Ethernet controller from Nu Horizons minimises packet loss
Nu Horizons Electronics has announced availability of the LAN9218i from SMSC. This single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller is designed for high performance embedded applications. Packet loss is reduced or eliminated through the use of 16KByte of internal SRAM that can hold over 200 received packets. If the receive FIFO gets too full, the device automatically generates flow control packets to the remote node, or asserts back-pressure on the remote ...
XMOS chooses CoSy for Software Defined Silicon
XMOS Semiconductor is using the CoSy compiler development system from ACE Associated Compiler Experts in the development of the tool suite for its XCore processor. An event driven, multi-threaded processor, XCore is programmed using C and the XMOS originated XC language, which adds support for parallel processing, event driven control and time-driven programming models.
DSCs provide fixed point affordability and floating point ease-of-use to enable energy-efficient industrial applications
Embedded control engineers prefer the simplified programming provided by floating-point architectures, but are often deterred by the higher cost. Addressing this paradox, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced what is said to be the first fixed-point digital signal controllers (DSCs) that are entirely compatible in hardware and software with high-performance floating-point DSCs. TI’s new TMS320F282x series of DSCs combine the a...
