The MAX3806 is a high-sensitivity, high-dynamic-range TIA (transimpedance amplifier) for laser-based distance-measurement applications such as automotive active cruise control, industrial safety curtains, and consumer/construction range finders. This TIA can receive an input signal as low as 42nAP-P and amplify it to the range required by low-cost differential ADCs, while handling overload signals of up to 2mAP-P. A pin-selectable gain setting of 30kO or 60kO allows the MAX3806 to achieve typical bandwidths of 98MHz and 49MHz, respectively, for a variety of applications using the same device. The MAX3806 operates from a single 5.0V supply, and is specified over the -40°C to +105°C AEC-Q100 Level 2 temperature range. It is available in a lead-free, 12-pin TQFN package...

The MAX9670 and MAX9671 are +3.3V dual SCART solutions with audio volume control for set-top boxes and A/V receivers that have two SCART connectors. These devices utilize power-saving technologies to achieve the industry's lowest power consumption. At 49mm² or smaller, the MAX9670/MAX9671 are the industry's smallest complete dual SCART solutions. Though competing dual SCART devices require +5V and +12V supplies, the MAX9670 and MAX9671 operate audio and video circuitry from +3.3V and only require +12V for the slow-switching signal. An internal charge pump inverts the +3.3V supply and generates a -3.3V supply, thereby providing sufficient voltage swing to support 2.0VRMS audio. These SCART ICs integrate load-detect and activity-detect circuitry that enables designers to intelligently reduce system power consumption for extended power savings. The MAX9670 is available in a compact, 6mm x 6mm, 40-pin TQFN package, while the MAX9671 is packaged in a 7mm x 7mm, 44-pin TQFN. Both devices are fully specified over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range...

The MAX14550E is a Hi-Speed USB analog switch with a USB host-charger identification circuit to automatically detect portable devices. The MAX14550E allows a host to charge portable devices even when the host is in standby and cannot enumerate USB devices. The MAX14550E supports the USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.0 with shorted D+/D- detection, as well as Apple;-compliant devices using a set resistor bias. Integrating this functionality within a single IC eliminates the need for multiple discrete components and minimizes software overhead. This low-cost solution is well suited for space-constrained notebooks and netbooks. The MAX14550E features a high-performance, Hi-Speed USB switch with low 4pF (typ) on-capacitance and low 4 O (typ) on-resistance. Operating over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range, the device is available in a 3mm x 3mm, 10-pin TDFN package...

The QorIQ P1012/P1021 are the first processors based on its QorIQ communications platform that also incorporate QUICC Engine multiprotocol technology. The QorIQ P1012/P1021 product family offers a high-performance, low-power migration path to all-IP environments for customers using legacy multiprotocol interfaces. The QorIQ P1012 and P1021 processors deliver highly efficient multiprotocol processing by integrating the latest QUICC Engine technology alongside one or two 800 MHz cores based on Power Architecture; technology. The combination of the QorIQ and QUICC Engine technologies enables the devices to provide both data- and control-plane processing, which eliminates the need for separate FPGAs or ASICs...
