Expanding on its industry-leading gallium nitride (GaN) power portfolio, Texas Instruments (TI) announced two new high-speed GaN field-effect transistor (FET) drivers to create more efficient, higher-performing designs in speed-critical applications such as light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and 5G radio-frequency (RF) envelope tracking. The LMG1020 and LMG1210 can deliver switching frequencies of 50 MHz while improving efficiency and enabling five times smaller solution sizes previously not possible with silicon MOSFETs.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced two families of wide-VIN synchronous DC/DC buck regulators with industry-leading electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal performance.

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions, announced the 5 Series MSO Low Profile oscilloscope for machine diagnostics and automated test (ATE) applications. Building on the success of the 5 Series MSO mixed signal oscilloscopes and innovations like FlexChannel™ technology and 12-bit ADCs (analog to digital converters), the new low profile instrument offers a best in class combination of channel density, performance and low-cost per channel at 1 GHz bandwidth that allows researchers and scientists to gather more accurate data and gain deeper insights into their machines while reducing test equipment space requirements.

Texas Instruments unveiled its lowest-cost ultra-low-power MSP430™ microcontrollers (MCUs) for sensing applications. Developers can now implement simple sensing solutions through a variety of integrated mixed-signal features in this family of MSP430 value line sensing MCUs, available for as low as US$0.25 in high volumes. Additions to the family include two new entry-level devices and a new TI LaunchPad™ development kit for quick and easy evaluation.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a new inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) resonant controller with an integrated high-voltage gate driver that enables the industry's lowest standby power, as well as longer system lifetimes.

Texas Instruments (TI), opened the door for developers to implement high-performing DLP display technology with virtually any low-cost processor. The new 0.2-inch DLP2000 chipset and $99 DLP® LightCrafter™ Display 2000 evaluation module (EVM) now make it more affordable to leverage DLP technology and design on-demand, free-form display applications such as mobile smart TVs; pico projectors; digital signage; projection displays for smart homes, smartphones and tablets; and control panels and Internet of Things (IoT) display solutions.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a pair of highly flexible, single-chip buck-boost battery charge controllers for one- to four-cell (1S to 4S) designs. The bq25703A and bq25700A synchronous charge controllers support efficient charging through USB Type-C and other USB ports in end equipment ranging from notebooks and tablets to power banks, drones and smart home applications.

TI combines lowest power loss and highest immunity isolation to help enable more robust, reliable industrial systems.

As brands and developers have been eagerly awaiting a solution that will allow them to create smaller form factor products integrating 1080p projection displays, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) announced its DLP Pico 0.33-inch full-HD chipset. Consisting of the DLP3310 digital micromirror device (DMD) and DLPC3437 controller, this is the industry's smallest 1080p display chip solution with the highest brightness capabilities in the 0.3-inch imager class.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the industry's highest-density, 18-V input, 35-A synchronous DC/DC buck converter, which offers full differential remote-voltage sensing and PMBus to support telemetry. TI's TPS546C23 power converter integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs into a small-footprint package that is significantly denser than competitive devices.
