Tokyo Electron Device has announced the release of Virtex-5 DDR3/LV-DDR2 SDRAM evaluation platform featuring next-generation high-speed DDR3 SDRAM memory and new LV-DDR2 SDRAM from Elpida Memory.

International Rectifier has launched the AUIRS2003S 200V IC for low- mid- and high-voltage automotive applications including automotive pre-charge switch and stepper drives and DC-DC converters. Qualified to AEC-Q100 standards, the AUIRS2003S is a rugged, flexible high speed power MOSFET driver with dependent high- and low-side referenced output channels tailored for use in harsh automotive environments and under-the-hood applications.

IDT has announced the availability of the latest member of its FemtoClocks family – the FemtoClock Next Generation (NG). This new family of clock synthesisers features very low phase-noise performance and significantly improved power-supply noise rejection, allowing for increased bandwidth when used with serial interfaces.

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the G10899 series of InGaAs PIN photodiodes, featuring a very wide spectral response range of 0.5 to 1.7 µm. Standard InGaAs PIN photodiodes only offer a useful response range from 0.9 to 1.7 µm, with silicon photodiodes being used to cover from 400 nm to 1.1 µm. The new G10899 can provide the end user with the ability to implement only one detector, where in the past they might need two.

Intersil has introduced dual 0.5 Ohm SPST and SPDT switches featuring single supply, negative signal handling, and audio click-and-pop elimination. The combination of features and capabilities makes the ISL54062/63/64/65 series an ideal choice for battery-powered handheld products, consumer audio equipment and portable test/measurement and medical devices.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4099, an autonomous I2C controlled, high efficiency power manager, ideal diode controller and Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger for portable USB powered devices such as media players, digital cameras, PDAs, PNDs and smart phones. Parameters including input current limit, charge current, termination current, and float voltage can be programmed via I2C. The I2C port also allows the user to read back system statu...

Analog Devices is adding to its broad RF portfolio with the announcement today of new integrated RF-to-digital baseband transceivers. The AD9356 and AD9357 integrated transceivers advance low-cost base-station designs and deployments for 4G technology, such as WiMAX and LTE (long term evolution). The deployment of WiMAX continues in both developed and developing nations to provide last-mile connectivity and wireless backhaul channels. As a result...

Altera has announced it has started shipping Arria II GX devices, its third family of 40-nm FPGAs. The Arria II GX family with integrated transceivers joins Stratix IV GX and Stratix IV GT FPGAs and HardCopyIV GX ASICs to extend the industry' broadest portfolio of transceiver FPGA and ASIC solutions.
