ZMD has announced availability of the ZLED7320, a new member of its high current ZLED7x20 family of 40V LED-Driver-ICs. The ZLED7320, which operates at up to 98% efficiency and is available in a small-footprint DFN-5 package, is designed to help manufacturer’s cost-effectively address the growing high-brightness (HB) LED lighting market.

Maxim Integrated Products announces the MAX17122, a multiple-output power-supply IC that integrates three regulators whose high-efficiency and fixed-frequency operation allow the use of small inductors and capacitors. This results in a compact and cost-competitive solution for the power requirements of thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD HDTV panels. The MAX17122 operates from 8V to 16.5V input voltages and is optimized for applications running direct...

The new XC6505 series from Torex is a 10.5V LDO that combines the best of both worlds, being high speed (its PSRR is 60dB @1kHz) while consuming only 5.5µA. The XC6505 operates with input voltages from 1.7V to 10.5V over the extended -40~+105°C temperature range, can deliver output currents up to 200mA and is readily available with fixed output voltages from 1.5V to 8.0V in 0.1V increments.

Synopsys, Inc. today announced that LG Electronics, Inc. has selected Synopsys' CustomSim FastSPICE simulator for the verification of its advanced analog intellectual property (IP) and mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) designs. By deploying the CustomSim simulator, LG Electronics has accelerated verification of its analog IP and SoCs by an average of 10X over previous solutions, enabling designers to simulate more process corners with post-layout...

Synopsys, Inc. today unveiled its initiative to accelerate the design of stacked multiple-die silicon systems using 3D-IC integration to meet the requirements of faster and smaller electronic products that consume less power. As part of its 3D-IC initiative, Synopsys is working closely with leading IC design and manufacturing companies to deliver a comprehensive EDA solution, including enhanced versions of its IC implementation and circuit simula...

Synopsys and the Belgian nanoelectronics research center, imec, today announced they have entered into a collaboration to use Synopsys TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) finite-element method tools for characterising and optimising the reliability and electrical performance of through-silicon vias (TSVs). The collaboration will accelerate the development of 3D stacked IC technologies.

Synopsys announced that GSI Technology, a leader in high-density, high-speed monolithic SRAMs, has selected Synopsys' CustomSim FastSPICE solution for the development and verification of its leading-edge designs. GSI Technology's 144-megabit (Mbit) SigmaQuad SRAMs achieve data bandwidths in excess of 72 gigabits per second (Gbps). In order to maximize yield with such aggressive timing specifications, extensive full-chip transistor-level simulati...

Synopsys, Inc. and Arteris Inc. today announced a collaboration that enables models of Arteris' FlexNoC interconnect IP to be used with Synopsys' Platform Architect environment, offering system designers the ability to simulate realistic system-level performance of their end product architectures.

Infineon Technologies AG today opened a new facility in China called Infineon Integrated Circuits (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area. In addition to sales and marketing, application R&D and central functions, the new entity houses an IGBT stack manufacturing facility and a technical center for automotive solutions. IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are power semiconductors used to driv...

Three German partners from industry and research are joining forces in a quest to curb one of the worst energy guzzlers in the household and to introduce energy efficiency to the kitchen. Use of the induction cooking method – where only pots and pans are heated and not the stovetop – could save up to 25 percent electricity. Today, about ten to 15 percent of German households are equipped with an induction cooker. The initial price difference ...
