TI chip combines body analysis in weighing scales

Description The AFE4300 is a low-cost analog front-end incorporating two separate signal chains: one chain for weight-scale (WS) measurement and the other for body composition measurement (BCM) analysis. A 16-bit, 860-SPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is multiplexed between both chains. The weight measurement chain includes an instrumentation amplifier (INA) with the gain set by an external

Dual diode controller replaces two high power Schottkys

Dual diode controller two high power Schottkys replaces

Description The LTC®4353 controls external N-channel MOSFETs to implement an ideal diode function. It replaces two high power Schottky diodes and their associated heat sinks, saving power and board area. The ideal diode function permits low loss power supply ORing and supply holdup applications. The LTC4353 regulates the forward-voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure

“Smart” lithium ion battery would warn users if it is going to ignite

“Smart” lithium-ion battery would warn users if it is going to ignite

There have been numerous cases of lithium-ion batteries catching fire in everything from mobile phones and laptops to cars and airplanes. While the odds of this occurring are low, the fact that hundreds of millions of lithium-ion batteries are produced and sold every year means the risk is still very real. Researchers at Stanford University

Microchip zero drift op amp is low power for medical

Microchip zero-drift op amp is low power for medical

Description The MCP6V11/1U family of operatioinal amplifiers provides input offset voltage correction for very low offset and offset drift. These are low power devices, with a gain bandwidth product of 80 kHz. They are unity gain stable, have no 1/f noise, and provide superior CMRR and PSRR performance. These products operate with a single supply
