Renesas Technology Europe has announced two new microprocessors in the SH-Mobile series for application processing targeting digital TV capable mobile phones. The SH-MobileL3V2 and SH-MobileUL incorporate a high-performance, low-power multi-CODEC video processing IP from Renesas. Both devices support MPEG-4, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) encoding & decoding and VC-1 decoding, achieving 30 fps (frame per second) performance at VGA definition.

Texas Instruments has introduced 150-mA, low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) with dual-level voltage output for MSP430 microcontroller-based, battery-powered devices. Consuming the lowest quiescent current in the industry at 500-nanoAmps, the LDO’s voltage select (VSET) pin gives designers the ability to switch between two voltage levels to customize and cut power consumption in half during operation.

Wireless solutions developer Radiometrix has announced the introduction of the CXT / CXR module family. This transmitter/receiver pair provides a complete remote control switch function in a module format, delivering reliable, long range operation in situations where existing wide band solutions cannot offer adequate range, or where band congestion requires multiple channel operation.

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX16056-MAX16059, ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuits that monitor a single system supply voltage. These devices consume an industry-low 125nA supply current to extend battery life in power-sensitive applications.

With the release of the FD025664 green monochrome OLED module designers can now benefit from a high resolution, 256x64 dots, high contrast wide viewing angle display that will fit all forms of ''slim-line'' equipment designs. The ultra-wide letterbox profile of the new OLED module packs an active area of 136.00mm x 34.00mm into an overall size of 146.00mm x 45.00mm x 2.00mm thus ensuring ideal packaging into rack mounted industrial equipment and ...

Everlight Electronics has introduced a new family of long-body, low-profile 4-Pin SOP phototransistor optocouplers offering the best combination of key specifications sought after by designers looking to optimize high-temperature performance in feedback loop and microprocessor system interface in power supplies as well as other applications requiring isolation.

Analog Devices, Inc. have introduced four high-speed data converter products that support signal sampling rates necessary to accommodate multi-carrier radio platform requirements for today’s 3G and 4G cellular infrastructure communication standards, including CDMA2000, UMTS/LTE, TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE.

Freescale Semiconductor today announced a new product platform that incorporates a high-performance microcontroller (MCU) and an energy-efficient applications processor, along with extensive enablement to help designers meet aggressive market windows. This asymmetrical-multiprocessing-architecture platform incorporates an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller and a Cortex-A5 processor to enable simultaneous real-time control, graphics-rich apps processi...

Making sense of images captured by cameras in today’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems requires sophisticated microprocessors with specific feature sets. But what makes a good image processor? Sally Ward-Foxton investigates.

As electronic systems take over many of the mechanical functions in a car—ranging from engine timing to steering and braking—there is a growing concern about fault tolerance. There should not be a single point of failure that would prevent a car from at least limping off the road or making it to the nearest service station. Redundant systems, watchdog timers, and other control circuits are used to reroute signals and perform other functions t...
