Maxim Integrated has unveiled the MAX98396 Class D/G speaker amplifier with what it claims is the industry’s lowest noise and lowest quiescent power consumption, which is nearly five times lower power than similar amplifiers, says Maxim. The 20V digital input audio power amplifier offers 12.7mW of quiescent power.

Texas Instruments (TI) has expanded its portfolio of high-speed data converters with a broad new family of successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that enable high-precision data acquisition in industrial designs. The ADC3660 family includes eight SAR ADCs in 14-, 16- and 18-bit resolution at sampling speeds ranging from 10 to 125MSPS.

Murata has announced the availability of its MGJ2 series, a new line of surface mount DC-DC converters. Comprised of six models, the lightweight units each have a 2W power rating and are supplied in compact, low-profile form factor modules measuring just 19.49mm x 14.99mm x 4.39mm dimensions. Available in 12V and 15V voltage rails, they feature +15V/-5V, +15V/-9V, and +20V/-5V bipolar outputs.
