The ADuM7440/ADuM7441/ADuM7442 four-channel Digital Isolators provide superior performance and lower cost than optocouplers. Using patented iCoupler® technology, they combine high-speed CMOS with integrated micro-transformers, eliminating the uncertain current-transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions, and drift (with time and temperature) associated with optocouplers. Power consumption is as much as 90% less, and no external drivers or discrete devices are required. Providing 1-kV isolation, they meet UL and CSA safety- and regulatory requirements. Featuring 3-ns pulse-width distortion, 6-ns channel-to-channel mismatch, and 15-kV/μs common-mode transient immunity, A-, B-, and C-grades operate at data rates from dc to 1 Mbps, 10 Mbps, and 25 Mbps, respectively. The power supplies on each side can range from 3 V to 5.5 V, allowing level-translation across the isolation barrier. Refresh circuitry ensures correct output data levels in the absence of input transitions—and during power-up and power-down conditions. The ADuM7440 has four channels that communicate in the same direction; the ADuM7441 has one channel that communicates in one direction and three that communicate in the reverse direction; and the ADuM7442 has two channels that communicate in one direction and two that communicate in the reverse direction.

The ADM6326, ADM6328, ADM6346, and ADM6348 ultralow-power Microprocessor Reset circuits monitor the supply voltage in microprocessor-based systems—and provide an active-low reset signal during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. With 24 reset threshold voltage options, from 2.2 V to 4.63 V, they are ideal for monitoring supplies from 2.5 V to 5 V. An internal timer maintains the reset condition for at least 100 ms, allowing the power supply a chance to stabilize. The ADM6326 and ADM6346 have push-pull outputs; the ADM6328 and ADM6348 have open-drain outputs. The ADM6326 and ADM6328 guarantee a 1-μA maximum supply current.

The ADM12914 four-channel Voltage Supervisor monitors four power supplies and provides an active-low, open-drain alert signal when any of them experiences an under- or over-voltage condition. A high-precision version of the ADM2914, it features an industry-leading threshold accuracy of ±0.8% max over the ­–40°C to +125°C temperature range. Two of the four inputs monitor positive supplies; the other two inputs can be independently configured to monitor either positive- or negative supplies. The fault outputs are immune to power supply glitches; and an adjustable delay allows the supplies to stabilize after all faults have cleared. An input-supply shunt regulator enables the device to be run off of higher-voltage supplies. Two different versions are available: the -1 includes a latch function, while the -2 includes a disable function.

The ADP2114 dual high-efficiency step-down DC-to-DC converter is available in six fixed-output options from 0.8 V to 3.3 V, and an adjustable-output option that can be set as low as 0.6 V. It can be configured to deliver two independent 2-A outputs, two independent 1-A/3-A outputs, or a single, interleaved 4-A output with reduced output ripple. It features 1.5% output accuracy and up to 95% efficiency. Optimized gate slew rate reduces EMI emissions. The switching frequency—which can be set to 300 kHz, 600 kHz, or 1.2 MHz—can be synchronized to an external clock to minimize system noise. The robust design features a programmable soft-start time, short-circuit- and thermal-overload protection, and under-voltage lockout.

With its low leakage, low intermodulation distortion, and high input linearity, achieved through balanced design, it is ideal for cellular base stations. A high-linearity IF buffer amp follows the mixer core.

The single ADL5357 and dual ADL5358 900-MHz Balanced Mixers mix RF inputs in the 500-MHz to 1500-MHz range with a local oscillator (LO) to produce IF outputs in the 40-MHz to 450-MHz range. A highly linear doubly balanced passive mixer core, integrated RF and LO balancing circuitry, and an on-chip RF balun using high-side LO injection allow single-ended operation. With its low leakage, low intermodulation distortion, and high input linearity, achieved through balanced design, it is ideal for cellular base stations. A high-linearity IF buffer amp follows the mixer core.

The ADL5365 2-GHz Balanced Mixer mixes an RF input in the 1500-MHz to 2500-MHz range with a local oscillator (LO) to produce an IF output in the dc to 450-MHz range. A highly linear doubly balanced passive mixer core, integrated RF and LO balancing circuitry, and an on-chip RF balun using low-side LO injection allow single-ended operation. With its low leakage, low intermodulation distortion, and high input linearity, achieved through balanced design, it is ideal for cellular base stations.

The ADL5367 900-MHz Balanced Mixer mixes an RF input in the 500-MHz to 1500-MHz range with a local oscillator (LO) to produce an IF output in the dc to 450-MHz range. A highly linear doubly balanced passive mixer core, integrated RF and LO balancing circuitry, and an on-chip RF balun using high-side LO injection allow single-ended operation. With its low leakage, low intermodulation distortion, and high input linearity, achieved through balanced design, it is ideal for cellular base stations.

The ADL5801 Active Mixer mixes an RF input in the 10-MHz to 6000-MHz range with a local oscillator (LO) to produce an IF output in the dc to 600-MHz range. With its low leakage, low intermodulation distortion, and high input linearity, achieved through its doubly balanced active mixer core, LO buffer, and IF amplifier, it is ideal for cellular base stations.

The AD9551 Clock Generator accepts one or two reference input signals and generates one or two output signals that are harmonically related by a programmable factor of 1 to 63. Precisely translating the reference frequency to the desired output frequency, its input receivers and output drivers enable either single-ended or differential operation. It replaces as many as five oscillators previously required to support forward error correction (FEC), holdover, switchover, and precise frequency generation in network switches, routers, and line cards. On-chip reference monitoring and switchover circuitry synchronizes the two references to prevent phase perturbations at the output in the event of a reference failure.
