Based on new Silicon Labs products, OEM and post-market radio designs can be extended from low-cost, single-tuner AM/FM radios to high-performance systems with multiple tuners and multiple antennas, enabling car radio suppliers to take advantage of it R&D investment spans multiple product lines, and all product lines can use the same common software API.

RadioVerse addresses radio design issues at the circuit, architecture, system, and software levels. This release includes the AD9375 RF transceiver, the latest addition to Analog Devices' highly integrated broadband RF transceiver family.

Linear Technology Corporation has introduced the LTC2862A enhanced version of the LTC2862, a ±60V tolerant RS485/RS422 transceiver that was introduced several years ago and has been widely adopted. The two half-duplex transceivers protect the actual RS485 system against cross-line faults, ground faults, or lightning-induced surge voltages during installation, eliminating on-site faults without the need for expensive external protection devices. Faults can cause overvoltage conditions that exceed the absolute maximum ratings of a typical transceiver. Both devices operate within the 3V to 5.5V supply voltage range while maintaining TIA/EIA-485-A compliance. However, the LTC2862A offers higher performance specifications, including unprecedented ±40kV human body model (HBM) and IEC Level4 ESD ratings, resulting in higher ESD protection and noise immunity compared to its predecessor, providing higher performance Ruggedness and signal integrity.

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC7124, a high efficiency, 4MHz synchronous dual output buck regulator that uses a constant frequency, peak current mode architecture. The device is available in a compact package with a footprint of 3mm x 5mm, providing up to 3.5A of continuous output current per channel, or a two-phase single output up to 7A. The LTC7124 operates from an input voltage range of 3.1V to 17V, with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 99% of VIN, with a high ±1% VOUT accuracy, making it ideal for 1- to 4-cell Li-Ion battery applications and 5V and 12V Intermediate bus system. Other key applications include battery-powered systems, point-of-load power supplies, portable instruments, and handheld scanners.

Recently, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announced the launch of new 16-pin and 24-pin versions that conform to JEDEC MO-137 variation AB and AE, and expanded its OSOP series of surface-mount duals in a 25-mil pin pitch QSOP package. Road straight type thin film network resistance. Vishay Dale thin-film network resistors provide isolated, common pin-pin and custom circuits, with tolerances of ±0.025% relative resistance and ±5ppm/°C lower than TCR, enabling higher accuracy than competing devices.

Its 4V to 140V (absolute maximum of 150V) input voltage range allows operation with high-voltage input power supplies or input power with high-voltage surges, eliminating the need for external surge suppression devices. The LTC3895 continuously operates with up to 100% duty cycle when the input voltage drops to 4V, making it ideal for automotive and heavy equipment applications.

Mouser Electronics continues to focus on new product introductions (NPIs) and offers a wide range of product types, and announced today that it will stock with the Texas Instruments (TI) AM571x Sitara application processor. This ARM® Cortex® technology-based processor is highly efficient and can meet the urgent needs of modern embedded applications for processing performance, including industrial communications, human-machine interface (HMI), automation and control.

Microchip Technology Inc. announced the introduction of the SAM D5x and SAM E5x microcontroller (MCU) families. These new 32-bit MCU series provide a variety of connection interfaces, not only powerful, but also have a hardware-based and reliable security features, suitable for a variety of applications.

The Infineon XMC1400 microcontroller from MOUSER offers a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0 core with outstanding real-time computing capabilities and a full range of peripheral functions. This 48MHz microcontroller is equipped with up to 200KB of flash and 16KB of RAM, providing a highly flexible set of peripherals including timers, PWM modules, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that can operate at 96MHz.

IoT applications are increasingly complex, driving the need for multiple sensors, complex user interface displays, advanced algorithms, and wireless protocol stacks. As the power budget shrinks, the MCU must also be as energy efficient as possible in sleep mode to maximize battery life. Giant Gecko MCUs address these challenges by increasing integration, performance, and energy efficiency.
