Card power chip meets smart and SIM standards
The LTC4557 is a dual SIM/smart-card power supply and level translator, which provides both 1.8 and 3V SIM power and digital signal level shifting from a 3 x 3mm QFN package.
RF mixers take transformers onboard
Linear Technology has released two new high linearity up-converting RF active mixers with integrated RF transformers.
The new temperature grade broadens Linear's line of industry-standard low power CMOS transceivers, and helps ensure reliable data transmission in harsh environmental conditions commonly posed by automotive applications.
Linear offers a wide selection of LTC285xH transceivers.
Select models feature slew rate limiting, while others include a receiving logic-selectable 120ohm termination.
All devices are designed to operate in systems with 3.3 or 5V supplies, possess a maximum datarate of 20Mbit/s and maintain a high input impedance capable of supporting up to 256 nodes.
In addition, enhanced ESD protection guarantees that no damage or latchup can occur up to +/-15kV HBM.
These features, coupled with a wide operating window, make the LTC285xH family suitable for an array of automotive applications including level translation, backplane transceiving and low power RS422/RS485 transceiving.
The LTC285x family has a variety of ordering options.
Aside from the H-grade version, C and I versions offer more relaxed operating temperature ranges, from 0 to +70 and -40 to +85C, respectively.
Half-and full-duplex versions are available as well.
Industry-standard packages include an 8-lead 3 x 3mm DFN, SO-8, MSOP-10 and SSOP-16, all of which are RoHS compliant.
Pricing starts at US $1.91 each in 1000- piece quantities.
