Power Delivery dc-dc for up to 20V and 3A

STMicroelectronics is aiming at USB Power Delivery up to 60W (20V 3A) with a digitally programmable synchronous buck converter. Called STPD01, it will accept between 6 and 26.4V, and, controlled over I2C, deliver 3 to 20V in 20mV steps to meet PD specifications – with slew rate controllable up to 30mV/μs. Current can be set from ...

TI’s oscilloscope input buffer amp combines 3GHz operation with low noise

Texas instruments has revealed a buffer amplifier developed especially for oscilloscope inputs from dc to GHz. BUF802 signal paths “Oscilloscope manufacturers have got a choice: develop a discrete JFET input stage and risk limited performance, or develop their own asic,” TI general manager of linear amplifiers John Caldwell told Electronics Weekly. Developing a custom asic ...
