Sunnyvale, Calif. — Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a series of low-power logarithmic amplifiers that control RF power amplifiers and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), and detect RF power ...
Lots of division, square-root, or squaring operations often require multiple clock cycles to execute—which engineers would like to avoid in their designs. A ...
