ADC-FPGA-DAC board processes 12bits at 5.4Gsample/s

Teledyne e2v and Logic-X have developed an FPGA mezzanine card incorporating GHz ADCs and DACs from Telydyne. The 12bit EV12DS460A DAC provides an analogue bandwidth extending beyond 7GHz “facilitating multi-band, direct digital synthesis up to 26.5GHz K-band with a latency of three clock cycles”, according to Logic-X. The 12bit EV12AS350B ADC combines 5.4Gsample/s, an input ...

175°C spec for SOT-23 small-signal diodes and transistors

Nexperia, the former standard products division of NXP, has qualified its SOT-23 packaged  switching diodes BAS16/21 and BC870/817 general purpose transistors to operate at up to 175°C degrees. The 175°C SOT23 devices also feature a 25% higher Ptot (total power dissipation) than basic 150°C rated parts. This enables customers to realise a high-temperature design for under-the-hood ...
