Analogue and digital come together in PSoC MCU
Future Electronics has the world's first Programmable System-on-a-Chip (PSoC) microcontroller from Cypress Microsystems.
The first products introduced are the new DG9408DN and DG9409DN, single 8 x 1 and dual 4 x 1 analogue multiplexers.
Modelled after Vishay Siliconix's original DG408 and DG409, these new devices represent a technological progression to meet today's demands for precision in data acquisition, sample-and-hold circuits, and audio/video signal routing.
The DG9408DN and DG9409DN offer low on-resistance (3.9ohm typical), fast switching speeds (switch on and off in 42 and 24ns, respectively), high bandwidth (greater than 100 MHz) and optimised off-isolation and crosstalk (-60dB at 1MHz) in a wide operating voltage range (3 to 12V single supply and +/-3 to +/-6V dual supply).
Space savings will be significant as well, with the QFN-16 package requiring a footprint of just 4 x 4mm.
Gurjit Gill, Technical Director, Future Electronics said: "Future is delighted to be launching these Vishay Siliconix products to the European market.
Engineers designing applications such as data acquisition systems, portable test equipment and communications systems where space is an important consideration will welcome this new package option".
Further additions to the new QFN family will include analogue switches optimised for 3V operation, planned for release in Q4.
Data, samples, and production quantities of the DG9408 and DG9409 are available now.
