RFEL has announced that it has extended its design service and consultancy range to include Xilinx’ new Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC. This merges together a mature and powerful ARM multicore processing system with the latest, high speed, Xilinx 28nm FPGA programmable logic into a single chip.

CoreCommander for FPGAs, from JTAG Technologies, offers a generic solution based on VHDL code that allows engineers to bridge from the standard JTAG test and programming port (TAP) to proprietary IP cores (e.g. DDR controllers, E-net MAC, USB controllers etc.) and harness them for test purposes.

Green Hills Software have revealed today that the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium has adopted the Green Hills Software DoubleCheck static analysis tool to help ensure the highest level of quality for its new floating point benchmark suite – FPMark – that targets single and double precision floating point. EEMBC has used DoubleCheck in the past and will continue using it in the future as part of its validation process.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc is broadening its optoelectronics portfolio with the release of two new series of 4-pin, low input current optocouplers with phototransistor output. The devices feature low DC input currents of 1 mA (VOS618A) and 5 mA (VOS617A) and are offered in the compact SSOP-4 mini-flat package, which saves more than 60 % of board space compared with a DIP-4 package.

Lattice Semiconductor unveil the iCE40 LP384 FPGA, the smallest member of its expanding iCE40 family of ultra-low density FPGAs. Enabling designers to rapidly add new features and differentiate cost-sensitive, space-constrained, low-power products, the new small footprint FPGA is ideal for applications such as portable medical monitors, smartphones, digital cameras, eReaders, and compact embedded systems.

Evolving energy legislation, paralleled by the need to regulate energy costs and improve efficiency, is boosting the uptake of micro electric drives. These trends will be reinforced by technological changes and advances in the networking capabilities of micro electric drives. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the Micro Electric Drives Market in Europe, finds that the market earned revenues of $516.8 million in 2012 and estimates thi...

Atmel Corporation has today announced that the company will be showcasing a variety of smart, connected applications from the lab environment to the digital living room at Embedded World 2013 held in Nuremberg, Germany, February 26-28, 2013.

Linear Technology introduces the LTM8001, a step-down µModule regulator consisting of an array of five low noise 1A linear regulators. The linear regulators are also configurable to deliver 2A, 3A, 4A or 5A, depending on the number and combination of current shared outputs. Housed in a 15mm x 15mm x 3.42mm ball grid array package, the LTM8001 provides high efficiency conversion from an input source, ranging from 6V to 36V, by powering the five l...

A new breakthrough could push the limits of the miniaturization of electronic components further than previously thought possible. A team at the Laboratoire d’Analyse et d’Architecture des Systèmes (LAAS–CNRS, Toulouse) and Institut d’Électronique, de Microélectronique et de Nanotechnologie (IEMN, CNRS / University of Lille 1 / University of Valenciennes and HainautCambresis / Isen) has built a nanometric transistor that displays excep...

The Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET) has officially announced the ratification of the new SMARC Computer-on-Modules specification. Kontron played the leading role in the development of the specification which had the working title ULP-COM. This new Smart Mobility ARChitecture for ARM/SoC-based extremely compressed Computer-on-Modules was approved within a short time frame.
