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...

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...

Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the latest device in its buck controller platform. The new SC283 is the world’s smallest 1.8A dual-channel regulator for point-of-load (POL) applications, combining two step-down regulators in an ultra-small, low-profile 2 x 3 x 0.8mm, 18-pad MLPQ package. With integrated VID pins to enable independent configuration and control of the out...

Today at Embedded World Nuremberg 2011, Atmel Corporation announced a new, easy-to-use cryptographic authentication device with enhanced hardware security features and increased flexibility. The ultra-low power Atmel ATSHA204 is the first turnkey, optimized authentication device to include a 4.5Kbit EEPROM and a hardware SHA-256 accelerator. Fully tested ASF software libraries are available for Atmel AVR® and ARM®-based microcontrollers a...

Atmel has announced an Ultra Wideband Evaluation Kit for rapid, low-cost development of UWB applications built around the AT91CAP9 ARM926EJ-S-based Customizable Microcontroller. The UWB Media Access Controller (MAC) is implemented, together with any application-specific logic, in the FPGA that emulates the CAP Metal Programmable (MP) Block. The UWB Physical Access Layer (PHY) is implemented in transmission and reception extension boards that plug...

Micrel Inc. today launched a new family of pre-bias safe, fully integrated buck regulators targeting the 5V and 3.3V rails. The MIC22705 can supply a maximum output load current of 7A, while the MIC22405 and MIC22205 can handle up to 4A and 2A respectively. These buck regulators achieve more than 95 percent efficiency while switching at high frequencies, utilizing very small external components. Applications such as servers, routers, 4G/LTE base ...
