Cambridge Consultants reaches new milestone in Iridium innovation
Cambridge Consultants, a leading technology product development firm known for designing breakthrough products, has achieved another milestone in its collaborative relationship with Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM). In coordination with Iridium’s engineering team, Cambridge Consultants led the design process of the new Iridium 9602 short burst data (SBD) transceiver, which is nearly 70% smaller than the previous model, contains approx...
DUEL: improving LTE uplink experience at MWC
Cambridge Consultants is using its booth at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, 15-18 February, to demonstrate DUEL (Dual-domain Uplink Equaliser for LTE), a breakthrough technology that significantly improves LTE uplink performance when compared to MMSE, the “text-book” receiver design. DUEL, designed as an algorithmic and DSP extension to LTE base station receiver designs requires no changes to handsets.
Imec and Holst Centre bring brain wave monitoring to the home
At this week’s Medical Device & Manufacturing conference and exhibition in Anaheim, imec and Holst Centre present breakthroughs in enabling technologies for wireless EEG (electroencephalogram) systems enabling continuous ambulatory monitoring. The demonstrated EEG headset is compatible with dry electrodes and combines ease-of-use with ultra-low power electronics. The prototype headset records high quality EEG signals and wirelessly transmits th...
eASIC eTools 8.1 Design Suite Reduces Design Time by 40%
eASIC Corporation, a provider of NEW ASIC devices, today announced the immediate availability of its eTools 8.1 Design Suite for implementing 45nm Nextreme-2 designs. The eTools 8.1 tool suite delivers a robust ASIC grade design flow with the simplicity and ease of design that is normally associated with FPGA design tools. New features and enhancements in eTools 8.1 enable designers to reduce overall design time by up to 40% while increasing desi...
eASIC Introduces 45nm ASIC Value Shuttle Program
eASIC Corporation, a provider of NEW ASIC devices, today introduced a Value Shuttle™ program that lowers the entry cost for 45nm ASIC designs. The 45nm Value Shuttle™ enables designers to receive forty-five (45) eASIC Nextreme-2 NEW ASIC prototypes for only forty-five thousand dollars ($45K), a small fraction of the cost of competing ASIC solutions. Through reducing the cost, and hence development risk of ASIC design prototypes, the 45nm eASI...
Byte Paradigm announces First Serial Protocol Host Adapter that supports Dual- and Quad-SPI protocols
Byte Paradigm announced SPI Storm, an advanced Serial Protocol Host Adapter controlled from PC through USB interface. The device is capable of accessing ASIC, SoC, FPGA and other digital embedded systems that use serial protocols up to 100 MHz at their I/Os. Serial protocol can be chosen from a library of standard protocols that includes: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), variants of SPI on 3 wires, and for the first time, dual-SPI and quad-SPI ...
SMA560 MEMS Acceleration Sensor
The SMA550 and SMA560 are versatile accelerometers for automotive passive safety systems. They are typically used as central sensors in the airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and measure the deceleration rate of a vehicle during a collision to activate restraint systems, such as front and side airbags or seatbelt tensioner. Other applications like shock monitoring are also possible.
ARM Forecast to Accelerate Lead in the Automotive Sector Over the next Five Years
Analysis of findings from Semicast’s Embedded Processing Service and Automotive Electronics & Entertainment Systems Service shows that ARM maintained its position as the leading architecture for 32-bit embedded processors in the automotive sector in 2011, ahead of Power Architecture, SH, TriCore and V850. The data also suggests that ARM’s lead in this sector is set to increase significantly over the next five years.
