Sign off tools speed up 16 nm ASIC chip tapeout
Full-flow digital and signoff tools from Cadence were used by Socionext for the successful production tapeout of its latest large, 16nm ASIC chip and it has built a design environment for its 7nm designs. Using the capabilities of the integrated full flow, Socionext sped design closure on its 16nm design when compared with its previous solution.
Digital multi-phase controllers power the IoT cloud
Power designers have to efficiently power and cool data centre and networking equipment, while ensuring minimal electricity usage, says Chance Dunlap, Renesas Electronics
ASIC design service broadens its reach into EMEA
Avnet Silica has added sister company Avnet ASIC Solutions to its line-up of standard services in EMEA opening the way for customers from SMEs to OEMs to follow a path from design through to manufacture. The business has been built around a 40-strong design team based in Israel and headed by Yulia Milshtein, Director of Operations and Business Development.
Switch mode regulator helps cool down data centres
The Power by Linear LTM4700 µModule regulator from Analog Devices is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The step-down switching mode regulator combines very high power with energy-efficient performance to help reduce data center infrastructure cooling requirements.
Enhanced connectivity on MCUs enable system-level flexibility
Texas Instruments has introduced new communications capabilities on its C2000 microcontrollers (MCUs). C2000 F2838x 32-bit MCUs enable designers to use a single chip to implement connectivity, including EtherCAT, Ethernet and Controller Area Network with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD), in AC servo drives and other industrial systems.
Modular angle encoder with circular scale variants
A new family of optical scanning angle encoders has been developed by HEIDENHAIN for demanding applications requiring constant speed control or high positional stability. The modular design of the ERP 1000 encoders includes numerous circular scale variants and HEIDENHAIN’s HSP 1.0 signal processing ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit), its first ever use in an angle rather than a linear encoder.
Ceramic hermetic DDR2 memory available for space
Data Device Corporation (DDC) has introduced what is believed to be the first CCGA Rad-Hard DDR2 SDRAM for space applications, the latest addition to DDC's wide range of high density space grade ceramic hermetic memories, spanning Flash (NAND/NOR), SDRAM, SRAM and EEPROM solutions.
Who and what was worth seeing at PCIM 2019?
Power is always an interesting topic as it is a necessity in life, but after visiting my first ever PCIM show this week it has opened my eyes as to how big the automotive power sector is, and how much it is expected to grow.Of course the big players in the automotive industry continue to innovate, but PCIM this year saw more companies starting to become involved in automotive power, whereas before they stuck to the more energy and industrial side...
ASIC benefits to be showcased at Sensor + Test 2019
The benefits of Application Specific ICs (ASICs) and how embracing silicon gives a product a genuine technical and commercial advantage will be highlighted by Swindon Silicon Systems, a Sensata Technologies company, at this year’s Sensor + Test exhibition in Nuremberg (June 25-27).
Interactive touch technology in slim 40mm design
Manufacturer of large format, durable and customised Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touch sensors, Zytronic, has announced that its touch technology has been used to create the double sided, 55” interactive display in the slimline Blade kiosk created by Design to Production and currently being piloted in Australian Volkswagen showrooms.
