Barely three months after its last new precision op-amp, STMicroelectronics has released another, this time with a gain-bandwidth of 22MHz, a slew rate of 11V/μs and a maximum input-offset voltage of 200µV (50µV typical at 25°C). Called TSV7722, it is aimed at high-speed signal conditioning and accurate current measurement in power-conversion circuits and optical sensors. Input ...

EPC has announced a laser driver that integrates a 40V 10A GaN power switch with a differential input gate driver. Called EPC21603, its inputs are LVDS (low-voltage differential signalling) compatible – allowing it to be driven by an FPGA in applications where noise immunity is critical. The similar chip, the single-ended input EPC21601 was introduced last month. ...
