Toshiba announced that it has developed noise reduction technology that reduces jitter in radio-frequency signals, cutting phase noise by up to 90 percent. This breakthrough opens the way for a further migration to high-speed wireless communication chips for wireless LAN and WiMAX.

Microchip announces a new series of low-power, high-resolution delta-sigma analogue-to-digital Converters. The MCP3422, MCP3423 and MCP3424 (MCP3422/3/4) ADCs provide 18-bits of resolution and consume only 135µA at 3V continuous conversion. The multi-channel devices have an integrated voltage reference, programmable gain amplifier and oscillator onboard, eliminating the need for external components, providing a smaller overall design footprint a...

Microchip has announced the first seven next-generation 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) for common, multi-drop switch mode power supplies (SMPSs) and other power conversion applications. There devices, offered in the industry’s smallest DSC packages for digital power conversion (with as small as a 6x6mm footprint), provide up to twice the performance at a significantly lower price than Microchip’s first SMPS family.

Microchip announces the MCP3909 energy-measurement IC and reference design. The new IC combines low power consumption with an SPI interface and active power pulse output. As a part of the MCP3909 3-Phase Energy Meter Reference Design, the new IC enables designers to rapidly develop new meter designs.

Microchip has announced a new range of solutions that complement market trends toward ‘green’ products. The MCP14628 and MCP14700 synchronous buck MOSFET drivers and the MCP1804 Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs), provide maximum efficiency in small packages.

Industrial and programmable power supply specialist, Safety Power Group, has introduced a new range of air-cooled programmable DC electronic loads that offer the industry’s smallest footprint to save valuable rack space in automatic test equipment (ATE) applications.

Custom-specific solutions (ASICs) and production of mixed-signal ICs are the main focus of PREMA Semiconductor GmbH at electronica. Their product range is growing continuously, particularly by buck and boost LED drivers.

On December 31, 2010, Rogers Corporation signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the stock of Curamik Electronics GmbH, a manufacturer of power electronic substrate products headquartered in Eschenbach, Germany, for €116 million (subject to closing adjustments). The acquisition will be financed through a combination of borrowings under existing bank credit facilities and cash and is expected to close this week.

Dialog Semiconductor plc has announced its second generation of system level power management ICs, which now include an integrated class G codec. Called the DA9057, the device's five on-board dc/dc converters optimally support 24-bit stereo audio headphone playback on a 5mW power budget. This further extends battery life for music-enabled devices.

Dialog Semiconductor has collaborated with NEC Electronics Corporation to develop a design platform based on NEC Electronics' multimedia processor system-on-chips (SoCs) and Dialog's power management platform ICs. As the market for portable devices, including audio players, video players and smartphones continues to show strong growth, the ability to enable designers to rapidly create differentiated portable devices that exploit advances in powe...
