To meet the increased demand for productivity in factories, Renesas has launched the RZ/T1 Group, a new factory automation solution with built-in industrial network functionality for use in many industrial applications such as AC servo drives, motion controllers, inverter control and general industrial equipment that require high speed, responsiveness, and excellent real-time performance.

Designed for non-intrusive and isolated nominal measurements of DC, AC and pulsed currents from 100 to 2000A, four series of transducers have been released by LEM. The company have developed a way in which to make Hall effect technology realise the performance achieved by fluxgate technology, resulting in an ASIC based on Hall effect technology for use in closed loop mode.

Sally Ward-Foxton investigates how more advanced process nodes are enabling performance enhancements in the latest-gen FPGA products.

The ZXY110 touch controller, a successor of the ZXY100, has been released by Zytronic. Enabling the company's self-capacitive p-cap (PCT) sensors to set benchmarks in responsiveness and precision, the device utilises a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 processor capable of running at speeds of 168MHz.

STMicroelectronics has extended its portfolio of environmental sensors with a MEMS pressure sensor that breaks new ground in combining high accuracy and robustness with small physical size; the LPS22HB is the world's smallest pressure sensor.

SiTimeannounces the completion of its acquisition byMegaChips. This closing follows the earlier announcement that SiTime had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by MegaChips for $200m in cash. SiTime will retain its name and operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips.

imec, iMinds, and their partners in the iMinds ICON-project CoPlaSM will present the results of a two-year project to realise and validate proof of concept of a multi-standard communication module for smart meters at the European Utility Week, Amsterdam (Nov 4-6). The sharp increase in decentralised renewable electricity production, such as the case with solar panels, creates the need for a smart two-way electricity grid.

Thermal Test Chips (TTCs) designed by JVD can be used to save time and money in the design and thermal management of ASICs and ASSPs, by allowing thermal engineering of components prior to investment in the expensive silicon required for production. With smaller, more powerful, faster devices thermal management is an ever-increasing concern for designers.

Providing current, power and energy monitoring of the intermediate bus input to Point-of-Load (PoL) converters, a four-channel PMBus digital power system manager has been released by Linear Technology. By providing the energy consumed, reported in joules, and the elapsed time through a PMBus interface, the LTC2975relieves computation and polling.

The founding members of the Architects of Modern Power (AMP) Consortium have incorporated three of Intersil's digital DC/DC controllers into digital POL DC/DC converters. High current loads are provided by the converters for high-end FPGAs and ASICs used in densely populated power supplies in servers, storage equipment and basestations.
