STMicroelectronics‘ RHRDAC121 radiation-hardened, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operates down to 2.5V for use in modern, low-power system designs that older 3.3V parts cannot support. Consuming just 0.6mW at its maximum speed and supply voltage, the 12-bit 1Msps successive approximation register (SAR) DAC helps reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) in next-generation satellites. Typically used in circuits…

STMicroelectronics‘ new VIPerGaN50 simplifies building single-switch flyback converters up to 50 Watts and integrates a 650V gallium-nitride (GaN) power transistor for superior energy efficiency and miniaturization. With its single-switch topology, high integration, current-sensing, and protection circuitry built-in, the VIPerGaN50 comes in a compact and low-cost 5 x 6mm package. The speed of the integrated GaN transistor…

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the smallest 24-bit wideband analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which delivers signal-measurement precision at wider bandwidths than competing ADCs. The ADS127L11, the newest product in TI’s portfolio of precision wideband ADCs, achieves ultra-precise data acquisition in a 50-percent smaller package — significantly optimizing power consumption, resolution, and measurement bandwidth for a range…
