In my previous column (“Applications Drive Component Power Designs,” Sept. 11, 2008, p. 18, ED Online 19486), I contended that the application drives the selection of a specific power component—or it ...

The 74LVC257A is a quad two-input multiplexer with 5 V tolerant inputs/outputs and 3-state outputs. These 3-state outputs select 4 bits of data from two sources and are controlled by a common data ...

Employing a synchronous rectification topology, the LT8606 step-down regulator from Linear Technology achieves 92% efficiency, while switching at 2 MHz. The switching regulator’s 3.0 V to 42 V input ...

Optoisolators—also called optocouplers or photoisolators—are widely used to provide galvanic (ohmic) isolation of digital-signal inputs and outputs in industrial environments, as well as in other ...

Called TSV782 and working down to 2V, allowing it to use the same power rail as low-voltage logic devices, and consumption is 3.3mA/channel – there is no shut-down pin to reduce this. Slew rate is 20V ...

Here’s a neat idea. Do you want to run a flat panel display both for your computer and your home entertainment video products? That’s something you can’t easily do even with Apple’s fine displays, but ...
