ABC Wary Of EPA Expansion Of Lead Program To Commercial Buildings

ABC News,Politics & Policy,Regulations,GA-Energy & Environment
ABC July 6 responded to an advance notice of proposed rulemaking by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that could eventually expand the agency's
Lead-Safe Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) program
to include commercial and public buildings.
The notice announced that the agency is considering imposing Lead-Safe requirements on non-residential buildings, and is seeking information on lead-based paint hazards that may be created by commercial renovations to determine whether regulations should be issued. EPA will determine whether to promulgate a rule by December 2011. If the agency does proceed with a rulemaking, it plans to have the requirements finalized by July 2013, with implementation likely to begin on or before July 2014.
As part of a coalition with 14 other organizations,
ABC filed comments
with the EPA cautioning the agency does not have authority to implement the rule. In the comments, the coalition pointed out that the statute under which EPA would issue the rule grants the authority to issue guidelines for work practice standards but not the authority to impose regulatory requirements concerning those practices.
In addition, the coalition noted that the regulations exceed EPA's authority because public and commercial buildings may present very different patterns of exposure to lead-based paint than in residential settings, which could result in different hazard types. Since EPA acknowledged in the notice of proposed rulemaking that it does not have enough information to determine this because it is relying on old and unrelated studies, the coalition urged EPA to conduct a Congressionally mandated comprehensive study that is a prerequisite for imposing the rule before taking any regulatory action.
"Indeed, the many questions concerning the extent to which RRP activities in commercial and public buildings actually present lead-based paint hazards and the potential consequences of any regulations strongly suggest that the Agency should continue to seek the input of key stakeholders such as the Coalition's members as this rulemaking proceeds," the comments stated.
The coalition also pointed out that EPA does not have information on the prevalence of lead-based paint in commercial buildings and has not convened a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to determine the economic impact on the substantial number of small entities that would be affected by the rule.

By Gabrielle. Tattly with glittery sparkles, designed with love by Bekka Palmer.
When Addie sent me her birth story, she did so as sort of a favor. Or maybe it's best described as a returned favor. You see, the birth stories posted on Design Mom over the years helped her through both of her own pregnancies and births, and so she hoped that hers would do the same for others. So sweet! And also exactly why I keep publishing these shared experiences: one story – perhaps even Addie's – might be the very thing a new, nervous, nine month and counting mom needs to read this very minute.
Babies will keep on coming. And while every birth is break-the-mold unique, chances are there's another woman who has been through something similar. I love the thought that she might very well come here and browse through our Growing A Family series. So welcome, Addie, and a huge thank you to you and all who keep sharing their hearts with the rest of us!
It was November of 2012 when we decided to try again for a second baby. Sawyer was now two years and two months old and we weren't getting any younger, so as we decided to give it a go…which it turns out is much less exciting the second time! Counting days on calendars and willing yourself to make a baby while your older one is fighting a fever goes against every motherly instinct.
When we decided to try for baby two, we also decided the housing market couldn't get any better and listed our wonderful little Cape Cod on an urban street, trading up for a brand new build in a better school district. As the months ticked by and we waited for you to be made and waited for the house to be listed and we waited for our house to be built, we tried to be patient and grateful. As March turned to April, the house was listed. The same week we got an offer on the house was the same week we found out we were having you. What was an exciting time was also a very difficult time for me. Between working full time, loving a toddler who did not understand why we were moving, actually moving, and growing a human — I felt empty and used up some days and depressed with nowhere to turn. What was supposed to be a happy time was all of a sudden difficult for reasons I couldn't understand, and all the while I worried that I wasn't concentrating enough on my baby inside.
As moving day approached, I finally decided in my heart that I didn't want the last few days in our wonderful old home to be sad — they needed to be filled with joy — so we did what everyone does when the world feels like it is moving too fast: we threw a party. And then, as June was turning to July, we received the keys to our new home and immediately took on what in hindsight was the enormous undertaking of making a brand new house feel like home.
Between work and parenting and the moving and unpacking and nesting you grew — you grew big and strong and brave. I kept promising you when you were in my belly that I would slow down and hug you tight once you arrived. As summer turned to fall and fall turned to winter, we started to gather what we needed to take you home with us, and as your due date came and went an eviction notice was served on 12/14/13. The early morning hours of the the 14th were quiet, still, and snowy. As we approached the hospital I grew with excitement knowing that soon we would meet you — we didn't know if you were a boy or a girl, and I was so curious about what you would look like.
As I was checked in and readied for induction the nurse casually asked if my blood pressure had been high at all during my pregnancy — it had not — and mentioned that we would be keeping an eye on it during the day. As the clock hit 6:30 am and the Pitocin was started and the Foley bulb was filled, I was anxious as to what the day would bring; would you come slow or fast, would it be painful, would it be easy? My blood pressure stayed stable but high, and I was finally 5 cm. The Foley bulb was deflated, your bag of water was broken, and the epidural was administered. At 3:00 pm I was checked again. Only 6 cm, but I remember the nurse saying she thought you would be here by 5:30 pm. I just laughed, as your brother took 2 days of labor to come! At 3:30 pm I began to feel immense pressure — pressure that even an epidural could not take away — and 45 minutes later I was 10 cm dilated. Your dad was telling me to breathe, I was telling him I couldn't breathe, and my body was actually pushing you out without me even trying.
The doctor readied for delivery, and I became more confident in getting you out. With a lot of pressure (and thankfully not a lot of pain), you were easily delivered at 5:12 pm. At once you looked familiar — a mop of dark hair ready to be styled — and you were a BOY, another son to love as only a momma can. After you were born and taken away to be checked I realized that I was not feeling great. I was shaking, and drained. That's when I realized that the bleeding hadn't stopped and that my blood pressure was now alarmingly high.
As the minutes ticked by I learned that you were eight pounds, 10 ounces and SO pink. The bleeding did stop after three extra bags of Pitocin, and your father held you tight while I tried to lie quietly to lower my blood pressure. After a few hours of rest, we were finally moved to postpartum where you received your bath and your brother met you for the first time. Seeing him meet you was one of the most amazing and unexpected gifts I didn't anticipate. As evening turned to night and family went home, I received word that I was headed back up to labor and delivery for a 12-hour magnesium drip as I had developed pre-eclampsia postpartum – something I had never anticipated nor heard of.
What I thought was going to be the most difficult part of birth experience turned out to be the easy part. It was the recovery — though not from tearing or stitches as anticipated — that took weeks and months. After an extra night in the hospital I was sent home on blood pressure medicine and my own cuff, and the woman I thought I would quickly see return took months to emerge. Between taking care of an infant that was much different than baby one, and a three year old to love, coupled with the holidays in the midst of it all and two cases of mastitis, my vision of what this time would look like was not realized immediately.
Finding myself and healing took longer than I could have ever dreamed, but in the midst of it all I learned to lean hard on this wonderful husband of mine. I grew a heart that had love for two little boys, and I finally started to be gentle with myself — something I tell your three year old brother daily. We named you Atticus, a name that some say is a bit big for a small boy, but I knew the moment I looked you in the eyes and said your name that it was for you. You, my baby boy, are so strong and patient and you are everything we never knew we needed. And as promised, we hug you tight and you are always willing to hug back. We are the lucky ones.
Thank you , Addie! I'm sure Atticus will love to read his story someday. I found myself nodding when you wrote that what you thought would be the most difficult part of your birth experience wasn't remotely difficult! And how the part you imagined breezing through was more of a challenge. That's always the way, isn't it? This was a good reminder that no matter how you painstakingly craft the perfect birth plan, something always comes up to add some spice into the story! Thank you again for sharing yourself with us all.

20 February 2009
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has welcomed results from the Joint Coordinated System Plan (JCSP) study concluding that an investment in the power grid to enable 20% wind would save consumers US$12 billion annually, recovering capital costs in as little as seven years while making the power grid more reliable.
The study also found that the need for new coal-fired, baseload power plants would be cut in half under the wind and transmission scenario. Moreover, the reliability of the power grid would be enhanced, reducing the likelihood of events such as blackouts.
Although the study did not calculate job creation or economic development benefits of the wind and transmission scenario, other studies like the Department of Energy's (DoE) 20% Wind Energy by 2030 report have shown that obtaining 20% of the nation's electricity from wind power would create over 500,000 jobs and generate US$80bn per year in economic activity.

The customer reviews on Amazon are positive overall, but there were a few points raised.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with anyone else and it can easily be rectified with a small touch up.
Other customers said, "After almost two weeks the thermostat has done a great job learning our habits." and, "The display is big and pretty and turns on when I approach the unit." And finally, "I've seen a noticeable drop in my energy bill in the month that I've had it installed." This makes it very easy for me to recommend the Next Learning Thermostat as well.

Dublin West TD and Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar has welcomed the Government's announcement of extra Special Needs Assistants which will benefit a number of schools in the area.
Just some of the schools which will receive more SNAs include:
• Hansfield Educate Together Secondary School – 1 extra SNA
• Coolmine Community School – 3 extra SNAs
• Corduff National School – 0.5 extra SNAs
• Hansfield Educate Together National School – c.1 extra SNA
"This is a very important announcement for our schools in Dublin West and shows that the Government continues to invest in education, after years of neglect by previous Fianna Fáil administrations," Minister Varadkar said.
"Fine Gael continues to provide extra resources for schools, education and services in Dublin 15, to match the needs of the growing community. The additional 860 SNAs allocated across Ireland represent a 7% increase in number of SNAs nationally. We are determined that our recovering economy should benefit everyone in society by promoting an enterprise economy, making work pay, investing in public services, ensuring fair play and a fair go for everyone.
"These SNA positions will be available for allocation between September to December. So this is good news for children, but also good news for local people training to become an SNA who will be looking for a job.
"I was very pleased to hear also that the Government plans to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the SNA scheme under the National Council for Special Education. This will be aimed at providing better outcomes for students with special educational needs and to ensure that we are making the best form of additional investment for children with special needs.
"Fine Gael in Government is determined to ensure our recovering economy will pay dividends for all, particularly the most vulnerable people in society. This is why it is so important that we invest wisely in our children's futures. This announcement reflects the Programme for Government commitment to ensure that all children with special needs can maximise their potential."
The NCSE will notify schools in Dublin West of their SNA allocations for the coming 2016/17 school year and will publish details of these allocations on their website www.ncse.ie.

Sunlight is the source of life on Earth, but we may not be aware of all the ways it benefits us. Our bodies manufacture vitamin D-3 when the skin is exposed to UV radiation from sunlight, but the ability to do so decreases as we age.
Vitamin D-3 maintains healthy calcium and phosphorus levels in the body for strong bones; it increases muscle strength in older adults; and it also plays an active role in a healthy immune response. Vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) is the optimal form of vitamin D. It is the form of vitamin D that the body manufactures in sunlight, and the form most efficient for the body's needs including an important role in regulating cell growth, insulin levels, and bone formation.
New research indicates that our modern indoor lifestyles may lead to a widespread increase in Vitamin D deficiency. Nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" because the body makes it naturally when exposed to the sun, scientists are discovering that vitamin D-3 is an important hormone precursor that helps support the immune system and helps regulate the health of at least 20 different tissues, including the brain and joints.
Vitamin D-3 also plays an important role in regulating cell growth, insulin levels, and bone formation. Researchers are finding that the current recommended daily allowances of Vitamin D — ranging from 200 international units for infants, children and adults up to age 50 years; 400 IU for men and women from 50 to 70; and 600 IU for people older than 70 — may be far lower than what is necessary for optimum health.
Vitamin D-3 addresses seven of the twelve metabolic systems of the body, systems crucial to vibrant health. For example:
Vitamin D insufficiency may be quite common in places far from the equator and researchers estimate that 50% of Americans may have less Vitamin D than they need. Today's teens also have less exposure to direct sunlight and have switched from drinking Vitamin D fortified milk to soda. Puberty is a very critical time when up to half of a person's adult bone mass is being deposited, and Vitamin D helps ensure that people have normal blood levels of calcium for this important process. New research estimates that 30 percent of adolescents nationwide may be Vitamin D deficient.
People of African descent require up to 30 minutes sun exposure three times weekly during summer on the face, arms, and hands, while very fair-skinned Caucasian people require 5-10 minutes. African-Americans have the highest risk for Vitamin D deficiency because dark skin needs 5 to 10 times more sunlight than Caucasian skin to produce the same amount of the vitamin. One study found that 42 percent of African-American women in the U.S. were Vitamin D deficient.
While the use of sunscreen is imperative for skin health, sunscreen that is sun protection factor 8 (SPF 8) or greater blocks 95% of the UVB light needed for the skin to synthesize Vitamin D.
Older adults may also be at particularly high risk: After age 50 the requirement for Vitamin D doubles because the body is less able to make its own vitamin D. In a report in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in February 2004, researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland showed that elderly women who took a Vitamin D supplement plus calcium for three months reduced their risk of falling by 49% compared with consuming calcium alone. Those women who had fallen repeatedly in the past seemed to gain the most benefit from Vitamin D.
An exciting study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that Vitamin D may be a key player in helping to manage fibroid tumors.
NIH says, "In previous research, the study authors found that vitamin D inhibited the growth of human fibroid cells in laboratory cultures." This is great news for women of childbearing age because this could provide, "a promising new lead in the search for non-surgical treatment of fibroids that doesn't [negatively] affect fertility."†
Read more in our blog Research Points to Vitamin D to Help Shrink Fibroid Tumors.
Vitamin D research is an emerging area of interest for scientists, who have yet to understand the many roles of this important vitamin in the body. While Vitamin D's main function is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, it also serves as a hormone precursor. Once it has been converted into its active form, it can enter a cell, cross the nuclear membrane, attach to specific receptors on the DNA or its protein wrapping, and promote cell differentiation.† Vitamin D is one of the body's many control systems, acting like an emergency brake to stop cells from perilously misbehaving.†
Vitamin D as an Immune Booster. Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps regulate hundreds of genes, including those involving the body's innate immunity and its defenses during the winter and spring seasons.
Vitamin D and Bone Health. It is estimated that over 25 million adults in the United States have, or are at risk of developing, weakened bones as they age. Having normal storage levels of vitamin D in the body helps keep bones strong, especially in elderly, non-ambulatory individuals, and postmenopausal women.
Vitamin D and Blood Pressure. Scientists noticed that blood pressure levels vary with the season—they tend to be highest during autumn and lower during the warmer months of spring and summer.
Researchers studied people's blood pressure and the levels of Vitamin D in their blood and discovered a connection between higher Vitamin D levels and decreased blood pressure. The body controls blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin system, with high renin levels leading to increased blood pressure. Cutting edge research has shown that Vitamin D regulates renin levels through genetics, which may be the critical way in which it supports cardiovascular health.

Now that the #BlogsOfAugust challenge from Mike Elgan is over, I wanted to share my five key takeaways from that experience.
I've also included thoughts from other #BlogsOfAugust participants who shared their experiences on what surprised them the most about blogging on the 'Plus.
The surprisingly fast pace at which you get followers. G+ is blooming right now! Daniel Montesinos
The single most surprising thing for me was the level of engagement on Google+ versus Blogger. I got more comments on my G+ entries in a single month than I think I've received on Blogger … ever Mike Jenkinson
On Google+, the interactivity between author and audience is so dynamic that the original post is often just a trigger to a larger discussion—that is, the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it. M. Sinclair Stevens
I was surprised how helpful the other bloggers are and how much I can learn from them. Silvan Rehan
It's easy to blog on Google+! I stopped worrying about formatting, SEO, linking, photos, etc., and just started having fun. Frank Mease
The single most surprising thing to me has been the level of engagement with my posts. This has far exceeded my expectations based on experiences with other blogging platforms. It's been so promising that our company is planning to begin blogging on G+. Tim Bain
Google also announced a new Google+ feature that allows you to embed a Google+ post into your blog. I'm excited about this as I was already intending to cross post between my blog and Google+ and this will make it easier. Below I've embedded the Mike Elgan Google+ post that has more comments from the #BlogsOfAugust challenge participants (including yours truly) about their month blogging on Google+.

I know, I know. I can't believe it either but the holiday season is officially in full swing. Before you know it your house will be filled with hungry friends and family, and if they're anything like mine they'll be banging their knives and forks on your dining table demanding sustenance. What? That never happens to you? Regardless, you don't want to forget the drinks!
To pair with your favorite holiday fare, consider Rioja wines. Hailing from North-Central Spain, Rioja refers to the wine as well as the region it comes from. Made mainly from the Tempranillo grape, Rioja wines are one of only two D.O.C regions in Spain and all Rioja wines are always regulated so you can be sure you are buying a quality bottle every time. Why Rioja wine when there is Burgundy's Pinot Noir or Piedmont's Barbaresco? It's simple. Rioja wines are versatile and affordable. You don't have to break the bank on wine for your holiday dinner and no need to stress out about ten different bottles of wine to pair with each course. Choose from juicy rosado wines, crisp blancos, or elegant reds ranging from lighter to robust with spice.
A seductive glass of a Reserva Rioja wine is a perfect blend of soft fruits, leathery undertones, and subtle black pepper spice. Reservas offer notes of dark fruits like plums and dried cherries. These wines are ideal with tender, slow roasted game meats and flavorful, hearty beef dishes. The fruits and cracked pepper hints of the wine are a perfect match with the herbal rosemary and garlic that becomes caramelized with this roast as it cooks. Its earthier tones are also a delicious fit with the mushroom and pan glaze that this holiday star is served with.
Wow your dinner guests with this aromatic rosemary and garlic roast that is so simple to make and complete with a beautiful presentation paired with Rioja Reserva wines.
- 3# Rib Eye roast
- about ¼ cup Fresh rosemary, chopped, or other favorite herbs
- about ¼ cup Garlic, chopped
- Salt, pepper, to taste
- 4 cups of a variety of Mushrooms, sliced to about the same size
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 cup of stock
- Tie meat.
- Preheat to 350F
- Season meat with salt and pepper.
- Heat up a skillet with cooking oil and sear all side of the meat.
- Mix together rosemary and garlic.
- Coat the meat with herb-garlic mixture.
- Roast in the preheated oven until medium-rare, about 20 minutes.
- Saute the mushrooms with butter until cooked through and then season with salt and pepper.
- Remove meat from the skillet it was cooked in and bring the pan to the stovetop. Add stock to the pan and deglaze the pan, being sure to scrape the bits on the bottom. Allow to simmer until thick.
- Add the mushrooms to the sauce and serve the roast sliced with accompanying mushroom sauce. Garnish serving platter with fresh rosemary if desired.

Fixing A Bad Credit Score
The entire world has been struggling with a bad economy for some time now. Perhaps you are among the many people struggling to stay above water, financially speaking. One factor all people must consider when evaluating their overall financial health and/or when thinking about how to get out of financial trouble is their credit score. If you have been seeking specific ways to improve your credit score, you may want to read this article which spells out one specific method that people can use to boost their credit scores.
Pay bills on time each and every month. This is a critical step for boosting your credit score. If you never pay your bills late, this will go a very long way toward safeguarding your overall financial health in general and your credit score in particular. An additional benefit of paying your bills on time every single month is that you will not be compelled to pay any late fees, which of course are an added financial burden that nobody needs. If you are seeking tips about how to deal with a bad credit score, you will want to read this article for some general advice. Of course, if you are really struggling, you will also want to consult a skilled, experienced financial advisor.
Limit the number of credit cards and/or credit lines that you have at any one time. In fact, if you can limit yourself to having only one credit card, this is ideal. It simplifies your bill paying process. When you only have one credit card to pay off each month (along with your other monthly bills, such as utilities, rent or mortgage, etc.), it becomes much easier to pay in a timely matter and to keep track of your spending.
Charge as little as you can on your credit card(s). The less you pay for with credit the better. Any bills you can pay off completely and with cash, the better. After all the less you charge, the lower your credit card bills will be and the easier they will be to pay off each month in a timely manner.
Taking control of one's financial well-being is important for everyone. Spending less is key to any solid financial plan. The less frivolous spending you do on items and services you do not really need, the better. Focus on spending only on necessities and rule out purchasing needless luxury items most of the time.

Guiomar Evans, Michael Figueiredo, João Goes - Springer
This book shows that digitally assisted analog to digital converters are not the only way to cope with poor analog performance caused by technology scaling. It describes various analog design techniques that enhance the area and power efficiency without employing any type of digital calibration circuitry. These techniques consist of self-biasing for PVT enhancement, inverter-based design for improved speed/power ratio, gain-of-two obtained by voltage sum instead of charge redistribution, and current-mode reference shifting instead of voltage reference shifting. Together, these techniques allow enhancing the area and power efficiency of the main building blocks of a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) based stage, namely, the flash quantizer, the amplifier, and the switched capacitor network of the MDAC. Complementing the theoretical analyses of the various techniques, a power efficient operational transconductance amplifier is implemented and experimentally characterized. Furthermore, a medium-low resolution reference-free high-speed time-interleaved pipeline ADC employing all mentioned design techniques and circuits is presented, implemented and experimentally characterized. This ADC is said to be reference-free because it precludes any reference voltage, therefore saving power and area, as reference circuits are not necessary. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the techniques which enabled the implementation of area and power efficient circuits.

Our standard priming is provided via one of our two vacuum coater primers with infra-red ovens. The moulding is fed into system. The moulding passes through a profiled template, which is custom cut to match the profile being primed, and enters the paint chamber. The paint chamber, which is constantly flooded with primer, is the smallest part of the machine and is less than 24" in length. As the moulding exits the paint chamber it passes through a second profiled template as a vacuum draws off the excess paint. As a result all 4 sides of the moulding are coated in a consistent layer of primer. The moulding then feeds through the infra-red dryer. As the moulding exits the far end of machine it is dry and ready for packaging. The whole process primes a piece of moulding and dries the piece in well under a minute's time. After a single prime coat 1 dry mil of primer is left on the moulding, which is equivalent with AWI Economy Grade Priming.
While our standard priming operation provides a prime coat, which meets a majority of customers needs, for an additional fee we can buff, sometimes called de-nibbing, the surface. Buffing is accomplished by passing the moulding through a separate machine which uses special heads made of sandpaper and brushes to scuff the surface. Buffing typically removes the slight grain raise that can occur, as well as smooth the primed surface slightly, but does not expose raw wood. Priming and Buffing a moulding leave less than 1 dry mil of primer on the moulding, which is equivalent to AWI Custom Grade Priming. For customers' that require high end prime coatings we can prime the moulding a second time after buffing. Mouldings that are Primed, Buffed and Primed have 2 dry mils of primer on them, and are equivalent with AWI Premium Grade Priming.
Our standard primer, which is white, is a specially formulated coating designed to be applied on bare wood, bonding with the substrate and providing a uniform surface for the topcoat to adhere to. It also acts as a sealer, forcing evaporation as designed and preventing solvents from the topcoat from soaking into the wood. While the primer is a water based acrylic latex it is designed to accept both water based and solvent based (oil/alkyd) top coats. Both interior and exterior primers are available. The exterior option contains both a mildewcide and stain blockers to prevent tannins and other compounds from the wood from leaching through the prime coat.
The capacity of the of our vacuum coater primers is 1/4" to 3" in thickness and 1/2" up to 11-3/4" in width.

MAXIM Integrated Products, represented by Arrow Electronics , has introduced a state-of-the-art, high-performance family of pin-compatible 12-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit analogue-to-digital data converters (ADCs).
The 8-bit and 10-bit ADCs are available in speed grades up to 250Msps while the 12-bit ADC is initially available at a speed of 170Msps.
This family of high-performance ADCs includes the MAX1213 (12-bit, 170Msps), MAX1122 (10-bit, 170Msps), MAX1123 (10-bit, 210Msps), MAX1124 (10-bit, 250Msps), and MAX1121 (8-bit, 250Msps).
These converters offer exceptional dynamic performance at high input frequencies. They provide unmatched dynamic performance, including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and intermodulation distortion (IMD). They consume the lowest power in the industry.
The 12-bit MAX1213 offers a SNR of 65.5dB that remains flat (within 1.5dB) up to 250MHz input frequency. The MAX1213 also has an industry-leading noise power ratio (NPR) of 62dB, which is better than the closest competitor by 3dB and consumes 30% less power.
At the 10-bit level, the MAX1123 delivers an exceptional SNR of 57.5dB that remains flat (within 1.5dB) up to 500MHz input frequency, more than 2dB higher than the competition.
This performance is even more remarkable given the low power consumption of less than 500mW at sample rates up to 250Msps.
At the 8-bit level, the MAX1121 delivers a SNR of 48.8dB, and a SFDR of 68dBc. Differential nonlinearity is similarly impressive at +0.1LSB.
The combination of high-IF dynamic performance and high sample rate allows the user to select receiver architectures that can sample large bandwidths while eliminating intermediate, RF downconversion stages. This design flexibility reduces system cost and complexity, and saves board space.
The MAX1213/MAX1122/MAX1123/MAX1124/MAX1121 are ideal for applications such as cable and cellular infrastructures, broadband-communication systems, instrumentation, and high-performance video equipment.
These devices are available in a space-saving 68-pin QFN-EP package specified for the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.

Modular home construction finds new fans around region
Instead of taking years, a dream house can go up in months. Financing often comes easier than traditional construction, and buyers know exactly what to expect in their new homes.
Modular construction can be used for homes of a range of sizes and prices, and its popularity continues to grow around southwestern Connecticut.
Roughly 92,900 manufactured homes were produced at about 120 plants nationwide last year, according to estimates by the Manufactured Housing Institute of Arlington, Va. This was nearly 11,000 more units than in 2016 for a 14 percent increase.
MHI estimates that manufactured housing constituted 9 percent of newly constructed single-family homes in 2017, with about half of the units comprised of multisection modules.
In 2016, the state Department of Transportation estimated that 240 modular homes were shipped into or through Connecticut that year, largely from a dozen factories in Pennsylvania.
Business owners and builders say they expect to see plenty more to come from the market in southwestern Connecticut.
Rise in demand
David Dillman, a home consultant and designer with Westchester Modular Homes of Fairfield County, said demand for modular homes is up about 20 percent over the last few years. Much of that is related to fires and other disasters — the company is still working on several Hurricane Sandy replacements — although demand in general is steadily climbing.
"The cost of building materials is rising, so modular is a way to help people rein in costs," he said.
Joe Enright, vice president of Westchester Modular Homes, based in Bethel, said the buying power behind his company allows it to control costs.
"We're able to commit to pricing because we pre-buy," he said. "The price is not going to change. That's a real advantage for modular right now."
Paul Scalzo, president of Westchester Modular Homes, said banks are quick to finance modular homes because they go up faster than traditional construction.
Dillman said lower Fairfield County is a traditionally strong market for his company, which recently opened a Stamford office to go along with the head office in Bethel and another new office in Wellesley, Mass. While upscale colonials are the most popular style, the company has built homes from 800 up to 5,000 square feet, Scalzo said.
"People are building homes that are more efficient," Enright said. "They used to build all these McMansions, but now instead of cavernous, they want a cozier house now."
Buyer appeal
That kind of flexibility in design is one of the many draws to going the modular home route, according to Jim Hines, owner of Westport Modular Builders. The Westport-based business is a full-service modular home dealer and designer, and constructs homes for clients throughout Fairfield County.
Hines' clients, like other modular home businesses, are looking to build a home for themselves from scratch and to their liking rather than choosing from houses already on the market. Along with customizing their design, the Westport resident said the process behind the build adds to the appeal.
"The more educated people become on homes, the better it is," Hines said. "These homes are built in a factory just like a car, so all the material is out of the weather; it's all dry. It's constructed in an environment that is quality controlled that has professionals doing the same job every day. It has to be built strong enough to travel down the highway, so they are stronger-built homes."
While homes are being built in the factory, sites can be prepared simultaneously, making the building process quicker than in with traditional stick-built homes. Modular units can be completed within three to four months, Hines said.
Realtors are in
Marlene Fischer, of Shelton-based William Raveis, she has found the modular market to be interesting for homeowners looking to sell.
"On the sales side, especially if they are at higher price points, people are nervous. Sometimes the sellers are nervous that the people who are buying will feel it's not custom enough, but actually they do really well. They do really well on inspection, and a lot of times you would never know that it is a modular until you get to the inspection."
Fischer said she sold two properties in the past year that were modular homes that left clients satisfied.
In the right situation, Fischer described said a modular home buildout is a great opportunity for people to get their homes faster.
That has also captured the attention of some clients of Greenwich realtor Mark Pruner at Berkshire Hathaway N.E. Properties.
Pruner saw minimal downside to prebuilts aside from them being tough to modify once they're locked together, but few people want to modify them.
"If there's something that works for you, you can save a significant portion over stick-built," Pruner said.
This article has been updated to clarify the data used from the MHI.
