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.
Low-power serial ADC runs up to 200Ksample/s
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.
This Li-ion (Li+) fuel gauge and protector is programmable and designed for single-cell applications.
It incorporates a MAXQ microcontroller, as well as ample program and data memory as part of an accurate system for battery current, voltage and temperature measurement.
In the past, manufacturers have been forced to adapt ICs designed for 9- to 12-cell count battery packs like those in notebook computers.
