial measurement unit) in its iSensor range and the signficance is this is a tactical grade 10-degree-of-freedom (DoF) sensor

High voltage LDMOS (laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor) is the optimal technology choice for defence and avionics RF power applications up to 3.8GHz

The Scotland-based firm said it tackles the audio quality issues caused by routing analogue signals over longer distances

"Responding to sensor system designer needs, we have developed a digital technique to correct both first-order and third-order nonlinearity errors," said Steve Ramdin, product manager at ZMDI

Increasing vineyard yields is important work and Memsic, the Massachusetts MEMS specialist, has found a way to do that with wireless sensor networks.

The devices which interface USB 2.0 with digital level UART cables incorporate the firm's FT232H Hi-Speed USB interface ICs mounted on a circuit board contained within the USB connector at the end of the cable

Intersil's investment plan for the automotive market is coming to fruition with a range of products either launched or about to be launched.

"Efficiency can be misleading," says Bob Dobkin, co-founder and CTO of Linear Technology, "efficiency is only valid for comparing two identical regulators with the same input voltage, the same output voltage and the same output current."

The AT86RF232 transceiver supports the ZigBee RF4CE specification aimed at consumer remotes, keyboards and 3D glasses

The combination of high output power, efficiency and bandwidth has commercial wireless communications designs in mind as well as traditional military and avionics
