An enhanced version of Hitachi's popular 5.6 inch 1/4 VGA monochrome display is now available for use in industrial instrumentation and communications equipment.
Highest density for 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs
Three new 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs that give the highest density available in a single package are being introduced by design-in specialist GD Technik.
It delivers high sampling rates as well as digitisation over a wide bandwidth providing excellent dynamic performance in undersampling - high-input frequency digitising - applications.
The TS8388B is an 8bit monolithic ADC that is based on advanced high-speed bipolar technology.
Its features include high sampling rates of 1Gsample/s and an on-chip sample and hold (SH) which allows a full power input bandwidth of 1.5GHz.
The device's architecture comprises a front-end master/slave track and hold stage, followed by an analogue encoding stage and interpolation circuitry.
Successive banks of latches regenerate the analogue residuals into logical data before entering the error correction circuitry and resynchronisation stage.
Gray or binary format data output is selectable via a control pin.
Additionally, a data ready output with asynchronous reset is available.
The ADC packaged in a 68-pin ceramic quad flat pack (CQFP) provides a very low bit error rate of 10e-13 at 1Gsample/s and very low input capacitance.
Power consumption is typically 3.4W.
The device is available in commercial, industrial and military grade temperature ranges.
To enable quick and easy evaluation of the TS8388B an evaluation board is available.
The board with dimensions of 130 x 130mm is constituted of a sandwich of two dielectric layers, featuring low insertion loss and enhanced thermal characteristics for operation of the ADC in the high frequency domain and extended military temperature ranges.
