Bi-directional autosensing voltage level shifter released
Diodes Incorporated has expanded its family of voltage level shifters, with the release of thePI4ULS3V304AQ. This advanced level shifting technology, featuring high degrees of flexibility, is key to modern automobile design. It addresses the challenge of lower voltage microprocessors and microcontrollers incorporated into automotive systems, which are required to drive external devices operating at different voltage levels to their own (such as s...
Percepio and Lauterbach collaborate for faster debugging
Percepio and Lauterbach, have announced their cooperation to achieve faster debugging through closer integration between Percepio Tracealyzer and Lauterbach’s series of TRACE32 high-end tracing tools.
The RISC-V open-source extensible ISA gathers momentum
New instruction set architectures don't come about very often in the semiconductor processor industry. The last significant change saw Arm develop cores and sell them as an IP license, in an instant changing how leading vendors of that era go about designing processors. Now, in a time of trade-wars and a pandemic, the availability of an open-source, royalty-free, extensible ISA is proving to be a transformative and disruptive force. By Mark Patr...

IC Insights recently released its 2021 edition of The McClean Report.The new analysis and forecast of the IC industry includes an analysis and forecast of the total microprocessor (MPU) market, including computer CPUs for PCs, tablets, and servers, embedded MPUs, and cellphone application MPUs.
Top 5 design products in February
Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 design products to have been released in February.
IC integrates power, voltage, and current monitoring
Allegro MicroSystems has announced the launch of the ACS37800, a Hall-effect power monitoring IC for single-phase AC and DC solutions in a small PCB footprint. Allegro’s ACS37800 also has an integrated power monitoring chip that allows simultaneous measurement of power, voltage, and current for AC and DC signals with an isolation rating of up to 1480 Vpk in a small SOIC16W package, reducing the solution BOM size, cost, and complexity.
Boosting security with STM32MP1 ecosystem extensions
STMicroelectronics has announced extensions to the broad ecosystem that supports development withSTM32MP1dual-core microprocessors, including new software packages and support for cutting-edge open-source security initiatives.
COTS-based radiation-hardened power converters
As reliance on communication and weather satellites grows and space research expands in scope and mission, new technology is required to help speed spaceflight system design and production. Microchip Technology has announced the expansion of its SA50-120 power converter family with nine new units based on its Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology. This technology provides developers with space-qualified power converters that help to minimise...
MCU's Alexa connection lowers barriers to IoT adoption
Nuvoton’s NuMicro M032 serial microcontroller (MCU) is now being shipped by distributor Digi-Key Electronics.
Decline eases in European semiconductor distribution
The European semiconductor distribution market seems to have seen the worst back in 2020 and a return to growth is highly likely in 2021. With COVID-19 impact easing and a return to strong growth in Asia driving component demand, the demand in Europe is growing too. However, Q4/2020 still resulted in a slight decline.
