apparently Analog bought Maxim recently

huh

kind of sad that a lot of iconic electronic companies are now subsidiaries of other companies

like fairchild is now owned by onsemi, LT is now owned by Analog, burr-brown is now owned by TI, international rectifier is now owned by infineon,...

especially bad that Linear used to have some of the best datasheets anyone ever made, and Analog's just aren't the same

at least they did keep the old Linear ones

Some of Analog's still rock. I used this chip a few years ago and its datasheet kicked total ass. analog.com/en/products/ad9739.

@Felthry

Lots of things. DOCSIS to your cable modem, for one. Cell towers, satalite communications, etc...

Can run it in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd nyquist, too, and get out usable signals to 3.75GHz with the right filters.

@zetasyanthis DDS stuff I guess? Not too familiar with communications stuff
