TI aims at audio with low-noise low-power op amps

Description   The OPA1662 (dual) and OPA1664 (quad) series of bipolar-input operational amplifiers achieve a low 3.3 nV/√Hz noise density with an ultralow distortion of 0.00006% at 1 kHz. The OPA1662 and OPA1664 series of op amps offer rail-to-rail output swing to within 600 mV with 2-kΩ load, which increases headroom and maximizes dynamic range.

DARPA circuit smashes electronic speed record

Getting into the Guinness Book of World Records isn’t just about who can eat the most hotdogs or fly a paper airplane the highest. Sometimes it involves technological breakthroughs with huge potential. Guinness has handed DARPA’s Terahertz Electronics program the award for the fastest solid-state amplifier integrated circuit. Developed by Northrop Grumman, the Terahertz Monolithic

Why we’re different, by Bob Dobkin

“We’re not like other semiconductor companies,” says Bob Dobkin, co-founder and CTO of Linear Technology, “for the most part we have a unique set of products because we combine circuit design, silicon design and testing.” Dobkin is an analogue legend having designed the industry’s first three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator, the first bipolar low-dropout regulator and

Melexis motor driver has on chip EEPROM

MLX83203 General Description The MLX83203 pre-driver is designed to drive high-current N-type FET 3-phase motor control applications. A combination of bootstrap and charge pump enables driving 6 NFETs, with gate charges up to 400nC/NFET with a minimum of device self-heating. The IC reset level below 4.5V allows for low-voltage operation. Each of the 6 external
