World's simplest buck regulator boosted to 2A
Micrel has boosted the output capability of the industry's simplest surface-mount DC/DC switching convertor to 2A while retaining the device's original SO-8 packaging.
Dual and triple 135MHz low-power op amps
Consuming just 2.4mA per op amp, the MIC915 dual and MIC916 triple op amps extend Micrel's premier family of high-speed, low-power op amps for power-sensitive high-speed applications.
The MIC1700 is designed for use as either a reconstruction filter on the output of the video DACs in set-top boxes (STBs), or as an anti-aliasing filter on the input to high-definition televisions (HDTV) and monitors.
Supporting both component video (Y, Pr, Pb or RGB) and composite video, the MIC1700 integrates 6th-order Butterworth-equivalent video filters, input multiplexers and video amplifiers capable of driving double-terminated, 75ohm loads.
The component video filters have break frequencies switchable from 30 to 8MHz, a capability that enables the MIC1700 to support both high-definition and standard-definition signals.
"Our first offering for the video filter market is a very versatile device that will find wide acceptance in this fast growing area", says Scott Brown, Director, Mixed-Signal and RF Products.
"By integrating switchable filters, we have produced a part that is not only tailored to the needs of emerging high definition applications, but one that will also prove useful to designers still working with the latest standard definition television and monitor systems", he adds.
In thousand-piece quantities, the MIC1700 in 28-pin SOIC-28 packaging is priced at $3.19 each.
Samples are from stock, and an evaluation board is available.
