Full-Speed USB Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter SeriesIndustry’s Fastest UART Series with USB 2.0 Compliant Bus InterfaceThe XR21V1410 (V1410), XR21V1412 (V1412), and XR21V1414 (V1414) are enhanced 1-channel, 2-channel and 4-channel Universal Asynchronous ReceiverandTransmitter(UART)withaUSBinterface.TheUSBinterfaceisfullycomplianttoFullSpeedUSB2.0specificationthatsupports12Mbps USB data transfer rate.

The USB interface also supports USB suspend, resume and remote wakeup operations. The V141x operates from an internal 48MHz clock therefore no external crystal/oscillator is required like previous generation UARTs. With the fractional baud rate generator, any baud rate can accurately be generated using the internal 48MHz clock. The large 128-byte TX FIFO and 384-byte RX FIFO of the V141x helps to optimize the overalldata throughput forvariousapplications.TheAutomaticTransceiverDirectioncontrol featuresimplifiesboth thehardwareandsoftwarefor half-duplexRS-485applications.Themultidrop (9-bit)modewith automatichalf-duplex transceiver control feature further simplifies typicalmultidrop RS-485 applications.

The V141x operates from a single 2.97 to 3.63 volt power supply and has 5V tolerant inputs. Virtual COM port drivers for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and CE, as well as Linux and Mac are supported for the XR21V1410, XR21V1412 and XR21V1414.

LTC2175-14 - 14-Bit, 125Msps Low Power Quad ADCsDissipate one-third the power of competing ADCs The LTC®2175-14/2174-14/2173-14 are 4-channel, simultaneous sampling

14-bit A/D converters designed for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic

range signals. They are perfect for demanding communications applications

with AC performance that includes 73.1dB SNR and 88dB spurious free

dynamic range (SFDR). Ultralow jitter of 0.15psRMS allows undersampling

of IF frequencies with excellent noise performance.

DC specs include ±1LSB INL (typ), ±0.3LSB DNL (typ) and no missing

codes over temperature. The transition noise is a low 1.2LSBRMS.

The digital outputs are serial LVDS to minimize the number of data lines.

Each channel outputs two bits at a time (2-lane mode). At lower sampling

rates there is a one bit per channel option (1-lane mode). The LVDS drivers

have optional internal termination and adjustable output levels to ensure

clean signal integrity.

The ENC+ and ENC– inputs may be driven differentially or single-ended

with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS inputs. An internal clock duty

cycle stabilizer allows high performance at full speed for a wide range of

clock duty cycles.

e GN1406 and GN1407 - Redriver and Retimer Solutions for PCIe Signals across Backplanes and CablesExtend the reach of PCI Express®

PCIe signals running at 2.5Gb/s, 5.0Gb/s and 8.0Gb/s (Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 respectively) impose tight constraints on systems and PCB design. Generally speaking, the higher the data rate the shorter the distance a good quality signal can be transmitted. To compensate for signal attenuation loss and allow trace lengths to be extended, signal conditioning is required in the data path to adjust signal levels using equalization and de-emphasis techniques. This is where PCIe re-drivers and retimers play an integral part of any system utilizing PCIe data transport across cables and backplanes. Even at Gen1 data rates today, going beyond 18 inches of backplane traces becomes very challenging and at Gen2 data rates these re-drivers/retimers become a must.

Gennum’s PCIe Redrivers/Retimers – GN1406 & GN1407 Key Features

Supports x1 and x4 of PCIe channels at Gen1 and Gen2 data rates 19 programmable input equalization settings help to overcome limitations of CATx cabling that create high losses and crosstalk due to lack of shielding Offers transmitter de-emphasis up to 20dB in 0.5dB digital steps Offers 26 programmable output amplitude swings from 0 to 1250mV peak to peak Typical input voltage sensitivity of 40mV differential peak to peak Low jitter and the ability to adjust the amplitude via I2C control Support for spread spectrum clocking and ultra fast electrical idle entry and exit Up to 8 programmable LOS settings allows electrical idle preservation to be properly met The retimer rejects any crosstalk induced jitter - extends the reach in both cable and backplane Reducesjitteronreceivesideofanyincomingparallelfiberopticmodulesbeforebeingfedintothe system FPGA/ASICs. 1.2V and 1.8V supply voltages Extended temperature range of -40 to +85 deg.C Package is 56 pin QFN (8x8mm) Typical power consumption of 100mW per channel with equalization and retiming (GN1406) Bit error free performance across long cables (30m) and pcb backplane traces up to 60 inches GN1406officiallylistedasPCIe2.0compliant GN1407 has all the same features of the GN1406 with the exception of: Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 data rates supported No Retimer present so lower power and lower cost No output de-emphasis supported No need for external reference clock Reaches 30m of PCIe cable, 5m of CATx cable and 60 inches of FR4 backplane traces Typical power consumption is 70mW per channel so 280mW for all four channels switching (no retiming)

Integrated LED drivers (LDS6120)TheLDS6120productsintegrateafeaturerich,highlyconfigurableLEDdriver,enabling the implementation of visual feedback for touch-based controls and fun lighting effects using a single controller. The minimum and maximum current, transition times and desired effect are programmable on an individual LED basis, allowing for customized LED behavior for individual buttons. LEDs may be either synchronized to automatically trigger when a touch event occurs or manually controlled using the host processor.

Ideal solution for portable and “green” applicationsThe LDS6100/6120 is optimized for ultra-low power consumption. In full power mode, sensor conversion and calibration occur continuously, minimizing the time between touch event and touch detection. With its ultra-low touch sensor current consumption of <70 μA (typical @1.8V), the LDS6100 products may be operated continuously in full power mode, eliminating the need for introduced latencies that can cause noticeable delays and degrade the user experience. Where power consumption is of the utmost importance, low power modes withconfigurablelatenciesmaybeutilizedtofurtherreducepowerbelow25μA.

The LDS6100/6120 family is optimized for a minimized solution footprint, with the functionality of multiple components consolidated into a single device and a bare minimum of required external passive components. A variety of package options are available including a 4mm x 4mm 28 lead TQFN package, a 5mm x 5mm 40 lead TQFN package (both with 0.75mm package thickness), or a 5.3mm x 10.2mm SSOP package for applications requiring a wider lead pitch.
