Diodes Incorporated unveils a family of single gate logic devices designed to save power and space in a broad range of portable consumer electronic products, including cell phones, e-readers and tablet computers. Manufactured on a 3V advanced ultra low-power CMOS process, the 74AUP1G logic is pin compatible with industry-standard parts while offering a package height advantage through its miniature DFN package options.

M/A-COM Tech has today announced the release of a new High Voltage CMOS Driver for PIN diodes for use in military and commercial radio applications. The MADR-010574 is designed to work with M/A-COM Tech’s high power and high voltage PIN diodes. This driver supports series-shunt and all-series diode designs by biasing four diodes simultaneously.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. announced today a new Transmit/Receive module Driver IC which provides 6-Bit serial/parallel logic control and T/R switch control for multifunction T/R modules. The MADR-010410 is an efficient CMOS driver and ideal for logic control of GaAs based T/R modules as well as a 6-Bit S/P driver for attenuators or phase shifters.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation today announced the immediate availability of its low cost, low power MachXO2 family of programmable logic devices (PLD) in a new 32 QFN (Quad Flatpack No-leads) package. Since the MachXO2 family's production release in 2011, customers worldwide have taken advantage of its innovative combination of ease-of-use, flexibility, system integration and affordability.

Achronix Semiconductor Corp. today announced the details of the Speedster22i HD and HP product families, the first FPGAs to be built on 22-nm process technology. Speedster22i FPGAs are the industry’s only application targeted, high-end FPGAs and consume half the power at half the cost of high-end, 28-nm FPGAs.

Diodes Incorporated has expanded its low-voltage CMOS (LVC) general–purpose logic family, beyond single- and dual-gate products, with the addition of 10 popular functions in 14-pin TSSOP packages. The new 74LVCxx logic ICs are designed for a broad range of computing applications including desktop and notebook PCs, computer peripherals like hard-disk and optical drives, networking equipment such as routers and hubs, as well as an array of consum...

Microsemi Corporation today announced that its radiation tolerant RT ProASIC 3 family of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is now available in a ceramic quad flat pack (CQFP) package. CQFP packages comply with time-tested and flight-proven circuit board and assembly techniques. In addition, ceramic withstands extreme operating temperatures, which makes it an ideal material for demanding space applications.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation today announced the immediate availability of Low Power, High Speed, and Mini Package additions to the highly successful LatticeECP3 FPGA family. The new value added devices are ideal for power and space limited applications in professional cameras, surveillance cameras, medical imaging, video communication, and small-form-factor wireline and wireless appliances.

KaiSemi Ltd., a fabless semiconductor vendor, and Apex Electronics, a New-Zealand based electronics components distributor, announced that they will launch KaiSemi’s “Zero NRE” automated FPGA-to-ASIC replacement solution in Australia and New Zealand on September 14th, 2011.
