Maxim launches converter tool to accelerate rapid development of power supply devices
Published2017.09.06 17:15Maxim Integrated Korea has launched the 'EE-Sim DC-DC Converter Tool,' which supports the rapid development of high-quality power supply devices.
Powerful development tools are necessary to save time and resources during power design. Power designers can use the EE-Sim DC-DC Converter Tool to develop and simulate complex circuits more easily. Novice designers can complete designs in just a few minutes, while professional designers can visualize and control simulation parameters at an advanced level.
The EE-Sim DC-DC Converter Tool recalibrates circuits according to components changed by the designer and compares and evaluates differences between designs. As a best-in-class waveform viewer, it allows users to explore simulation results and perform customized design, and can be utilized bidirectionally. The simple interface eliminates the need for training in customized design.
Load, source, and simulator parameters can also be easily modified. It is possible to simulate or modify designs that have undergone hardware testing in both online and offline environments. Custom graphs can be saved and circuit diagrams annotated and revised, making documentation work straightforward.
Mark Fortunato, EE-Sim Team Manager at Maxim Integrated, stated, "Maxim's DC-DC Converter Tool provides expert-level functionality such as easy design modifications, performance comparisons across multiple designs, and extensive simulation customization. Thanks to the intuitive interface, novice designers can also use it with ease," and added, "The DC-DC Converter Tool supports realistic and practical design by providing excellent functionality for verifying circuit operation and backing engineers' high confidence in the final results."

Maxim Unveils Power Management Semiconductor Reduced by Half
Maxim Integrated Korea announced new power management semiconductors (PMICs) 'MAX77650' and 'MAX77651'. The two products can enhance battery life and efficiency in size-constrained wearable and hearable devices such as smart clothing and watches, Bluetooth headphones, and activity monitors. As the form factor of wearable and hearable devices continues to shrink, component miniaturization has emerged as a critical consideration. Most small-form-factor PMICs operating on lithium-ion batteries require current regulators such as boost, buck, LDO (Low Dropout) regulators, chargers, and LED indicators. Maxim integrated all of these functions into a compact power solution measuring 19.2mm² or less—half the size of existing solutions—thereby saving space and improving efficiency.

Maxim Launches Buck Converter Providing Low Standby Current for USB Type-C Devices
Maxim Integrated Korea has launched the MAX77756, a buck converter that provides flexible options with 24V, 500mA, and low standby current for multi-cell USB Type-C products requiring high current, dual input, and I2C support. USB Type-C products detect USB insertion by generating a constant 3.3V power rail. Utilizing a power supply in the 5-20V voltage range, the MAX77756 uses a step-down converter to generate always-on power (1.8V/3.3V/5.0V) digital supply rails for port controllers. The MAX77756 reduces standby power consumption while operating continuously through its low standby current of 20μA. The MAX77756 features an ideal dual-input diode ORing circuit that allows external USB power to be supplied to the input stage to drive the chip when the battery has no remaining charge, which simplifies system design.

Simplifying the head unit can solve signal loss and power issues.
The practice of listening to music or radio in cars has continued from the past until now, but the form of the head unit has gradually changed. From cassette tapes to CDs and MP3s, as audio sources transitioned from physical media formats, head units became simplified. To support such systems in automobiles, cables weighing tens of kilograms are required. Cable routing is often done manually, which is time-consuming and costly. Automotive radios have up to 6 cables connected depending on the car model and the band functions supported. As head units become simplified, the amount of cable required can be reduced, thereby saving space and reducing heat dissipation. To reduce the amount of cabling, Maxim Integrated has proposed a "remote tuner solution." The remote tuner architecture serializes the output of a radio tuner located near the antenna using GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) through a single cable. The single cable transmits not only the desired channel but also control signals (I2C) through the back channel of the GMSL link and supplies power to the remote tuner.
