AVX Corporation has developed an advanced varistor designed for general ESD protection use in automotive circuits, including CMOS, bi-polar, and SiGe based systems. The AEC Q200-qualified Automotive StaticGuard Series varistor delivers low capacitance and the lowest specified leakage current available in the industry, ideal for high-speed signal lines. The varistor series provides bi-directional transient voltage protection in the on-state and e...

The global mega trend to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels to bring down transportation related CO2 emissions has pushed the use of an increasing number of alternative fuels. These fuels include bio diesels produced from various ester origins, and fuels with ethanol content (E10+). As the regional strategies to overcome foreign oil dependency vary, modern world cars will need to be prepared for diverse fuel qualities. Continental, the interna...

Atmel Corporation today announced availability of a new ultra-low power AVR microcontroller (MCU) with AES-128 immobilizer protocol stack. The Atmel ATA5790N includes LF immobilizer functionality and a 3D LF receiver in a single 5mm x 7mm package. When combined with the companion device ATA5830 RF transmitter, the Atmel ATA5790N is ideal for high-volume uni- and bi-directional car key fobs for passive entry and passive start systems.

Greenliant Systems has started volume production of its SATA interface NANDrive solid state drives (SSDs). The GLS85LS product family has the same pin-out across all capacities—2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB and higher in the future—which simplifies system-level board design.

Vishay Precision Group, Inc today announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors division (VFR) has introduced a new series of ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Z1-Foil hybrid, surface-mount chip resistors connected using gold wire bonding. The HTH series is designed for high-temperature applications to +240°C and offers improved heat dissipation, providing nearly a 100 °C extension in operating temperature range over precision thin film chip resistors...

Freescale Semiconductor is expanding its broad portfolio of wireless connectivity solutions with the new ultra-low-power, sub-1 gigahertz (GHz) MC12311 smart radio. The feature-rich, cost-effective MC12311 includes software and development tool support, making it a ready-to-go wireless networking solution ideal for smart metering, medical, building and home automation applications.
