‘Analogue Inputs’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release High slew-rate option for power supplies from Magna-Power Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Power supply expert Magna-Power Electronics has released a high slew-rate output option to meet the demands of fast-performance DC applications such as battery charging and photovoltaic emulation.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release VGA for wireless infrastructure transceivers from Maxim Integrated Products: "Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX2062, a fully programmable, multistate, dual-channel, analogue and digital IF/RF variable-gain amplifier suitable for automatic gain control circuits.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Allegro Microsystems - take a look at Sensor IC withstands harsh automotive environments which says: "Allegro Microsystems has launched the A1356, a user-programmable linear Hall-effect sensor IC with a pulse width modulated (PWM) output for automotive gear and clutch detection and position sensing.".
Take a look also at the news release from Tektronix, Tektronix offers architecture for PCI Express 3.0, as well as CMOS LDO regulators for low-power applications from Torex Semiconductor, and TFT LCD targets display instrument applications from Saelig.
