Changing the landscape of computing – 30 years on
A decade before IBM launched the world’s first smartphone, a team of Stanford University researchers and Silicon Valley veterans came together to design a microprocessor architecture that would forever change the landscape of computing.The year was 1986 and the newly formed company was MIPS Computer Systems - a small start-up led by current day Stanford University President John L. Hennessy.
Improving the performance of your mobile
It has been announced that the Circuit Seed family from InventionShare, a family of circuit building blocks for processing analogue signals using fully digital components and design flow, are now able to improve functionally of mobile phone offerings from all manufacturers. The graphic below shows the impact of Circuit Seed on a smartphone.
Development boards help to evaluate 200V GaN transistors
Designed to enable power systems engineers quickly evaluate the efficiency achieved with 200V GaN (gallium nitride) transistors in class-E amplifiers, current-mode class D, and push-pull converters operating up to 30MHz, Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has released three GaN-based differential mode development boards.
Reducing power consumption with optoelectronics
Researchers at MIT, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Colorado have used existing processes found in microchip fabrication facilities to produce an optoelectronic microprocessor, which computes electronically but uses light to move information.
Chinese component maker extends footprint in Europe
Rutronik and LRC (Leshan Radio Company), a Chinese manufacturer of diodes, transistors and integrated circuits, have extended their franchise agreement to cover Europe. Rutronik is already LRC’s distribution partner for Asia. LRC is one of Asia’s largest producers of small-signal discrete semiconductors.
X-REL semiconductor 2015 summary
X-REL Semiconductor, the innovation leader in extended lifetime, high-temperature and high-reliability semiconductors, finishes the year 2015 having introduced eight new products targeting highly demanding markets such as aerospace, industrial, hybrid and electric vehicles, transportation, geothermal and oil & gas.
Operation in tight spaces
Two new single channel 6-pin SDIP 1Mbit/s and 10Mbit/s transistor output optocouplers have been introduced by Everlight Electronics.Both ELS511 and ELS611 are SMD devices in a small outline 6-pin SDIP package, meaning they are bothsuited for preferential use in space constraint industrial applications.
Creating the internet of low power things
Reducing power consumption is a major challenge facing the IoT. Steve Rogerson looks at the techniques being employed.
