SX8650: World’s Lowest Power & Smallest Footprint 4-wire Resistive Touchscreen Controller with 15kV ESD

The SX8650 is an ultra low power 4-wire resistive touchscreen controller optimized for portable equipment where power and board-space are at a premium.

SX1781 High Performance Integer-N Frequency Synthesizer

The SX1781 is a high-performance low noise integer-N frequency synthesizer for wireless communications applications. The circuit embeds a fully integrated PLL (including VCO tank and loop filter), complementary output buffers. The divider and power down settings are programmable via an SPI interface. A Lock Detector pin linked to a squelch function have been designed to ease the software development.
