Freescale and IPextreme expand licensing of ColdFire cores
Freescale Semiconductor is expanding its ColdFire licensing program by offering its 32-bit V4 ColdFire core to the embedded community through IPextreme, a semiconductor technology licensing specialist. Working in collaboration with Freescale, IPextreme will now market, sell and support Freescale’s V1, V2 and V4 ColdFire cores to system-on-chip (SoC) designers seeking to integrate the cores and other functions onto single-chip ICs.
Freescale DSP family delivers new levels of performance for the next wave of wireless base station deployments
Two years and multiple field deployments after introducing the industry’s highest-performing programmable baseband DSP, Freescale Semiconductor announces two next-generation products that deliver more than twice the throughput of their industry-leading predecessor.
LDRA Tool Suite Directly Integrates with Altera’s Nios II Embedded Design Suite
LDRA has extended the LDRA tool suite to support direct integration with Altera’s Embedded Design Suite (EDS) for Nios II soft core processors. In the past, these processors lacked sufficient CPU and memory to be used in automotive, medical, industrial and avionics environments.
MAX14548E/AE: 16-channel, bidirectional, 100Mbps level translators save processor overhead and enable high-speed interfacing
Maxim introduced the MAX14548E/MAX14548AE, ±15kV ESD-protected, 16-channel, bidirectional level translators. These devices provide level shifting for data transfer in multivoltage systems by accepting a voltage range from 1.1V to 3.6V on the VL side and from 1.7V to 3.6V on the ±15kV ESD-protected Vcc side. Over these specified operating voltages, the MAX14548E/ MAX14548AE operate at a guaranteed data rate of 100Mbps. The low supply voltage, sm...
MAX31782: System management microcontroller cuts power and cooling costs in enterprise equipment
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX31782, a system management microcontroller that combines six temperature measurement channels with six channels of closed-loop fan control. By monitoring multiple temperature points throughout the system, the MAX31782 enables enterprise system designers to implement highly precise zoned-cooling schemes. This approach minimizes system power consumption and cooling costs by individually adjusting the spee...
Six-Line Protection Device Seems a Natural fit for Mobile Phone Keypads and other Portable Devices
Semtech has announced the µClamp™0506P, the industry’s first ultra-small six-line 5V protection device for portable systems. The µClamp0506P is the latest addition to Semtech’s MicroClamp product family, which now has the industry’s widest selection of line capacities – from one to six lines. The device works in any portable device, but is a natural fit for 12-button mobile phone keypads, reducing the number of protection parts need...
