‘Buffer Amplifier’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Rugged ICs target automotive applications from
International Rectifier, which we summarised at the time by saying "International Rectifier offers a range of rugged 600V ICs for energy-efficient automotive gate drive applications including piezo and common rail injection, fan and compressor applications.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Teseq improves radiated EMC immunity test tool from
Teseq: "Teseq has improved its ITS 6006 Immunity Test System for radiated EMC immunity testing by enhancing the RF power meters used in conjunction with the unit. ".
In September 2010, we covered the news from Maxim Integrated Products
- take a look at VGA suits AGC circuits in wireless infrastructures
which says: "The MAX2063 from Maxim Integrated Products is a fully programmable, multistate, dual-channel, digital IF/RF variable-gain amplifier (VGA) ideal for 'fast-attack' automatic gain control (AGC) circuits.".
Take a look also at the news release from Antenova, FM antenna module targets digital media devices,
as well as Low-noise amplifier for cellular applications from Avago Technologies,
and Small LED driver suitable for dot-matrix displays from Austriamicrosystems.
