Configurable System-on-Chip ICs from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has announced two new additions to its SPEAr family of configurable System-on-Chip ICs. The dual-core SPEAr Plus600, complemented with a single-core variant, SPEAr Head600, represents a market-unique solution that enables printer, fax, point-of-sale (POS) and other equipment manufacturers to develop complex yet flexible digital engines at a fraction of the time and cost required by a full-custom design approach. Additionally, t...
First Auto-Shutdown LED Driver to Address Energy-Saving Programs is claimed by STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has introduced what it says is the first LED driver to include auto-power-saving features. The STP16CPS05 allows manufacturers to meet the high power-efficiency requirements of industrial lighting, signage and transport applications by guaranteeing savings of 80% compared to existing solutions.
Ultra-Large-Bandwidth ESD Protection for HDMI Connections from ST
STMicroelectronics has enlarged its portfolio of ultra-low-capacitance protection ICs for the high-definition video market. The new device allows a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), to operate at full HDMI speed of 1.65 Gbit/s and even up to 3.2 Gbit/s, with full 15kV contact and air Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection. Offering the best bandwidth available on the market (greater than 5GHz), the new HDMIULC6-4SC6 is a monolithic...

TI’s new 6LoWPAN sub-1GHz solutions deliver mesh wireless Internet connectivity to metering, security, street lighting, building automation and other spaces
Texas Instruments Incorporated has introduced new sub-1 GHz 6LoWPAN solutions, aimed at providing a gateway for remote, low-cost wireless sensors to connect to the Internet and a wireless extension of wired IPv6 infrastructures. By operating in the sub-1GHz band, TI’s 6LoWPAN solutions offer longer wireless range at lower power levels than traditional 2.4 GHz-based 6LoWPAN offerings. The 6LoWPAN solutions support large-scale mesh networks and a...
TI claims smallest Impedance Track battery fuel gauge for handhelds
Texas Instruments has introduced a single-cell battery fuel gauge integrated circuit with Impedance Track technology, which is half the size of its predecessor. The tiny bq27505 stand-alone lithium battery capacity monitoring and reporting device resides in the system and measures only 2.5 x 2 x 0.625 mm, and supports portable applications, such as smart phones, digital cameras and MP3 players, where maintaining long battery life is critical for ...
TI introduces advanced notebook battery fuel gauges that support JEITA charging profile
Texas Instruments has introduced the bq20z4x and bq20z6x family of battery fuel gauge ICs with enhanced charging, including the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Association (JEITA) profile. The new battery fuel gauges feature TI’s Impedance Track technology and provide the highest degree of capacity measurement for two- to four-cell battery packs used in next-generation notebooks and netbooks, portable industrial and medical equ...
Texas Instruments - 720 MHz processor targeted at multimedia applications
Giving designers more performance to run new application features and additional headroom to add their own IP, Texas Instruments has announced a speed upgrade for the OMAP3530 applications processor and evaluation module (EVM). The new OMAP3530 processor features a 720 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 core and a 520 MHz TMS320C64x+ DSP.
Linear battery chargers from TI maximize AC adapter and USB input power
Texas Instruments has introduced four 28-V, 1.5-A linear charge management ICs with integrated FETs aimed at smart phones and other portable electronics. The bq2407x family of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery chargers allows an end-equipment to be powered directly from an external power source, even if the unit’s battery pack is defective, fully discharged or absent.
STMicroelectronics Delivers 90nm STM32 MCU with Unique Flash Accelerator for Extra Performance Boost
STMicroelectronics has announced two significant advances that further improve the performance and power consumption of its successful STM32 family: availability of production devices featuring embedded Flash at 90nm process technology; and the industry’s first Adaptive Real-Time (ART) memory accelerator optimized for the STM32’s industry-standard ARM Cortex-M3 processor.
