Happy Thanksgiving to all you analog lovers. Use this time to unwind and stuff yourself silly–being in a food coma makes time with the in laws go by quicker.

This video gives a brief overview of the MCP3901 ADC Evaluation Board for 16-bit MCUs. The board is a complete tool for the evaluation of the MCP3901 analog front end. The video briefly describes the functionality and applications of the MCP3901 which is ideally suited for energy measurement or power monitoring applications. It also shows the main functionality of the board including graphical user interfaces, board connections and included MCU modules.

Restocking? Government stimulus? Actual recovery? Bit of all three? As we speak the Dow has plowed through the 10k mark and Microchip has enjoyed the largest growth in its history. Production is ramping up and if you’re running into long lead times, check with Microchip. Microchip is one of those dedicated companies who have not done any layoffs during the recession, meaning they have the best means for customer support and production flexibility.
A nice addition to Microchip’s LDO line, which once suffered from a lack of high voltage output LDOs. The MCP1804 is a 28V, 150 mA LDO family. The wide input operating voltage range allows the MCP1804 LDO to be used with standard 12V and 24V power rails, and it’s wide output voltage range, available from 1.8V to 18V, provides greater design flexibility. The MCP1804 LDO is ceramic capacitor stable down to the low value of 0.1 μF, allowing for smaller sized ceramic capacitors. This helps to reduce space and cost. Available packages include 3-pin SOT-89 and SOT-223, as well as 5-pin SOT-23 and SOT-89, which feature a shutdown pin to lower current consumption to just 0.01 microamperes.
