Toshiba Corporation, reinforcing its leadership in the development and fabrication of powerful, high density NAND flash memory, has announced the introduction of 16Gb (2 gigabyte) and 8Gb (1 gigabyte) NAND flash memory, fabricated with cutting-edge 56-nanometer process technology co-developed with SanDisk Corporation.

Accent S.p.A, has announced that it has entered into a technology licensing agreement with ARM for the ARM7TMI-S, the ARM926EJ-S and the ARM1136J-S synthesisable processors, as well as a range of PrimeCell peripherals and Physical IP technology. The agreement will see Accent focus on the use of ARM processors for all new design projects realised for fabless and chipless IC customers requiring a core licence through Accent.

Catalyst Semiconductor has launched three new families of voltage supervisors with the industry’s broadest selection of embedded memory. The CAT130xx supervisor family offers 1-, 4-, 8- and 16-kbit embedded EEPROM with Microwire serial interface. The CAT140xx and CAT150xx provide 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-kbit embedded EEPROM with I2C and SPI serial interface protocols, respectively.

CoWare and Tenison Design Automation Inc., a company focused on delivering ESL tools that synthesize C++ and SystemC models from hardware designs described in Verilog or VHDL, jointly announced significant enhancements to the two companies' integrated design flow. These enhancements will accelerate the creation of virtual hardware platforms for architectural exploration and software development. The new flow enables the synthesis of the CoWare ...

SynQor has extended its range of sixteenth brick dc/dc converters by now offering isolated outputs of 5V/12A and 1.8V/25A, with up to 60W of usable power in a 1.17in2 footprint. Using the DOSA standard pinout and footprint, the sixteenth brick footprint uses 43% less board space than eighth brick converters.

Analog Devices has introduced a zero-drift, digitally-programmable instrumentation amplifier (in-amp). Rated over an extended industrial temperature range, the AD8231 is suited for a variety of sensors, including resistance temperature detectors, thermocouples and automotive pressure sensors, in harsh environments where minute signal variations must be accurately detected in the presence of large common-mode voltages.

Vicor has announced the availability of a range of 52 Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) Customer Evaluation and Validation Boards, featuring BCM, PRM and VTM V•I Chip power components. In addition Vicor has created an expanding library of V•I Chip application notes to support the implementation of power system designs. The introduction of the evaluation boards and application note library provides a quick and easy way to get an appreciati...

New from RF and microwave component specialist Link Microtek are three series of miniature electromechanical RF switches that have been designed for use in 1-slot VXIbus modules and other applications where space is restricted.

Silicon Laboratories has announced the extension of its broadcast audio product portfolio to include the Si473x AM/FM receiver family. The Si473x enables an AM/FM receiver to be easily added to consumer devices such as clock and portable radios, home stereos, MP3 players, docking stations and mobile handsets.

A new low voltage 2 and 4 way link box for connecting and switching underground low voltage cables has recently been introduced by B&H, part of Tyco Electronics - Energy Products division. A patented modular assembly integrates single resin casting, snap-fit terminal cover, diving bell lid, and pit enclosure. This new modular concept significantly reduces the weight and size of the new link boxes, making them easier to install in areas where spac...
