Maxim showcases portable equipment, communications solutions @ Mobile World Congress

Maxim Integrated Products showcased its integrated portable equipment and communications solutions for mobile platforms, at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The company hosted nine demo kiosks with solutions for consumer and RF/communications applications.

Some of the products demonstrated at the event are:

Consumer Applications

# The MAXQ614, a low-power MAXQ 16-bit microcontroller with infrared (IR) module, designed for very small applications such as smartphones and tablets. Available in 2mm x 2mm x .65mm, 25-ball wafer-level package (WLP), it shrinks solution size by 70% compared to previous solutions. The product includes 80KB of flash memory and 2KB of data SRAM for applications flexibility.

# The MAX98096 integrates Maxim's FlexSound processor, which supports a plug-in-capable audio framework. With low power consumption and advanced audio signal processing, this single-chip audio solution supports wideband voice, including noise cancellation and echo suppression, in a wide range of portable applications.

# The MAX21000, 3-axis, digital-output gyroscope that delivers unprecedented sensitivity over temperature and time. It offers low noise, high bandwidth, and a high-speed interface and is suitable for both user interface (UI) and optical image stabilization (OIS) applications.

RF/Communications Applications

# The MAX2580, a LTE/3G small cell RF transceiver that supports all major cellular bands. This solution requires very few external components to execute an all-band, multimode, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radio design.
