Power chip makes the most of a single cell
A buck-boost power management IC helps extend battery life in smart phones, digital still cameras and other single-cell lithium-ion powered multimedia devices.
RF platform brings three radios together
Texas Instruments has developed the industry's first solution that integrates mobile WLAN (mWLAN), Bluetooth and FM stereo audio all in a space-saving platform for mobile phones.
The new single-channel receivers save space, power consumption and cost in end equipment such as cellular basestations, central office switches, network switches, routers and AdvancedTCA systems.
The devices provide better technical performance in applications such as clock and synchronisation distribution and control, as well as data signal transfer over backplanes and cables.
The SN65MLVD2 type-1 M-LVDS receiver provides the best noise margin with switching occurring near the zero volt (differential) input level.
The SN65MLVD3 type-2 M-LVDS receiver provides built-in failsafe protection and eliminates the need for external pull-up/down resistors.
The addition of the SN65MLVD2 and SN65MLVD3 complements Texas Instruments' M-LVDS family of products including transceivers, drivers, receivers and clock fan-out buffers.
Texas Instruments' interface IC offering for telecommunications also includes LVDS, PECL, RS485, PCI-Express and gigabit Ethernet serialisers and deserialisers (serdes).
Both the SN65MLVD2 and SN65MLVD3 are available in volume quantities from TI and its authorised distributors packaged in 8-pin small outline package (DRB).
Suggested resale pricing in 1000-piece quantities is US $1.45 each for both the SN65MLVD2 and SN65MLVD3.
