SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 15, 2010 –Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will demonstrate how new advanced measurement applications embedded in the Agilent N9030A PXA signal analyzer are used to test radio frequency (RF) transmitters. The demonstrations will take place at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The advanced measurement applications test a variety of signal standards in cellular communication and digital video. Signal standards include LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, W-CDMA/HSPA/HSPA+, DVB-T/H and ISDB-T.

For LTE FDD and TDD, the N9080A and N9082A applications enable one-button testing that simplifies … Read More → "Agilent Technologies Extends PXA Signal Analyzer with Embedded LTE and HSPA+ Measurement Applications"

MILPITAS, CA – February 17, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC3860, a dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with multiphase operation, differential output voltage sensing and high frequency operation. This controller works in conjunction with external power train devices such as Power Blocks and DrMOS, as well as discrete N-channel MOSFETs and associated gate drivers, enabling flexible design configurations. Up to 12 phases can be paralleled and clocked out-of-phase to minimize input and output filtering for very high current requirements (up to 300A). Applications include high current power distribution and industrial systems, DSP and ASIC supplies.
