Silicon’s crown is under threat: the semiconductor’s days as the king of microchips for computers and smart devices could be numbered, thanks to the development of the smallest transistor ever to be built from a rival material, indium gallium arsenide. The compound transistor, built by a team in MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories, performs well despite being just 22 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in length.

Xilinx today announced it will demonstrate advanced industrial automation applications and technology based on its Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2012 being held in Nuremberg, Germany, November 27-29, 2012.

Kontron today introduced its latest ULP-COM standards-based Computer-on-Modules to help embedded OEMs drive down system costs for ultra-low power SFF solutions. Kontron’s expanded ULP-COM portfolio is designed as a highly scalable building block for the swift and cost-effective development of energy-efficient mobile devices.

Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd announces the ELMM-457SURCB/A3, a high performance, easy to use through-hole dot matrix display driven by packaged IC. Each display can be directly interfaced with a microprocessor. The serial IC interface allows the display of 104 built-in characters and 24 custom user-defined characters in a 5x7 pixel format. The LED sources of this programmable, four digit alphanumeric module display with a flat height of 6.5mm a...

Renesas Electronics today disclosed details of its roadmap for next-generation microcontrollers and microprocessors. Among the new developments, Renesas announced plans to use the company’s 40 nanometer MONOS embedded flash technology with its RX family of high-performance, general-purpose 32-bit MCUs.

Texas Instruments is unveiling several new technology innovations for the industrial market on its booth in Hall 6, stand # 136 at SPS, 27-29 November, Nuremberg - the largest industrial show in the world. These will be featured in working demonstrations including:

RFEL has announced that it has extended its design service and consultancy range to include Xilinx's 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.

Euroquartz has announced the release of two new series of surface mount PECL oscillators offering high performance at a surprisingly low cost. The new HPK5361 and 5761 series PECL oscillators offer ultra-low phase noise of -138dBc/Hz at 10kHz and femtosecond integrated phase jitter (200fs typical).

Green Hills Software has announced that its optimising compilers for ARM Architecture were used by Freescale for published EEMBC CoreMark scores on the Freescale Kinetis K70 90nm microprocessor based on the ARM Cortex-M4. The Kinetis K70’s CoreMark/MHz score of 3.08, running at 150 MHz out of flash, represents the highest CoreMark scores ever published for a Freescale Kinetis microcontroller and exceeds all other published results for competing...

Findings from the 2012 edition of Semicast’s 32/64-bit Microcontrollers & Embedded Microprocessors study show ARM and x86 were the leading architectures in this market in 2011. Revenues for 32/64-bit MCUs and embedded MPUs (eMPUs) are estimated to have grown to USD 9.6 billion in 2011, from USD 8.3 billion in 2010.
