The MAX15012/MAX15013 high-frequency, 175V half-bridge, n-channel MOSFET drivers drive high- and low-side MOSFETs in high-voltage applications. These drivers are independently controlled and their 35ns typical propagation delay, from input to output, are matched to within 2ns (typ). The high-voltage operation with very low and matched propagation delay between drivers, and high source/sink current capabilities make these devices suitable for the high-power, high-frequency telecom power converters. A reliable on-chip bootstrap diode connected between VDD and BST eliminates the need for an external discrete diode.The MAX15012A/C and MAX15013A/C offer both noninverting drivers (see the Selector Guide of the full data sheet). The MAX15012B/D and MAX15013B/D offer a noninverting high-side driver and an inverting low-side driver. The MAX15012A/B/C/D feature CMOS (VDD/2) logic inputs. The MAX15013A/B/C/D feature TTL logic inputs. The drivers are available in the industry-standard 8-pin SO footprint and pin configuration and a thermally enhanced 8-pin SO package.

The LTC2856-1, LTC2856-2, LTC2857-1, LTC2857-2, LTC2858-1 and LTC2858-2 are low power, RS485/RS422 transceivers operating on 5V supplies at maximum data rates of 20Mbps or 250kbps for low EMI. The receiver has a one-eighth unit load, supporting up to 256 nodes per bus (C, I-Grade), and a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high output state under conditions of floating or shorted inputs.The driver maintains a high output impedance over the entire common mode range when disabled or when the supply is removed. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or a fault is prevented by current limiting all outputs and by thermal shutdown.Enhanced ESD protection allows these parts to withstand ±15kV (human body model) on the transceiver interface pins without latch-up or damage.

The MAX9111/MAX9113 single/dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receivers are designed for high-speed applications requiring minimum power consumption, space, and noise. Both devices support switching rates exceeding 500Mbps while operating from a single +3.3V supply, and feature ultra-low 300ps (max) pulse skew required for high-resolution imaging applications such as laser printers and digital copiers.The MAX9111 is a single LVDS receiver, and the MAX9113 is a dual LVDS receiver.Both devices conform to the EIA/TIA-644 LVDS standard and convert LVDS to LVTTL/CMOS-compatible outputs. A fail-safe feature sets the outputs high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9111/MAX9113 are available in space-saving 8-pin SOT23 and SO packages.

The Maxim ICL7137 is a monolithic analog to digital converter with all the necessary active devices to directly interface with a light emitting diode (LED) display. Excluding the LED display current, the ICL7137 supply current is under 200μA, making it suitable for battery operation.Versatility and accuracy are inherent features of this converter. The dual-slope conversion technique automatically rejects interference signals common in industrial environments. The true differential input and reference are particularly useful when making ratiometric measurements (ohms or bridge transducers), and the zero integrator phase in Maxim's ICL7137 eliminates overrange hangover and hysteresis effects. Finally, this device offers high accuracy by lowering rollover error to less than one count and zero reading drift to less than 1μV/°C.ApplicationsConductanceCurrentMaterial ThicknessPressureResistanceSpeedTemperatureVoltage

The LTC1544 is a 4-driver/4-receiver multiprotocol transceiver.

Cable termination for the LTC1543 may be implemented using the LTC1344A software-selectable cable termination chip or by using existing discrete designs. The LTC1546 includes software-selectable cable termination on-chip. The LTC1544 runs from a 5V supply and the charge pump on the LTC1543 or LTC1546.

The LTC1690 is a low power receiver/driver pair that is compatible with the requirements of RS485 and RS422. The receiver offers a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high receiver output state when the inputs are left open, shorted together or terminated with no signal present. No external components are required to ensure the high receiver output state. Separate driver output and receiver input pins allow full duplex operation. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or faults is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit which forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state. The LTC1690 is fully specified over the commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The LTC1690 is available in 8-Pin SO, MSOP and PDIP packages.

The MAX138/MAX139 are 3 ½ digit A/D converters (ADCs) with on-board LCD (MAX138) and LED (MAX139) display drivers. The MAX138/MAX139 also contain a charge-pump voltage inverter. The charge-pump inverter allows the MAX138/MAX139 to measure both positive and negative input voltages while operating from a single power-supply voltage from +2.5V to +7V. The operating circuits of the MAX138/MAX139 are similar to those of the ICL7136 and ICL7137 respectively, except the MAX138/MAX139 have an internal oscillator and an external charge-pump capacitor connected to pins 38 and 40. MAX140 is a low segment-current version of the MAX139 intended for use with low-current LED displays.Applications+3V Powered DMMs+5V Powered Panel MetersDigital ThermometersInstrumentsPortable MonitorsWeigh Scales
