Angular Rate Sensor provides ±14000°/s dynamic range

The ADIS16266 digital gyroscope provides a digital output proportional to the angular rate about the Z-axis (yaw) for rates up to ±14000°/s minimum. A 12-bit ADC digitizes voltages from: a MEMS gyroscope, an internal temperature sensor, the power-supply, and an auxiliary input, and provides the data via an SPI-compatible interface. An auxiliary 12-bit DAC provides a 0-to-2.5-V output. The device starts up within 170 ms after initial power up—or 2.5 ms when recovering from sleep mode—and automatically begins sampling the sensor without requiring intervention from a system processor. Programmable filter length and sampling rate enable noise and bandwidth to be tailored to the application. Typical specifications include 4.17°/s/LSB sensitivity, 0.44°/s/√Hz noise density, 0.5°/s/g linear acceleration effect, 360-Hz bandwidth, and 2429-sps sampling rate; with sensitivity and bias fully calibrated over the –40°C to +70°C temperature range.

High-efficiency, high-voltage step-down DC-to-DC Converters drive 800-mA loads

The ADP2370/ADP2371 high-efficiency buck converters use high-speed current-mode, constant-frequency PWM control for excellent stability and transient response. A power saving mode (PSM) reduces the switching frequency under light-load conditions to ensure the longest battery life in portable applications, but operation in PWM mode can be forced when noise considerations are more important than efficiency. The wide 3.2‑V to 15-V operating range allows the use of multiple stacked alkaline, NiMH, and lithium cells. The robust design includes undervoltage lockout, soft start, short-circuit and thermal-overload protection, a power-good output, and internal compensation. Operating at 600 kHz or 1.2 MHz, or synchronized to an external clock, both devices include an internal power switch and a synchronous rectifier to minimize part count and maximize efficiency. The ADP2371 adds a function that automatically discharges the output capacitor when the device is disabled. The ADP2370/71 draw 725 µA in PWM mode, 13.5 µA in PSM mode, and 1.2 µA in shutdown mode. Available in 8-lead LFCSP packages, they are specified from –40°C to +125°C and priced at $1.40 in 1000s.

6-A, 20-V synchronous Step-Down Regulator includes low-side driver

Operating with an input voltage between 4.5 V and 20 V, the device can deliver up to 6 A at a regulated output voltage between 0.6 V and 90% of the input voltage. The switching frequency can be programmed between 250 kHz and 1.2 MHz, fixed at 290 kHz or 550 kHz, or synchronized to an external clock to minimize system noise. External compensation and soft start provide design flexibility, while the power good output provides reliable power sequencing. The robust device also includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD). Available in a 16-lead TSSOP package, the ADP2381 is specified with a –40°C to +125°C junction temperature rating and priced at $1.68 in 1000s.
