Alpha Micro Components has available Teridian Semiconductor's new MicroPHY transceiver for embedded 10/100 Ethernet applications. Packaged in an ultra small 5mm x 5mm QFN package, the Teridian MicroPHY is said to be the World's smallest Fast Ethernet PHY. Targeted at consumer audio-video and industrial products the 78Q2123 features Hewlett Packard's "Auto-MDIX" technology whilst also providing a full 802.3 Media Independent Interface.

STMicroelectronics has unveiled its new integrated RF synthesizers with embedded voltage-controlled oscillators, featuring what is said to be the lowest integrated phase noise and the largest band coverage on the market.

Focus EDL and Metalink will be giving live demonstrations of the capability of its new WANPlus chipset at “The Wireless Event” at London’s Olympia on May 16 and 17. The demonstration will show, for the first time, advanced WiFi technology used to demonstrate the delivery of high-definition television over wireless LAN at wire line quality.

Available from Low Power Radio Solutions are Circuit Design’s latest Class 1 wireless modules for industrial use. The CDP-TX02E-R and CDP-RX-02E-R transmitter and receiver are R&TTE and RoHS compliant, narrow band, multi-channel modules.

The new Micronix PV-1800 from Datasound Laboratories is a GPRS/GSM modem on PC/104 architecture complete with an integrated 20W power supply, isolated 12-bit A/D inputs and digital I/O making it a very unique and low-cost solution for remote data logging and control.

Low Power Radio Solutions has announced the introduction of the Airwave audio/video wireless RF modules. The modules operate on the most popular 2.4GHz ISM band and are FCC and R&TTE compliant, making them suitable for worldwide use.

The Tsi578™ Serial RapidIO switch from Tundra Semiconductor increases the data throughput of next- generation communication infrastructure platforms, including ATCA® and MicroATCA™ applications. Complying with V1.3, the most recent version, of the Serial RapidIO Interconnect Specification, the switch is said ti set new standards in scalability and power economy.

Replacing two devices with a single cost-effective, flexible solution, the Micrel KS8842M from Solid Sate Supplies is the industry’s first 2-port Ethernet device, with a third port that can be connected directly to microprocessors through a generic 8-or 16-bit bus interface.

Focus EDL announces a series of xDSL integrated low-pass splitter/filter modules which have been designed to achieve excellent voice quality by separating voice and data signals and filtering interference out of the data signals in xDSL applications.

Low Power Radio Solutions has announced its CDT-TX-01 transmitter and CDT-RX-01 receiver modules designed for applications requiring wireless transmission of switching signals.
