Texas Instruments has announced a tool for designing embedded systems that combines ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers with wireless communications. At the low cost of $49, TI’s new eZ430-RF2500 development tool, packaged in a convenient USB stick form factor, offers two radio frequency -enabled microcontroller target boards and a PC debugging interface that may be used to develop stand-alone wireless projects. Developers will now find i...

Zetex Semiconductors has added a pair of low voltage PNP transistors to its low saturation high current SOT23FF transistor range. With the footprint of the standard SOT23 package but with a reduced off board height of less than 1mm, the ZXTP25020CFF and ZXTP19020DFF will suit a range of slimline portable product designs.

Anglia has announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Telegesis, which produces ZigBee modules based around both Ember and STMicroelectronics chips. The Telegesis modules are designed to meet the needs of engineers who need the functionality of ZigBee but lack the resources or expertise to develop chip level solutions, and of those requiring a fast track to market.
