National Semiconductor Corp. today introduced its Channel Link III serializer and deserializer (SerDes) family featuring the industry’s first integrated zero-latency, bidirectional control channel. The SerDes deliver clock, high-speed data and a low-speed, bidirectional I2C control bus over a single twisted wire pair. This significantly reduces interconnect size, weight and cost by up to 50 percent for industrial video, imaging and display appl...

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced its MSC8155 digital signal processor (DSP), a higher performance and cost-optimized version of the company’s flagship MSC8156 DSP based on the latest StarCore technology. The MSC8155 includes next-generation acceleration and interconnect technologies that boost overall chip performance and further enhance the capabilities of broadband wireless base station equipment.

Semtech today announced the SX8743, an expansion of its low-power temperature sensing and monitoring platform that can monitor up to four temperature zones in servers, advanced printers, appliances and other complex systems.

SynaptiCAD has released an updated version of VeriLogger Extreme, a compiled-code Verilog simulation and debugging environment, that adds support for encrypted IP models from all the major ASIC/FPGA vendors. VeriLogger supports both binary-encrypted SmartModels based on the common SWIFT-based standard and the more recent encrypted source-code format (sometimes referred to as protected envelopes) added as part of the Verilog-2005 standard.
