Cirrus Logic's CS300X Family of Operational Amplifiers Named to EDN Magazine's List of Hot 100 Products.AUSTIN, Texas -- The editors of EDN Magazine recently culled through hundreds of new products introduced in 2006 in their quest to identify the hottest new products. When it came to analog ICs, Cirrus Logic's (Nasdaq:CRUS crus (krus) pl. cru´ra [L.] 1. leg (1). 2. a leglike part. crus ce´rebri ) CS3003 operational amplifier operational amplifier, amplifier whose output voltage is proportional to the negative of its input voltage and that boosts the amplitude of an input signal many times, i.e., has a very high gain. stood out amongst the competition, earning it a place in the magazine's list of Hot 100 product for 2006. Cirrus Logic's CS3003 single-channel operational amplifier was one of five products within the analog IC category to be named to the Hot 100 list. The CS3003, which targets industrial measurement applications such as temperature/safety monitoring and industrial process controllers, is noteworthy for its dramatically higher measurement accuracy compared to competing op amp solutions. "We're thrilled that the CS3003 was selected to EDN Magazine's Hot 100 listing," said John Paulos, vice president and general manager, Cirrus Logic's Industrial Products Division. "Often within the signal path of many industrial and scientific instrument applications the operational amplifier is what limits the overall performance of the circuit. The CS3003 offers a superior combination of high gain and low errors that yields exceptional accuracy, making it a uniquely effective problem solver in applications performing the highest-precision measurements." "EDN editors cover an amazingly broad technology base and see compelling products across the spectrum throughout the year," states Editor in Chief Maury Wright. "The Hot 100 highlights the best of the products from our feature and new-product articles and web coverage over the course of the year. From components to processors to test instruments, each of these 100 stands out in the crowd." The CS3003 offers superior accuracy in high-resolution measurement applications, noted by its exceptionally low 13 nanoVolt -per-root-Hertz noise performance and open-loop gain The open-loop gain of an operational amplifier is the gain obtained when no feedback is used in the circuit. Open loop gain is usually exceedingly high; in fact, an ideal operational amplifier has infinite open-loop gain. of 140 dB. Other members of the family offer noise as low as 6 nanoVolt-per-root-Hertz, and gain as high as 200 dB. Operating from a single or bipolar power supply of 2.7 V to 5 V (plus/minus +/a 1.35V to plus/minus 2.5V), power consumption is an impressive 1000 microamperes per amplifier. In addition to the popular small-outline eight-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. package, the CS3003 is available in a new leadless 4 x 4 mm leadless QFN QFN Quad Flat No-Lead QFN Queen Fan Newsletter (rock band) QFN Quad Flat No Leads package. The CS3003 is part of a larger family of products, which includes the single-channel CS3004 and the dual-channel CS3013/14. The CS3013/14 feature low power consumption, which is an important feature for new generations of battery-powered portable instruments and personal monitoring applications such as gas safety detectors.

Cirrus Logic (company) Cirrus Logic - A manufacturer of integrated circuits including the Advanced RISC Machine and display interface processors and cards for use as Windows accelerators (requiring dedicated driver software). http://cirrus.com/. Inc. Cirrus Logic develops high-precision analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits A mixed-signal integrated circuit combines analog circuits with digital signal processing (DSP) circuits on a single semiconductor die. An integrated circuit that includes both analog and digital circuitry (but no DSP), like a 555 timer, is generally not considered a mixed-signal for a broad range of consumer and industrial markets. Building on its diverse analog mixed-signal patent portfolio, Cirrus Logic delivers highly optimized products for consumer and commercial audio, automotive entertainment and industrial applications. The company operates from headquarters in Austin, Texas, with offices in Europe, Japan and Asia. More information about Cirrus Logic is available at www.cirrus.com.
