ZMD AG today announced two high-performance devices to complement its family of LED driver integrated circuits. The ZLED7020 and the ZLED7030 LED driver ICs operate at up to 98% efficiency, thus helping to achieve the highest possible lumen-per-watt output in high brightness LED applications.

The new XC6602 series from Torex is a high speed and highly accurate LDO which can supply up to 1A of output current while consuming only 110µA. With the help of a bias voltage that can be set between 2.5V and 6.0V, the XC6602 operates with input voltages from 0.5V to 3.0V and is readily available with fixed output voltages from 0.5V to 1.8V in 0.1V increments.

The new XC6603/04 series from Torex is a high speed and highly accurate LDO family which can supply up to 1A of output current while consuming only 100µA. With the help of a bias voltage that can be set between 2.5V and 6.0V, the XC6603/04 operates with input voltages from 0.5V to 3.0V and is readily available with fixed output voltages from 0.5V to 1.8V in 0.1V increments.

Torex Semiconductor is proud to introduce its latest DC/DC Converter for powering AMOLED display drivers and e-reader display panels. The XC9519 is a dual-output DC/DC converter which can generate both a positive and a negative voltage. The step-up converter circuit compares a built-in reference voltage of 1.0V to the FBP voltage (accuracy ±1.5%) and a positive output voltage can be set freely with the external components up to 18V.

Synopsys announced that Aeroflex Colorado Springs, Inc., a global provider of high-technology solutions to the aerospace, defense and broadband communications markets, has successfully deployed Synopsys’ CustomSim unified circuit simulation solution for the development and verification of its high reliability integrated circuits (ICs). The CustomSim solution delivers performance improvements of up to 60x over SPICE, increasing designer producti...

Synopsys introduced its Galaxy Characterization Solution. The Galaxy Characterization Solution is a comprehensive suite of tools architected to generate compact, highly-accurate libraries for the design and implementation of complex system-on-chips (SoCs). Today's SoCs require libraries that contain hundreds of gigabytes of timing, power, noise and process variation data to ensure the chip meets all performance criteria. The Galaxy Characterizati...

Synopsys and Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VSEA), the leading producer of ion implantation equipment used in the manufacture of semiconductors, today announced a collaboration to develop Technology CAD (TCAD) models for cryogenic ion implantation. By enabling faster optimization of the cryogenic implant process through simulation, the models derived from this collaboration will speed up process development of advanced C...

Synopsys Inc introduced Proteus LRC for lithography verification. Proteus LRC provides comprehensive, process-window-aware checking features to identify locations in a design that are sensitive to process variations, thereby enabling corrective action to be taken prior to committing a design to manufacture. Proteus LRC is integrated into the Proteus Mask Synthesis flow and is targeted for use by OPC and mask data preparation groups at semiconduct...

At just 50 nanometres in length the ‘gate’ of the diamond transistor developed by Dr David Moran, of the Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering, is more than 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, and is half the size of the previous smallest diamond transistor developed by Japanese firm NTT.

Synopsys has announced that NetLogic Microsystems, a leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors and high speed integrated circuits, has signed an expanded business agreement to establish Synopsys as its primary EDA partner. NetLogic Microsystems chose Synopsys because of its technology leadership and its ability to help NetLogic Microsystems meet its aggressive product schedules.
