Rohde & Schwarz, Fujitsu extend chip development
Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe (FSEU) and Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) have extended their long-standing cooperation to focus on developing a customised System on Chip (SoC) using a production technology of 28nm. This SoC will be used in Rohde & Schwarz test and measurement instruments.
Application-specific systems shown at embedded world
At the embedded world 2015, 24 to 26 February in Nuremberg, MAZeT will exhibit its range of services and products for the development and manufacture of user-specific embedded systems at Booth 446 in Hall 1. Demonstrations will include wireless LED colour control, intelligent HMIs and ASIC design.
Sensors suit mobile & wearable applications
Tronics Microsystems has expanded its business model to high volumes markets with the licensing of its Magelan and M&NEMS technologies. The products manufactured on these platforms offer key differentiators, from inertial sensors enhancement to the combination of all measurement types on a single chip, paving the way for new fields of application, in particular for the mobile and wearable devices market.
1.5GHz, 2GHz models expand oscilloscope family
Rohde & Schwarz has added two- and four-channel 1.5GHz and 2GHz bandwidth models to its RTE family of oscilloscopes. It expands the family’s bandwidth range from 200MHz to 2GHz. The oscilloscopes also offer 5 Gsample/s sampling rate per channel and up to 200 Msample memory; even long signal sequences can be analysed accurately, right down to the details.
FPGA speeds time-to-market of mobile devices
Designed to speed the time-to-market of mobile devices, the iCE40 UltraLite FPGA has been released by Lattice Semiconductor. Measuring 1.4x1.4mm, the device is 68% smaller than its closest competitor. The FPGA, which features built-in hardened IPs and LED drivers, also requires 30% less power than its closest competitor. The device’s small footprint, high level of integration and low power consumption allow manufacturer’s to easily ad...
Semiconductors for wearable medical devices
How developing medical sensor interfaces using a semi-customisable System-in-Package (SiP) approach can result in smaller devices for the wearable age. By Jakob Nielsen, Sr. Manager, Consumer Health Product Line, ON Semiconductor.
Designing proper circuit protection for wearables
As consumers become increasingly dependent on wearables, circuit designers are tasked with incorporating advanced circuit protection technologies that safeguard the device as well as the user. Without proper protection, the device’s sensor circuits, battery-charging interfaces, buttons or data I/Os could be irreparably damaged by ESD that is often caused by close interaction with the user.
CAN transceiver features ±60V overvoltage fault protection
To reduce field failures without the need for costly external protection devices, Linear Technology has released the LTC2875 CAN transceiver. In practical CAN systems, installation cross-wiring faults, ground voltage faults or lightning induced surge voltages can cause overvoltage conditions that exceed absolute maximum ratings of typical transceivers.
Flash with error correction supports the latest technologies
Can Flash with built-in error correction support the latest Flash technology without more complex 4-bit or 8-bit ECC? By Eugen Pfumfel, Principal Engineer, Memory Marketing, Toshiba Electronics Europe.
Virtual-ASIC processor is ready for UHD video
Calibre has announced a virtual-ASIC video processor capable of scaling, switching, enhancing, correcting and converting UHD formats including 4K and WQXGA. Based on Altera FPGAs, Calibre’s virtual-ASIC technologywill be offered as Calibre Pro-AV products as well as own-label, board-level and custom options for OEMs, enabling rapid creation of products for the professional AV industry as UHD video formats are adopted.
