Programmable LED driver removes need for
binning
Because of its sophisticated programming capabilities, the MAX16816 overcomes many problems and design limitations in older generation LED drivers.
The MAX16816 from Maxim Integrated Products is a high-voltage programmable high-brightness (HB) LED driver for automotive and general lighting applications Far more versatile than competing devices, the MAX16816 provides many user-programmable features through on-chip nonvolatile EEPROM registers

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.
Using a microcontroller and a single-wire interface, the programming is done either at the factory or by the designer in the field.
The MAX16816 integrates all the building blocks necessary to implement fixed-frequency HBLED drivers with wide-range dimming control.
It is configurable to operate as a step-down (buck), step-up (boost) or step-up/down (buck-boost) current regulator.
