Maxim Integrated Products introduces the DS3655, a secure battery-backup controller and supervisor with temperature and voltage monitoring. This is the industry's only ultra-low-power single-chip device to integrate a battery-backup controller, system power monitor, CPU supervisor, elapsed-time counter, temperature sensor, and tamper-detection comparator inputs. The high integration and advanced security features of the DS3655 make it ideal for point-of-sale (POS) terminals, the payment card industry (PCI), software-defined radios (SDRs), and other equipment in which data protection and security is critical.

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the DS4422/DS4424 low-cost, dual-/quad-channel, sink/source current DACs. These I²C-controlled, 7-bit current DACs feature two (DS4422)/four (DS4424) output channels that are specifically designed for power-supply margining and adjustment. Each output channel provides control of a DC-DC power supply by sinking or sourcing current directly into the power supply's feedback node. This control technique allows existing power-supply designs to be margined and adjusted with minimal redesign, thus making the DS4422/DS4424 ideal for servers, video processing cards, and other DC-DC power-supply applications.

Linear Technology announces the LTC3564, a high efficiency, 2.25MHz, synchronous buck regulator that can deliver up to 1.25A of continuous output current from a 2mm x 3mm DFN or ThinSOT package. Using a constant frequency current mode architecture, the LTC3564 operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for Li-Ion battery inputs as well as 3.3V or 5V inputs for point-of-load applications. It can generate output voltages as low as 0.6V, enabling it to power the latest generation of low voltage DSPs and microcontrollers.
