Tensilica should stand out at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, February 14-18, 2011, as it has moved into the number one position as the supplier of baseband DSP (digital signal processors) IP (intellectual property) cores for the new generation of 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) equipment. Eight of the top 15 LTE chipset manufacturers are working with Tensilica's cores for their designs.

Semikron International, known for its diode/thyristor power modules and an expert in power module packaging, and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), have teamed up to develop and deliver integrated power modules for industrial, consumer, and automotive markets, embedding ST’s industry-leading power devices in Semikron’s SEMITOP® power packages.

SEMIKRON has introduced its SEMiSTART family of anti-parallel uninsulated thyristor modules, which has been designed specifically for use in soft-start devices. The modules are extremely compact. For example, a 400kW soft-starter featuring SEMiSTART is only one-sixth of the volume of the same device using conventional capsule thyristors. In addition, by using pressure contact technology and double-sided chip cooling, these new modules can withsta...

U.S. semiconductor maker Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR), a leading developer and supplier of ferroelectric-based low-power semiconductor products and austriamicrosystems (SIX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog ICs, today announced the availability of the MaxArias Wireless Memory kit for evaluating third-generation, data-rich automatic identification applications. Ramtron’s MaxArias Wir...

Intersil today announced it has signed an agreement with world-renowned audio expert, Mr. Mark Levinson. Under the agreement, Mark Levinson will partner with Intersil to jointly develop custom-tuned audio amplifier solutions that provide audiophile-quality music and sound for the next-generation of consumer products from portable music players to upscale music and home theater systems.

Housed in tiny, ultra-slim μTQFN or chipscale packages, 9MHz low-pass reconstruction filters from Intersil remove quantization noise and switching glitches created by video DACs on an analogue output signal. The devices have integrated gain-of-two buffers and a summer that recombines the S-video signal to provide a composite video output for those applications where the DAC does not provide a composite video out. Coupled with their ultra-s...

Avago Technologies has announced that its CoolPAM power amplifier modules have been incorporated in a reference design from a leading W-CDMA chipset supplier. Handsets based on the design will ship beginning this fall, giving manufacturers a time-to-market advantage in delivering the major functionality for multi-mode third-generation (3G) mobile phones, data cards, PDAs and other mobile devices.

Avago Technologies announced new power amplifier modules (PAMs) that extend handset talk time for GSM/EDGE communication. The new ACPM-7868 PAMs are fully compatible with Qualcomm’s newest generation of chipsets that support linear quad-band GSM/EDGE operation, enabling improved power efficiency for the world’s most widely-used cellular standard.

By mounting an 800mA converter in a tiny SC70JW package, AnalogicTech¹s AAT1110 delivers the higher current that these new designs require yet still enables the smallest solution size possible. The AAT1110 is the industry¹s first 800mA step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny 2.0x2.1mm SC70JW package.

Anglia Components has become sole UK distributor franchise for NemeriX, the Swiss manufacturer of low power chip sets for GPS applications. Power consumption of each chip set is typically 25 mW at 1 fix per second, making the devices ideal for battery-powered portable applications. NemeriX's products include analogue RF receivers, digital baseband processors and integrated devices that combine SiGe (Silicon Germanium) RF and standard CMOS baseba...
