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.

New from Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX1162 serial-interface 16bit A/D convertor connects directly to SPI, QSPI and Microwire devices without additional interface logic.
The MAX1562 has an active-low enable, and the MAX1562H has an active-high enable input.
The MAX1563 has a selectable active-high or active-low logic-controlled enable and its current limit is programmed from 1 to 4A using a resistor.
The MAX1563 comes in 4 x 4mm QFN package that is 0.8mm high - 47% smaller than competitors' parts packaged in 6 x 5mm SOPs.
The MAX1562, MAX1562H and MAX1563 have several safety features to protect the USB ports.
Built-in thermal protection turns off the switches when the die temperature exceeds +160C.
Accurate current limiting protects the input supply from both overload and short-circuit conditions.
And, an open-drain fault signal notifies the microprocessor when a thermal overload, current limit, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), or short-circuit fault occurs.
Additionally, a 20ms fault-blanking feature enables the circuit to ignore momentary faults, such as those caused when hot-swapping a capacitive load, thus preventing false alarms to the host system.
The fault blanking also prevents fault signals from being issued when the device powers up the load.
To save the cost and size of external components, an autoreset feature automatically restarts the output after the short or overload condition is removed.
The low 40uA quiescent current drops to only 3uA when the switch is off.
The MAX1562/MAX1562HESA are available in 8-pin SO packages and are pin-compatible upgrades to the MIC2545A/MIC2549A.
The MAX1563ETC is packaged in a smaller 12-pin (4 x 4mm) QFN.
All parts are screened for the extended-industrial temperature range (-40 to +85C).
Prices start at $1.20 (1000-up, FOB USA).
