Analog Devices has built its new microcontroller based radio SoC on Arm’s 32bit RISC Cortex-M3. John Taylor got the low down at electronica.

Analog Devices is expanding its iSensor intelligent sensor product family with the introduction of two highly-integrated inertial sensors that greatly simplify the complex task of embedded shock and vibration sensing within harsh industrial environments. Based on Analog Devices' iMEMS inertial sensor cores, these fully autonomous system-ready devices are one-tenth the cost and 100 times smaller than previous less-integrated, brick-level sensor mo...

Applied Acoustics Easytrak Portable acoustic navigation system uses Eurotech’s VIPER single board computer to play a key communications role. Easytrak can undertake a wide range of tracking and positioning tasks for seabed mapping, towfish tracking and controlling robotic vehicles. It is also used to locate subsea divers, so is critical to the safety of personnel.

Tundra Semiconductor and RMI Corporation have announced the interoperability of Tundra's Tsi578 Serial RapidIO Switch with RMI Corporation's (RMI) high-performance multi-core multi-threaded XLS Processor.

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a nonprofit organisation inspiring young people to be science and technology leaders, has selected the National Instruments CompactRIO embedded control platform as its next-generation FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robot controller. With this platform, high school students will create advanced robots starting in the 2009 FIRST season. Students can program their robots based on C...

Texas Instruments has introduced an automotive-qualified DC/DC power management integrated circuit (IC) that switches autonomously between buck and boost modes to provide a constant regulated output voltage of 5 V. The TPIC74100-Q1 operates over a wide input voltage range of 1.5 V to 40 V and simplifies design by eliminating the need for external components.

The next 25 years of digital signal processing technology will literally integrate hundreds of processors on a single chip to conceive applications beyond our imagination, said Mike Hames, senior vice president, Texas Instruments Incorporated. Addressing electronics industry leaders in his keynote remarks today to open the 5th annual Texas Instruments Developer Conference (TIDC), Hames envisions a world where clothing can alert you of medical pro...

Developing higher performance autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) that are smaller and less complex, Team SONIA, comprised of students from the École de technologie supérieure (ETS) in Quebec, Canada, have integrated Texas Instruments Incorporated’s TMS320F28x digital signal controller (DSC) technology into their new vehicle, which will compete in the 10th International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition in San Diego, ...

National Instruments has announced an initiative sponsored by Intel Corporation to deliver free, hands-on multicore programming workshops based on the NI LabVIEW graphical programming language to engineers and scientists around the globe. The Multicore Programming with NI LabVIEW Hands-On Workshop will be presented in 18 U.S. and Canadian cities beginning in May and 15 international cities this Autumn.

At the 16th ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) World Congress and Exhibition, STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier of semiconductors for infotainment, powertrain, safety and telematics systems, will present successful solutions benefiting from its automotive-focused ICs. These ICs include navigation processors, the EyeQ2 high-performance vision-processing engine, and safety microcontrollers. ST is working with its customers in a number of appl...
