An 8051 MCU IP core, claimed to be the world’s fastest, has been introduced by DCD. Boasting a Dhrystone 2.1 performance rating of 0.27292 DMIPS/MHz, the DQ8051 IP core is 29.01 times faster than the original 80C51 chip operating at the same frequency. In addition, the IP core consumes as a little as 1.2µW/MHz. The closest competitor is 26 times faster than the original 80C51 chip and consumes almost two times more power than the DQ80...

Semtech has announced a collaboration with MorethanIP, linking the IP from each party to produce a complete layer 1/layer 2 solution for IEEE 802.3bj, the recently ratified standard supporting 100G backplane applications.

According to preliminary findings from the 2015 edition of Semicast’s Embedded Processing Service, Qualcomm was the leading supplier of 32/64-bit core silicon in 2014, ahead of Apple and MediaTek. The findings show the top three suppliers collectively held an estimated market share of 44%, with the top ten together accounting for more than three-quarters of the total.

Infineon has utilised the Hanover Messe to announce its XMC4800series of32-bit MCUswith on-chip EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) node. With its real-time capability, the XMC4800 series will drive networked industrial automation and Industry 4.0 applications.AEC Q100 qualified, the MCUs are suited for applications in commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles.

Programmable power supplies that can deliver a variety of single output voltages from 5V to 60V and from 650W to 3000W of power are on sale at Luso Electronics. The Qualstar N2Power branded PL series is ideal for power hungry broadcast, storage and networking products. It is also suitable for the industrial, gaming and instrumentation markets employing increasingly energy intensive FPGAs, ASICs and microprocessors.

Microsemi has announced the RTG4 high-speed signal processing radiation-tolerant FPGA family. The RTG4’s reprogrammable flash technology offers complete immunity to radiation-induced configuration upsets in the harshest radiation environments, requiring no configuration scrubbing, unlike SRAM FPGA technology. RTG4 supports space applications requiring up to 150,000 logic elements and up to 300MHz of system performance.

The rise of configurability in MCU-based devices has increased the need for better graphical design tools. By Mark Saunders, Cypress Semiconductor.

Sercos International celebrates its 25th anniversary as well as 10 years of Sercos III technology.

Murata Power Solutions has announced the latest addition to the OKLP range of 'Power Block' products, theOKLP-X60-W12A-C 60A solution. Essentially a non-isolated buck converter without the PWM controller, this 'Power Block' concept sits between a discrete PoL design and that of a complete non-isolated buck converter module.

Designed for space-constrained, high temperature applications, a four-channel buck DC/DC converter with PMBus/I2C digital interface has been unveiled by Texas Instruments. Suited for small cell base stations, infotainment and solid state devices., the TPS65400 dual- or quad-output configurable DC/DC converter integrates eight power MOSFETs and features industry-leading efficiency at up to 95% in the smallest footprint.
