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.
The MAX8775 is ideal for GPU cores and I/O power generation in battery-powered systems.
Configured in separate mode, the MAX8775 powers two dynamic voltage rails, one for the GPU core and the other for the I/O power rail.
Configured in combined mode, the MAX8775 functions as a two-phase, high-current, single-output GPU core regulator to power the high-performance GPU engines in gaming machines and media centre notebooks.
The MAX8775 is available in a 32-pin TQFN package and is specified over the extended-industrial temperature range (-40 to +85C).
Prices start at $3.45 (1000-up, FOB USA).
A MAX8775 evaluation kit is available with recommended external components to reduce design time.
