STMicroelectronics Reclaims Lost Solar Energy with Intelligent Hotspot Prevention
STMicroelectronics today announced an innovation for solar panels aimed at allowing more of the energy from each cell to reach the power grid. The innovation replaces the simple bypass diode with an intelligent device that enhances efficiency and offers the same package outline. The new device can deliver a fast Return-On-Investment, in terms of releasing additional energy for solar panel applications.
TI amplifiers reduce audio solution cost for flat panel TVs
Texas Instruments has introduced its second-generation, 15W, stereo analog-input Class-D amplifiers with single-ended outputs. These highly-efficient devices eliminate components to reduce total solution size and cost in HDTVs and other consumer audio electronics. Innovative features address single-ended design challenges to ensure robust and reliable audio performance in LCD, plasma and DLP® TVs and other home audio products.
Texas Instruments speeds ultrasound design and reduces board space by more than half with integrated transmit/receive switch
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry’s first integrated, eight-channel, transmit/receive (T/R) switch for ultrasound systems. The TX810 addresses designers’ need to build smaller portable ultrasound systems, while speeding time to market.
Texas Instruments Unveils Integrated HDTV Processor and Development Platform with Full HD Video Processing
Extending a field-proven portfolio of digital television (DTV) solutions, Texas Instruments Incorporated today announced the new TVP9010 integrated high-definition television (HDTV) processor and development platform. Using sophisticated video processing techniques and based on TI’s world class mixed signal system-on-a-chip (SoC) design expertise, the highly integrated TVP9010 HDTV processor produces exceptionally high quality, full HD 1080...
Renesas Technology to Release the Industry’s First Reverse Conducting Thyristor for Use in Regulators for Two-Wheeled Vehicles
Renesas Technology Europe today announced the CRD5CM reverse conducting thyristor for use in voltage regulators for two-wheeled vehicles and engines for general-purpose batteries. The CRD5CM integrates a thyristor and a rectifier diode in a single element. Sample shipments will begin in February 2010.
Microtune - Receiver Chip Delivers Superior Performance, Cost and Size to Worldwide Digital TV Market
Microtune has introduced a radio frequency (RF)-to-baseband IC, based on a new, highly integrated silicon architecture, that delivers uncompromised TV receiver performance at a compelling new price point. The MT3141 single chip enables TV manufacturers to use a smaller, higher-performance and more cost-effective receiver across their next-generation global digital television designs. Using Microtune’s MT3141, manufacturers can build thinner, l...
Going spare: boosting voltage using spare MCU peripherals
With a few discrete components and some creative thinking, spare microcontroller peripherals can be used to provide a low-current, regulated voltage boost, as Keith Curtis, Technical Staff Engineer, Microchip Technology Inc. explains.
Microchip expands Serial Quad I/O family with 3V 32-Mbit SQI serial Flash memory
Microchip just announced that it has expanded its Serial Quad I/O (SQI) Flash memory family with the new 3V, 32-Mbit SQI Flash memory, SST26VF032. Building on the success of the SST26 Series family, the 4-bit, multiplexed I/O SST26VF032 features an enhanced serial-interface architecture that provides low-power, high-performance and flexible data/code-protection schemes. With an 80 MHz operating frequency and a specialised instruction set, the SST...
Fairchild - Synchronous Rectification Controller Compatible to Flyback and Forward Topologies; Multiple Operating Modes
In order to meet increased power efficiency demands and regulatory standards for desktop PCs, All-in-One (AIO) PCs and notebook adaptors, designers need secondary-side synchronous rectification (SR) controllers that can increase power efficiency while integrating more functions.
Taiyo Yuden - 5MM Square Power Inductors
New from Taiyo Yuden, the NRS5020 (5.0 x 5.0mm, with a maximum height of 2.0mm) and the NR5040 (5.0 x 5.0mm, with a maximum height of 4.0mm) wire-wound power inductors offer the industry’s best DC bias characteristics for 5mm square power inductors. Though more compact than conventional 6.0x6.0mm versions, Taiyo Yuden’s new power inductors boast comparable performance.
