World's smallest claim for low-noise
LDOs
The MAX8530, MAX8531 and MAX8532 are claimed to be the world's smallest, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators.
According to Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX8530, MAX8531 and MAX8532 are the world's smallest, low-noise, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators Overall solution size is 80% smaller than the competition's, making these devices ideal for low-noise, space-sensitive applications

Speedy DAC claims dynamic superiority for comms
The MAX5195 is a 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to provide the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range, intermodulation distortion and signal to noise ratio.
Applications include cellular phones, PDAs, and wireless LANs.
Package area is 1.8mm2 in a 6-bump UCSP (1.63 x 1.12mm) compared with 9mm2 (MFL package) for the closest competitor.
The MAX8530/MAX8531 are dual linear regulators and the MAX8532 is a single linear regulator.
All devices have preset output voltage combinations between 1.5 and 3.3V with 1% output accuracy.
The MAX8531 offers low-noise performance: only 40uV root-mean-square output noise and up to 60dB PSRR.
The MAX8530 incorporates both a 200mA LDO and 150mA LDO with a 140ms timed reset and only 130uA ground current for two outputs.
To maximise battery life in portable applications, these devices feature 100mV of dropout at 100mA and less than 1uA of shutdown current.
The MAX8510, MAX8511 and MAX8512 provide thermal-overload and short-circuit protection, and have an input voltage range from 2.5 to 6.5V.
The MAX8530, MAX8531 and MAX8532 are available in space-saving 6-bump UCSP and 6-pin thin QFN packages screened for the extended-industrial temperature range (-40 to +85C).
Prices start at $0.68 (1000-up, FOB USA).
