STMicroelectronics has extended its strategy supporting competitively priced high-performing STBs by unveiling two new System-on-Chip ICs that allow standard-definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) equipment to share the same printed-circuit-board (PCB) design and leverage software developed for earlier product generations.

STMicroelectronics has announced a hard-disk drive (HDD) motor-control chip intended for demanding enterprise-level HDD applications. The new L7220 controller integrates all of the circuits required to drive both the spindle motor and the voice-coil motor (VCM), plus the motor drive power FETs and multiple high-efficiency voltage regulators. It continues and complements ST’s HDD controller family, which includes the L7207 HDD controller for mob...

STMicroelectronics has announced new devices that combine EMI filtering and ESD protection in a single ultra-compact package, enabling system designers to implement both functions within a footprint of 0.6mm2. Until now, the smallest available components have required this much board space for ESD protection alone.

The Bergquist Company has extended its Gap Pad S-Class range of thermally conductive gap-filling products with the announcement of Gap Pad 5000S35. The new material provides an industry-leading combination of specifications, including thermal conductivity, softness, robustness and ease-of-use, for demanding applications such as cooling laptop CPUs, graphics processors and cards, CD-ROM drives, and voltage regulators.

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) today announced a single-chip microcontroller solution intended for both PC-integrated and freestanding smart-card applications resulting from a partnership agreement with Gemalto – a world leader in digital security and the world’s leading supplier of smart-card readers*. The new ST7GEM is a secure MCU in ST’s ST7 family, pre-programmed with smart-card interface software from Gemalto, and requiring the additi...

STMicroelectronics has announced multiple software platform availability and new hardware features of its STn8815 application processor, the third–generation product in the company’s award-winning Nomadik family. The Nomadik processor is available to leading handset makers to develop the next-generation of mobile multimedia products with a choice of leading software platforms, including Symbian OS/S60, Linux, Windows Mobile and Windows Embedd...

SiGe Semiconductor has announced the SE2559L, an RF front-end module designed to improve integration and reduce cost of Wi-Fi systems compliant to the 802.11b/g specification. The new RF front-end is based on a highly integrated architecture that is about 60 percent smaller than competitive products. With high feature integration, the SE2559L eliminates several external components, allowing manufacturers to reduce the bill of materials cost for 8...

QuickLogic has announced a new customer specific standard product (CSSP) platform for applications in mobile and portable products. PolarPro II extends the popular PolarPro ultra low power programmable device concept with a more flexible I/O structure, increased responsiveness for its Very Low Power (VLP) standby mode, more configuration flexibility for the device's embedded SRAM, plus other new features to reduce PCB space and system bill-of-ma...

QuickLogic is showcasing the design flexibility that is enabled by its Customer Specific Standard Product (CSSP) technology during Mobile World Congress, by showing real-life OEM/ODM products and demonstration systems. Some of the consumer and prosumer products on display include:

Fujitsu Components has added a slim, 20A power relay to its product range that is targeted primarily at manufacturers developing commercial and industrial products.
