Single and dual high performance, wide bandwidth lowpass active filter/ADC driver amplifiers launched. For filtering applications in broadband wireless communications and signal processing equipment, Linear Technology has introduced a family of five single and dual high performance, wide bandwidth lowpass active filter/ADC driver amplifiers. The LTC6603 features a dual matched programmable ninth order switched capacitor linear-phase filter and ADC driver. The filter’s lowpass cut-off...
Diminutive-sized radio receiver
Silicon Labs' radio receiver IC claims to be the industry's smallest. The smallest fully-integrated automotive AM/FM radio receiver IC, the Si474x, is the first to be implemented in CMOS. It supports worldwide radio band requirements, including FM, FM radio data system (RDS), AM, long wave (LW), short wave (SW) and weather bands. By reducing the external component count and associated cost by more than 40% compared to other models, the new single chip is a 4mm x 4mm package and consumes...
