The new device, which enables normally-off operations, is capable of achieving roughly one half the figure of merit (FOM) of silicon-based power devices with an equivalent breakdown voltage. W...

Fujitsu and Conitec have today introduced their new MCA-32 Multiboard Adapter production optimisation solution. Due to each board needing to be individually hooked up to the programming unit, then programmed and tested, controller programming often presents a bottle-neck in MCU board production. The MCA-32 Multiboard Adapter permits the simultaneous programming of up to 32 Fujitsu microcontroller boards, with substantial time savings translating ...

Fujitsu Technology Solutions announce a new family of industrial-grade mainboards with LGA1150 sockets for the 4th Gen Intel Core processors. The new product family of the Fujitsu Industrial Series includes one board each with the form factors ATX, μATX, and - for the first time - Mini-ITX, all with an Intel Q87 chipset; as well as a cost-optimised ATX board with an Intel H81 chipset.

Fujitsu Technology Solutions have launched a new family of μATX mainboards with LGA1150 sockets supporting the 4th generation Intel Core processor family. Thanks to their very compact form factor, the boards offer design advantages in both embedded applications and workstations or desktop PCs. While the boards D3220-B, with an Intel B85 chipset, and D3221-B, with an Intel Q85 chipset, are part of Fujitsu’s Classic Desktop Series, aimed a...

Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe today introduced its new FM4 family of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers, which are based on the ARM Cortex-M4F processor core. The MCUs are designed for applications that require advanced, high-speed computing performance – ranging from general-purpose inverters, servomotors, PLCs and other industrial equipment to energy-efficient, inverter-based consumer appliances.

Fujitsu announce the development of a gallium-nitride HEMT-based transceiver module technology that features an output of 10 W and operates at frequencies up to the millimeter-wave band. Until now, developing high-output modules that operate in the millimeter-wave band has required modules consisting of separately packaged components to allow for sufficient heat dissipation. As a result, it has been difficult to produce compact modules.

The Fujitsu Easy DesignSim tool can speed your next design project! The tool is a comprehensive online design simulation and support solution for design engineers working with Fujitsu's power management ICs (PMICs).

Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe today announced the development of MB86R24, the company's third-generation high-performance graphic SoCs for automotive applications. The new product will be made available in sample quantities starting in August 2013, along with the related software.

Fujitsu announce the development of 3D hand gesture recognition technology that, using video captured on a single PC or tablet camera, can detect not only vertical and horizontal hand motion, but also the forward and backward movements of increasing or decreasing distance of a hand from the display.

Fujitsu has introduced a new series of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM CORTEX -M3 processor, expanding the frujitsu FM3 MCU to roughly 500 products in total.
