CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Protect USB Ports Against ESD with Industry's Lowest Clamping Voltage
Semtech RailClamp® series features a range of ultra low capacitance and low clamping TVS arrays designed to offer maximum protection for your USB 1.1, 2.0, or OTG ports without degrading the integrity of your signal.

Printed Circuit Board Protection Design Guidelines (Application Note)
PCB layout is a critical component for circuit board protection and ESD immunity. A sound PCB layout will save costly debugging and rework. This application note provides PCB design guidelines for optimum ESD protection.

WIRELESS AND SENSING

Semtech Debuts Industry’s First Integrated RF, Acquisition and Processing Platform
The SX128x platform combines dual UHF-band ISM transceivers, a CoolRISC® MCU, and a variable 10 to16-bit ZoomingADC™ (analog-to-digital converter), to deliver a single-chip solution that can operate from a single 1-volt battery cell. This high level of integration reduces BoM costs and saves board space by replacing up to three other devices.

New Semtech Wireless Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) Product Guide with Application Note Summary
Semtech’s latest wireless Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) portfolio features state of the art highly integrated solutions offering the world’s highest link budget transceiver through to the lowest RX current of any UHF transceiver.
