Texas Instruments Incorporated today unveiled the industry’s first implementation of the real-time HD JPEG 2000 codec on a multicore digital signal processor (DSP). Four TI TMS320C6678 multicore DSPs with JPEG 2000 codecs are available on TI’s design network member, Advantech’s, new DSPC-8681E half-length PCI express card, making it ideal for processing intensive, power efficient applications in industries such as broadcast and digital cine...

Microsemi Corporation today announced its SmartFusion customizable system-on-chip (cSoC) devices are now fully screened to meet stringent military operating temperatures ranging from -55 degrees C to 125 degrees C. The devices feature an integrated ARM Cortex-M3-based processor and are fully tested for operation at military temperature ranges, targeting applications where ensuring high-reliability performance is critical.

Eurotech today announces the launch of SekuPLATE, a new family of IP-based License Plate Recognition Systems that target demanding security and surveillance applications where intelligent association of vehicles and permission rights is needed. Based on cutting-edge recognition algorithms, SekuPLATE delivers top-notch reliability plate recognition systems, that dramatically minimize detection failures.

In SMT electronic assembly production, 3-D SPI has established itself as the additional inspection gate to complement optical or X-ray inspection. The key task is detecting impermissible printed pads in terms of volume, form, smearing and offset. In addition to providing defect detection, the Viscom 3-D SPI can accomplish much more. The SPI-AOI-Uplink function links paste inspection and post-reflow inspection results for both easy and effective ...

The single chip processor enters Dialog’s VoIP portfolio as its flagship product and integrates hardware blocks for best-in-class audio, security and graphics functionality. The SC14453 has been created for mid and high end desktop phones and extends Dialog’s portfolio - alongside Dialog’s SC14452 and SC14461 - of award winning Green VoIP ICs, which...

Enabling new functionalities in microcontroller applications, including crystal clear audio with playback and recording capabilities, Texas Instruments Incorporated today introduced the C5000 ultra-low-power digital signal processor (DSP)-based Audio Capacitive Touch BoosterPack. This new Audio Capacitive Touch BoosterPack (430Boost-C55audio1) is a plug-in board for the $4.30 MSP430 LaunchPad development kit.

Eurotech today announces the launch of SekuFACE, a new family of IP-based Biometric Face Recognition Systems that target demanding security applications where intelligent association of personal identity and permission rights is needed. Based on biometric mapping of face images and their automatic validation against the ICAO standard (ISO/IEC 19794-5), SekuFACE systems dramatically simplify compliancy and privacy issues, while providing at the s...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2955 pushbutton on/off controller that manages 1.5V to 36V system power via a pushbutton interface or the presence of a supply. Unlike typical pushbutton controllers that initiate system power-ups only with the toggle of a pushbutton, the LTC2955 automatically turns on a system when power is applied from a primary or secondary supply, such as a wall adapter or car battery.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. announced today at the OFC/NFOEC Trade Show, a portfolio of 100G modulator drivers for line-side and client-side applications. The MAOM-002204 is an integrated 4 channel 28G EML driver solution for CFP2, with very low power consumption and packaged in a small size SMD. It is also available in a single channel as MAOM-002203.

Designed for rapid masking of electronic components and assemblies, the new Ultra-Light Weld 9-20479-B from Intertronics provides protection from reflow or wave soldering processes and shields no-go areas during conformal coating application. This easily dispensed mask enables accurate placement and cures in seconds to maximize production throughput with the highest levels of quality.
