16-bit analog-to-digital converter and low-jitter clock combination from TI
Texas Instruments has introduced a 16-bit, single-channel, 135 mega samples per second (MSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a low-jitter clock synthesizer. The combined signal chain solution provides unmatched dynamic system-level performance in communications, defense, and test and measurement applications. The data converter and clock are available on the same evaluation module (EVM) to facilitate fast evaluations of these complex syste...
Programmable logic platform now available in military temperature rating
QuickLogic announces that the one million gate version of PolarPro, the industry's lowest power programmable logic technology, is now available in a mil-spec temperature rating. This innovative programmable device, incorporating embedded memory with built-in FIFO control, and advanced clock management control units, offers unparalleled design security.
Aldec and SynthWorks deliver Randomization and Functional Coverage Capabilities to VHDL Designers with OS-VVM
Aldec, Inc., in collaboration with SynthWorks Design Inc., today announces the availability of Open Source - VHDL Verification Methodology (OS-VVM™), underscoring the partnership’s commitment to provide continued support to the VHDL design community.
TI delivers highest linearity, smallest dual, 16-bit, 800-MSPS interpolating DAC
Texas Instruments today introduced a 16-bit, 800-MSPS interpolating digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which provides 75 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) at 200 MHz. Offered in a 7-mm x 7-mm QFN package, the DAC3283 is also the smallest DAC in its class, saving valuable board space in wireless communications, software defined radio (SDR), test and measurement, and power amplifier linearization applications.
TI Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors: First single-chip solutions offering integrated industrial communication protocols to accelerate industrial designs
Developers looking to ease and accelerate their industrial automation designs can now benefit from the industry’s first ARM Cortex-A8 system solution with multiple integrated industrial communication protocols, offered by Texas Instruments Incorporated. The Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors, launched last month, deliver power dissipation levels below 7mW, along with two industrial automation hardware development tools, complete softw...
TI's 45-nm Chip Manufacturing Process Doubles Output per Wafer, Lowers Power and Boosts Performance
HONOLULU - Before the start of the prestigious 2006 Symposium on VLSI Technology, Texas Instruments unveiled details of a 45-nanometer semiconductor manufacturing process that leverages a "wet" lithography process to double the number of chips produced on each silicon wafer, increase processing performance and reduce power consumption. Through the use of numerous proprietary techniques, TI will drive the capabilities of its multi-million tra...
New Chip Material Addresses Power Leakage and Scaling for 45-nm and Beyond
Texas Instruments has announced plans to integrate a high-k value material within the transistors in its most advanced, high performance 45nm chip products. For years, high-k dielectrics have been under consideration to address leakage, or power drain, which has become increasingly problematic as transistor dimensions continue to shrink. Through its approach, TI will reduce leakage by more than 30 times per unit area as compared with commonly u...
