Dual, simultaneous sampling, 14‑bit SAR ADC offers differential inputs
The AD7381 is a 14‑bit, pin-compatible, dual simultaneous sampling, high speed, low power, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features throughput rates up to 4 MSPS. The analog input type is differential, accepts a wide common-mode input voltage, and is sampled and […]
Dual-driver IO-Link device transceiver integrates dc-dc buck regulator
Designers can now enable smarter digital factories with the MAX22513 surge-protected, dual-driver IO-Link device transceiver with integrated DC-DC buck regulator from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. As the industry’s smallest, most power-efficient and robust IO-Link device transceiver, it is ideal for industrial IO-Link sensors and actuator devices. The MAX22513 from Maxim Integrated is the smallest, most […]
LoRaWAN security design tips: Designing with a stand-alone security chip
With the growth of the Internet of Things, cyber attacks are increasing at an alarming rate (Figure 1). Key provisioning, a process of key generation and device authentication, is a critical part of establishing security. Whoever holds the key will be able to access the payloads, i.e. the valuable data stored in the application server(s). […]
Ultra-small crystal oscillators work over wide temperature range
The QTC Series of ultra-miniature XO, TCXO and VCXO devices are fully qualified, configuration-controlled and thoroughly tested to meet the same high standards as Q-Tech’s larger models. The QTC Series oscillators boast stability as tight as ±50 ppm from -55 to +125°C as well as ±0.5 ppm from -40 to +85°C. All devices in the […]
SiP simplifies migrating from a microcontroller to Linux
Octavo Systems today introduced the OSD32MP1, their first System-in-Package (SiP) product based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics. The OSD32MP1 allows users of the popular STM32 family to move to Linux without adding size or complexity to their design. Octavo has leveraged their years of experience creating tightly integrated system building blocks to develop […]
