Texas Instruments introduced the CDCLVC11xx, CDCLVD12xx/21xx and CDCLVP12xx/21xx, three separate clock buffer families that offer improved clock signal quality with the industry's lowest additive jitter. These buffers are targeted at a variety of communication applications with frequency support of up to 2GHz (LVPECL), 800MHz (LVDS) and 250MHz (LVCMOS). These families of clock distribution buffers also save customers board space with small-footprint QFN and TSSOP options. In addition to supporting customers' general-purpose clock buffering and distribution needs, these devices also meet stringent additive jitter requirements for wireless infrastructure, data communications and telecommunications, medical imaging and industrial applications.

Analog Devices introduced the highly integrated ADM1275 hot-swap controller and power monitor for 2-20V input supplies. The new controller/monitor provides best in class power monitoring accuracy of 0.7% current sense accuracy with only 20 mV insertion loss when compared to alternative solutions. The ADM1275 enables accurate measurement of incoming power to allowing the system to take intelligent actions to reduce power consumption. By limiting inrush current during power up and enabling faster shutdown whenever an over current event happens, system reliability is improved. Over and under voltage monitoring of the back plane voltage ensures that circuit boards only operate when the backplane voltage is within specification. The new device also features current and voltage readback via an integrated 12- bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated through a PMBus interface.

Texas Instruments Introduced the DRV8412 evaluation kit (DRV8412-C2-KIT), the first in a new line of scalable evaluation platforms for spinning motors. The DRV8412 evaluation kit includes all of the hardware and software needed to spin two brushed DC motors or a single stepper motor out of the box. This highly integrated, robust solution speeds development time for brushed DC and stepper motors running up to 6 A continuous/12 A peak at 50 V. Applications include medical pumps, gate openers, stage lighting, textile manufacturing tools, and industrial or consumer robotics.
