MP3 Decoder Under 6 MHz is a first says Tensilica
Tensilica has announced that it has optimized the MP3 decoder for its Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine and Diamond Standard 330HiFi processor core. This MP3 decoder now runs at the lowest power and is the most efficient in the industry says Tensilica, requiring just 5.7 MHz when running at 128Kbps, 44.1 KHz and dissipating 0.45 mW in TSMC’s 65nm LP process (including memories). This makes Tensilica’s Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine ideal for adding MP3 ...

USB 2.0 multiplexer reduces connectors and improves cradle functionality in portable devices
Intersil has introduced the ISL54200 USB 2.0 high/full speed multiplexer. With a wider supply voltage range, higher bandwidth and better insertion loss characteristics than the competition, the device provides the most flexible high performance solution for interfacing USB and non-USB portable devices. The flexibility of the ISL54200 comes from its ability to switch between data sources having different data speeds and signal levels, and to out...

GPS antenna operates from 1.8 to 6 Vdc
CTi Ltd, the specialist antennae manufacturer, has launched an innovative active GPS antenna that operates from any voltage in the range 1.8 to 6 Vdc. Known as GPS-UNI, the new antenna is believed to be the first in the industry that is capable of operating from such a low voltage - most competitive products on the market require at least 3.3 V. The antenna is particularly suitable for automatic vehicle location and tracking applications; its ver...
