The LT1969 is a miniature CPE line driver for ADSL/VDS/xDSL applications. The device consists of a dual, high output power (±300 mA) op amp. This high-speed op amp (gain bandwidth = 700 MHz) features adjustable supply current and low distortion (THD = −72 dBc at 1 MHz). Packaged in a low-profile (1 mm thick) thermally enhanced MSOP 10-pin package, the LT1969 occupies only 15 mm2 of board space. The wide output swing is ±4.3 V with ±6-V supplies into a 25-Ω load. The two-digit programmability allows the device to be programmed for up to four driver conditions. In 1000-unit quantities, pricing for the LT1969CMS starts at $2.95 each.

High-Speed Line Drivers, Receiver Target CPE ModemsTexas Instruments Inc.(800) 336-5236; www.ti.com.

A family of high-speed line drivers and a high-speed receiver are designed for customer premise equipment (CPE) modems used in ADSL broadband communications. The THS604x/5x/9x ADSL CPE line driver family features low differential output noise for this type of device. According to the company, this family achieves a reduction of up to 40% from earlier solutions. The OPA2822 ADSL line receiver features a very low input noise in a wideband unity-gain stable voltage feedback architecture. The receiver functions as a front end for 14- and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) interfaces for up to 5-MHz signals. The company also says the combination of these devices decreases the overall noise floor of the downstream signal. This generates improved data rates and wider service areas for ADSL modem deployments.

VR Devices Are Replacements For Variable Resistors And Trimmers Analog Devices Inc.(800) ANALOG-D; fax (781) 937-1021; www.analog.com.

The AD5200 and ADS5201 are low-cost, 256- and 33-position digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) devices. According to the company, these devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as potentiometers and trimmers.

Full analog parameter characterization of differential nonlinearity error, total harmonic distortion, noise, and bandwidth assures complete system information for the rheostat, potentiometer-divider mode circuit connections. While the devices offer standard SPI interfaces, end-to-end terminal resistances are available in 10 and 50 kΩ each. Both parts operate on single power supplies from 2.7 to 5.5 V or dual supply ±2.7 V for ground-reference signals.

The AS5200 and AD5201 are priced at $0.90 and $0.68 each in 1000-piece quantities, respectively.

6-A Current Sense Transformers Suit Feedback Control ApplicationsPulse(858) 674-8100; www.pulseeng.com.

The members of the P820xT series of 6-A surface-mount current sense transformers suit the dc-dc converter market. The transformers' applications include feedback control, overload sensing, detecting load-drop, or circuit shutdown. The devices are specifically designed to detect ac current changes and supply an output for control circuitry.

The series is rated for currents up to 6 A. It includes a full range of turns ratios from 1:20 to 1:125 with inductance values from 80 to 3000 µH. The low-profile transformers measure only 0.19 in. high. According to the company, these devices are suited for high-density, low-height dc-dc converter applications. Their flat-top design with the fixed clip makes them compatible with pick-and-place applications. The devices are available in trays or tape-and-reel packaging. In 25,000-unit quantities, the devices cost $0.63 each.

Current-Sense Amplifier Fits In Tiny SC70 PackageMaxim Integrated Products(800) 998-8800; www.maxim-ic.com.

The MAX4073 is a low-cost, precision current-sense amplifier in a small SC70 package. This device uses a small, high-side, external sense resistor. It provides a voltage output proportional to the current being sensed. Internal resistors are trimmed to provide accurate gains of 20, 50, or 100 V/V. The devices feature a typical full-scale accuracy of 0.5%. The input common-mode range is from 2 to 28 V, allowing operation with a variety of batteries and wall-cube chargers. The device's wide 1.8-MHz bandwidth suits it for use inside battery-charger control loops.

The MAX4073 operates from a single 3- to 28-V supply, drawing only 500 µA of quiescent current. The device is specified for operation over the −40°C to 125°C automotive-temperature range. In 2500-unit quantities, the MAX4073 starts at $0.70.

20-Bit Low-Power DAC Features Built-In Headphone AmplifierAKM Semiconductor(408) 436-8580; fax (408) 436-7591; www.akm.com.

The AK4362 is a 20-bit, two-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that offers an independent DAC and analog attenuator. These components provide a monaural output to drive a speaker. The device can function as the playback device while allowing for voice or other analog signals to be passed to the headphone amplifiers or routed to the speaker output. The AK4362 features a third built-in DAC to allow an external speaker amplifier to be controlled independently for volume control and mixing functions. The headphone amplifier circuit has an advanced mute circuit, eliminating the common problem of popping when the power is switched on or off.

The AK4362 is available in a 28-pin QFN package. It costs $3.31 in 10,000-unit quantities.
