When there is no room for software execution because the chip does not embed any core, cryptography in hardware is the only solution. This situation is typical with consumer products where costs are under pressure and security is not a selling advantage. In fact, this is where and how...
Various configurations are available for the Digital Potentiometers. They are very easy to integrate due to their small sizes and easy accessibility. Maxim also provides a broad range of products for Fiber monitoring and control markets.
Abstract: This application note discusses hardware design techniques to build monocolour and bicolour graphic message boards using the MAX6952 and MAX6953 SPI™ and I²C 5x7 matrix LED display drivers.
Maxim has been named a finalist in two categories for UBM Electronics’ 2012 ACE Awards (Annual Creativity in Electronics): "Company of the Year" and "Energy Technology of the Year" (MAX17710). Maxim’s achievements in 2011, qualifying it as an ACE Awards "Company of the Year" finalist:...
Abstract: Switching power supplies offer higher efficiency than traditional linear power supplies. They can step-up, step-down, and invert. Some designs can isolate output voltage from the input. This article outlines the different types of switching regulators used in DC-DC conversio...
Button looks like an oversized coin cell battery (Figure 1 ). Instead of the positive and negative pole of a battery, it has a data contact (the lid) and a ground-reference contact (the body). These two contacts are all that is needed for digital communication using the 1-Wire® protoc...
So where does the attacker look next? The communication channel. To date, most of the dialog on smart grid security has focused on the communication channel, and most systems deployed today use strong cryptographic technology to protect the data and commands while in transit between s...
The MAX2141 complete low-power receiver is designed for XM satellite radio applications. To form a complete XM radio, the MAX2141 requires only an active antenna module, a crystal, and a SAW filter. The small number of external components needed makes the MAX2141 platform the lowest c...
