NXP has announced that its secure contactless microcontroller chip – SmartMX, has been selected by the VDV-Kernapplikations GmbH & Co. KG, to power future electronic transport ticketing schemes in Germany. Alongside card and inlay-manufacturer Cardag, NXP will provide SmartMX ICs for around eight million contactless cards to be issued throughout Germany by 2012. The aim of the scheme is to provide a single ticketing solution that will be used a...

NXP has announced that it will be the first ARM Partner to license the new ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The Cortex-M0 processor is the smallest, lowest power and most energy efficient processor available from ARM. NXP intends to use the Cortex-M0 processor for a wide range of applications. Its compact size, energy efficiency and performance make it ideal for power management tasks in SoCs, ASSPs, and stand-alone microcontrollers. Potential applicatio...

NXP today announced the availability of its ARM® Cortex™-M0 based LPC1100 microcontroller family from distributors in December. NXP’s LPC1100 is the lowest-priced 32-bit MCU solution in the market, bringing higher value and ease of use than existing 8/16-bit microcontroller through unprecedented performance, simplicity, low power, and more importantly, dramatic reductions in code size for all 8/16-bit applications. With 15 members initially,...

XP Semiconductors N.V. today announced the availability of two high-speed multiplexer switches supporting Thunderbolt I/O technology developed by Intel Corporation. Thunderbolt technology enables fast data transfers between PCs and peripheral and display devices by concurrently supporting data and display connections over a single cable.

NXP today announced the TDA20142 – the first satellite silicon tuner addressing the challenging requirements of both free-to-air (FTA) and operator satellite set-top box (STB) applications. The TDA20142 also reduces system cost through competitive pricing and reduced bill of materials (BoM). The satellite silicon tuner will be showcased at IBC 2010 in Amsterdam.

NXP Semiconductors has unveiled a suite of new power management solutions that will reduce power consumption in desktop PCs and laptops for the mass market. The highly efficient GreenChip PFC, GreenChip SR controllers and a portfolio of 30V power MOSFETs in LFPAK will be showcased at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in Washington in February.

NXP Semiconductors has announced the launch of the SSL2101 - the world’s first integrated dimmable mains LED driver. The NXP SSL2101 is a small form factor Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC specifically designed to drive LED devices and provide dimming capabilities to further improve the energy efficiency of LED lighting. The SSL2101 can drive lighting systems with variable power requirements which include LED retro-fit lamps, LED...

NXP Semiconductors announced a new family of small-signal MOSFETs delivering breakthrough low RDS(on) performance. The low RDS(on) P-Channel and N-Channel MOSFETs enable lower power consumption for consumer electronics applications such as notebooks, tablets, handsets, e-readers, set-top-boxes and LCD TVs. These high-efficiency MOSFETs are available in high-volume SOT23 and SOT457 packages with a compact 3-mm x 3-mm footprint, allowing design eng...
