Innovative Silicon Unveils Z-RAM Memory Technology Breakthroughs
Innovative Silicon has demonstrated that its Z-RAM memory technology continues to show considerable advantages over DRAM implementations and other proposed floating body memory designs. Dr. Mikhail Nagoga, a principal member of ISi’s technical staff, presented a paper written by Dr. Serguei Okhonin, chief scientist at ISi, that describes the smallest silicon dynamic memory devices ever reported, with the largest programming window. Separatel...
Silicon Labs Introduces 'green' POE/POE+ QUAD PSE Controller
Silicon Laboratories has introduced the Si345x family, the industry's most integrated, energy-efficient quad Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) controllers. Able to support four independent PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) PSE ports, the Si345x controllers offer real-time power measurement capabilities, energy-efficient powered device (PD) detection and disconnect algorithms, and the industry's lowest on-resistance...
STMicroelectronics and Semikron team up on power modules
Semikron International, known for its diode/thyristor power modules and an expert in power module packaging, and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), have teamed up to develop and deliver integrated power modules for industrial, consumer, and automotive markets, embedding ST’s industry-leading power devices in Semikron’s SEMITOP® power packages.
Digital drivers from Semikron offer versatile power control
Semikron has announced a new generation of IGBT drivers based on full digital signal processing. The SKYPER 52 allows for the transmission of isolated control signals and a range of configurable protection schemes, enabling engineers to design without the need to add isolated circuitry. The result is fewer system components and improved overall system reliability.
Miniature bipolar package increases power supply efficiency
Combining complementary NPN and PNP transistors in the SOT236 package, the ZXTC2045E6 from Zetex Semiconductors produces the drive requirement needed to switch high power MOSFETs and IGBTs in power supply designs.
Ramtron Granted Fundamental Ferroelectric RAM Patent
Ramtron announced today the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 7,672,151 entitled Method for Reading Non-volatile Ferroelectric Capacitor Memory Cell. The patent materially expands Ramtron’s intellectual property portfolio.
Intersil’s ultra-flexible dual protocol transceivers
Intersil has introduced the ISL333X family of dual protocol transceivers. The functional flexibility of this family is designed to reduce component count and eliminate multiplexing networks, reducing as many as five different component functions into one single transceiver.
VCom calibrator reduces manufacturing costs in TFT-LCDs
Replacing one of the last remaining mechanical stages in a TFT-LCD assembly, Intersil’s ISL45041 is a 7-bit, non-volatile programmable Vcom calibrator with I2C interface for setting backplane common voltage in thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs). The device is designed to reduce the flicker of an LCD panel by adjusting the Vcom voltage during production, effectively replacing the mechanical potentiometers normally needed to...
New Broadband Gain Blocks from Avago Technologies Deliver High Linearity and Low Current Consumption via InGaP HBT Technology
Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced two new high-linearity gain block amplifiers.
