Atmel and Adeneo Embedded have announced a Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 training course in Los Angeles from May 4 to 7, 2009. This event is a unique opportunity for software system designers to develop an application based on Windows Embedded CE, and on the industry leading AT91SAM9. The AT91SAM9 is an Embedded MPU based on the ARM926EJ-SÔ core which has rapidly become the platform of choice for embedded designers.

Freescale Semiconductor is helping streamline embedded software development with the launch of its new CodeWarrior 10 development suites, based on open-source Eclipse technology.

Building on a growing platform of microcontroller (MCU) and microprocessor (MPU) development tools, Freescale Semiconductor continues to enable advanced development and rapid prototyping for medical, industrial and multi-market applications through its Tower System development platform. Today, Freescale introduced four processor modules and two interchangeable peripheral modules for the Tower System. Each of these development boards, or modules, ...

Maxim has introduced the MAX16016/20/21/23/24 low-power (< 1.2microamps), microprocessor supervisory circuits featuring precision power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions. Delivering optimal performance in small TQFN or TDFN packages, these supervisory circuits integrate a variety of features including a microprocessor reset circuit, battery-backup switchover, power-fail warning, and chip-enable (CE) gating.

Maxim has introduced the MAX16065/MAX16066, flash configurable sequencers/monitors that simplify power management and help conserve power consumption. The devices eliminate the need for external current-sense amplifiers to monitor current and thus save both space and cost. Each device can be programmed for monitoring and sequencing system voltages. The MAX16065 manages up to twelve supply voltages simultaneously, and the MAX16066 manages up to ei...

Maxim introduces the MAX16913/MAX16913A, high-voltage current-sense switches that prevent system damage due to fault conditions. These devices monitor load current and provide an analog output voltage proportional to the sensed load current. They include accurate internal current-limiting circuitry to protect the input supply against both overload and short-circuit conditions. Two open-drain fault-indicator outputs notify the microprocessor when...

Semtech, a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors for communications, portable devices, computers, and industrial equipment, today announced the SC560, a family of ultra small, dual-output low dropout (LDO) linear regulators for Lithium-ion battery-powered designs such as mobile phones. The SC560 devices measure 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.6mm (MLPQ-UT-8) and feature a dropout of only 200mV maximum at a current of 200mA per output. The SC56...

The ARM Powered MultiCuber robot solves a 3x3x7 cube - another world's first? Here is another example of how David Gilday (@IAssemble) has fun with ARM technology! The 3x3x7 cube is like a regular 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube with additional layers but is somewhat more complex due to its asymmetric structure with rectangular pieces. We think it looks cool when scrambled.

ARM today announced its support for the new EEMBC (Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium) CoreMark processor benchmark. CoreMark is a synthetic benchmark, but carries out meaningful calculations, and is claimed to be a significant improvement on current Dhrystone benchmarks which is overly dependent on the performance of the C library.

Atmel Corporation today announced several new microcontroller products, tools and platforms to enable an easier workflow for designers of consumer, industrial, white goods and smart energy applications.
