FreeRTOS is simple to use, with minimal ROM and RAM overhead and is free to use in commercial applications. The modified GPL license under which it is distributed, allows users to deploy in applications without any requirement to share their source code.

NEC Electronics Europe has announced an expansion of its product offering of low-voltage PowerMOSFETs for automotive applications. A new package variant of the popular DPAK package for PowerMOSFETs features electrical properties that previously were provided only by the larger D2PAK (TO-263) package.

NEC has announced that it has developed nine new 32-bit All Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) with built-in Ethernet interface and embedded flash memory. The new products are ideal for remote and supervisory control of industrial devices and building-management systems and include six 128-pin variants, named V850ES/JH3-E and three 144-pin variants, named V850ES/JJ3-E.

NEC Electronics Europe today announced the availability of a new package variant, HSON-8, for low-voltage PowerMOSFETs in automotive applications. The 6.0 mm x 5.2 mm x 1.45 mm HSON-8 package has the same footprint as an SOP-8 package. Compared with a DPAK (TO-252), this reduces mounting space by half, while maintaining the excellent thermal and electrical properties of DPAK packages.

NEC Electronics Europe has announced an expansion of its low-voltage PowerMOSFETs product offering. Based on NEC Electronics’ SuperJunction1 technology, the new products feature an outstanding figure of merit (FOM) and thus minimize switching losses and increase system efficiency.

NEC Electronics has introduced a SoC product that enables camera-equipped mobile phones to provide clear and high-quality images comparable to digital still cameras (DSCs). The new product offers mobile phones to output Full-HD (1080p) video stream and still image data up to 12 Megapixels retrieved by the CMOS sensor. In addition, CE143 also incorporates proven, state-of-the-art image stabilizing and optical compensation technologies that can be ...

NEC LCD Technologies has announced that it will provide samples of its 3.1-inch-diagonal 3D polysilicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) module for the MOBILE3DTV terminal prototype. The MOBILE3DTV prototype will be on public display at the Mobile World Congress 2009 (MWC2009), the world’s largest mobile technologies-related event, in Barcelona February 16–19.

NEC Electronics today introduced a new application-specific standard product (ASSP) based on the company's unique single-frame super-resolution technology which reduces the blurring that occurs when low-resolution images are expanded and displayed in high-resolution. The ASSP sharpens out-of-focus images, smoothes rough edges and refines contours by analyzing and processing information contained in one frame of data in real time. Using standard v...
