Texas Instruments Incorporated today introduced two configurable analog front ends (AFE) that provide an easy-to-use, modular solution for bridging the gap between the microprocessor and sensor. Design engineers can dramatically reduce their development time by using a single AFE across multiple nondispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor and pH sensor platforms instead of designing several complex discrete solutions.

Texas Instruments has announced a new family of DSPs enabling residential and enterprise femtocell manufacturers and service providers to reduce development time and deliver new products to market quickly. TI’s family of multicore femtocell solutions includes a full portfolio of complementary analog solutions, support for Linux, and software solutions from TI third parties, Continuous Computing and mimoOn. These DSPs provide a complete digi...

Texas Instruments Incorporated has announced a scalable, programmable development ecosystem enabling base station OEMs to support multiple carriers of established and evolving wireless standards from a single platform. Based on TI’s multicore TMS320TCI6487 and TMS320TCI6488 digital signal processors (DSPs) and multi-interface software libraries, the development platform covers all major air interfaces including GSM-EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, TD-SCD...

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the availability of the SH7763 highly integrated microprocessor for sophisticated consumer applications such as high-end audio/video equipment, media servers and set-top-boxes. It is also suits telecom-based designs such as residential gateways, routers and IP-feature phones. In addition, the microprocessor is ideal for migrating designs from industrial PCs (IPC) to deeply embedded hardware. This would achi...

Bristol-based microprocessor start-up XMOS Semiconductor has become the 100th member of the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI), the trade association representing the semiconductor industry in the UK and Ireland.

The SeaPAC R9-8.4 combines a powerful RISC-based embedded computer with a bright 8.4” TFT LCD to create a wide-temperature, ruggedized, flat panel computer perfect for a variety of HMI and control applications. Featuring new LED backlight technology, the system offers an impressive extended operating temperature range of -30° to +70°C with no heaters or cooling fans required.

Microchip Technology has announced that its PIC microcontrollers with nanoWatt XLP eXtreme Low Power Technology have won three global honors. In Europe, XLP received the 2009 Elektra Award in the Semiconductor Product of the Year category. In the U.S., Microchip’s XLP Technology was selected by Wireless Design & Development Magazine as the May 2009 Editor’s Choice Technology Award. In Asia, XLP received a “Leading Product Award” in th...

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the SH7776 (SH-Navi3), a dual-core system-on-chip (SoC) device with on-chip enhanced graphics functions and a high-performance image recognition processing function for the next generation high-performance car information terminals. The device integrates two SH-4A high-performance 32-bit CPU cores on a single chip and achieves a superior processing performance of 1,920 million instructions per second (MIPS)...

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the immediate availability of the SH7780 microprocessor that delivers Pentium-class floating point performance into consumer and industrial markets. The device is ideal for applications requiring high-end graphics and so features a floating point unit (FPU) tailored for that purpose. Furthermore it consumes only 2.5W, is available in a -40 to 85 degree C version, integrates PCI, has a long life time, and ...

Many of today's electronic devices have multiple operating ranges, causing voltage compatibility issues. To address this challenge, Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) 8-bit, auto direction, logic level translator, the FXMA108, resolves compatibility issues in a mixed voltage environment. Its auto-direction feature eliminates the need for a direction control pin, and reduces traces in notebook, smartbook, set-top box and portable medical design...
