The subsystem includes the ADC16DV160 A/D converter, LMH6517 DVGA and LMK04031B precision clock conditioner. 54 W (200 W peak) Audio Amplifier Power Supply http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140406121.html?nid=3376 Dual-rail power supply with high loop bandwidth and peak power for home theater systems with up to 650 watts audio power rating. NAS reference design http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140379465.html?nid=3376 AppliedMicro Advanced NAS reference design features Power Architecture processing, comprehensive, hardware-software platform,industry-leading performance and advanced system design to embedded developers QF-Audio Dragon Docking Station Reference Design http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140347785.html?nid=3376 The Quickfilter QF-Audio Dragon docking station reference design contains all the required electronics necessary to implement a high quality, low-cost docking station. Development kit for Bluetooth stereo headsets http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140340289.html?nid=3376 Offers quick, cost-effective designing of stereo headsets and wireless speakers. Provides exceptional Bluetooth audio performance with integrated stereo CODEC with 95 dB SNR. Supports SBC and MP3 decoding for improved audio quality on music playback. Enables over 10 hrs of music playback from 180 mAh battery. Efficiency, Conserving Space in Consumer Applications http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140331246.html?nid=3376 200W DC-DC power supply reference design is an optimal tool for simplifying design, increasing efficiency and conserving space in consumer applications. Achieves 94 percent efficiency and noise reduction while protecting circuitry. Monaco http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140303398.html?nid=3376 The Monaco platform is the first 10GbE OEM switch to offer lossless fabric switching, allowing Ethernet switch manufacturers to deliver Ethernet throughout the data center that can carry storage, clustering and networking traffic. Bluetooth remote control development kit http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140295682.html?nid=3376 BlueCore TouchLITE enables Bluetooth remote control for navigation systems, in-car multimedia devices and MP3 players. Line of sight NOT required; range up to 30 meters, supports Bluetooth v2.1. Ambient Light Adaptive LED Driver http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140292948.html?nid=3376 Automatically adjust display brightness for changing ambient light conditions to provide a more viewable display with better contrast. The LED driver’s PWM dimming dims or brightens the display backlight in response to ambient light conditions, increasing battery life. A photodiode circuit measures ambient light and provides a signal for dimming the LEDs. High-efficiency Portable Music Player Dock http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140292955.html?nid=3376 Showcasing PowerWise® power converters, battery-charging circuitry, audio drivers and display interface circuits, this design initiates a power-saving mode when the PMP is unplugged from the wall power, automatically reducing the maximum brightness of the display as well as the output power of the audio drivers. Load-detecting Power Supply http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140292975.html?nid=3376 Reduce wasted energy from inefficient AC/DC wall adapters that run even without a load. This design utilizes SMPS technology instead of linear regulators to drastically improve conversion efficiency. Additional circuitry "wakes up" the power supply only when a load is applied, reducing losses to just tens of milliwatts. CCFL to LED Conversion Power Supply http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140292979.html?nid=3376 Replace backlight cold cathode fluorescent (CCFLs) tubes with strings of LEDs for lower power consumption, better durability, smaller size, and brighter light that is more easily custom tailored to compensate for changes in ambient light. High-Performance SerDes Module with Easy FPGA Interface and Cable Detect http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140292986.html?nid=3376 National partnered with Avnet to implement a high-speed, power-saving serial interface for low-cost FPGAs. National’s FPGA-Link SerDes combines high-speed data transfer flexibility with features such as automatic power down on loss of cable or input signal. The included FPGA firmware monitors this cable/signal loss indicator from the SerDes to turn off unnecessary system logic and other external components. DVPB-HD http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140263515.html?nid=3376 eInfochips' DVPB-HD is a rapid prototyping board based on TI TMS320DM6467 DaVinci™ Technology. DVPB-HD is a small form factor board and is ideal for prototyping applications based on DaVinci™ Technology. MSP-Mojo: QF1D512 SavFIRe (Simple and versatile FIR engine) Target Board for MSP-eZ430U http://www.edn.com/refDesign/2140235890.html?nid=3376 Quickfilter Technologies development tool speeds precision digital filtering implementation for MSP430 microcontroller-based designs. MSP-Mojo target board for eZ430 development tools replaces need for more complex processors.
