Citizen Watch are integrating Lattice Semiconductor's iCE40 FPGAs into it's Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F100 wristwatch. To enable the watch to display the correct time, the FPGA picks up the precise-time information from the input data of the GPS satellite signal receiver and generates control signals.

Peterborough based Garford Farm Machinery designs and manufactures advanced environmentally sustainable agricultural equipment that solves large scale weed control and crop cultivation for farming worldwide. Its ‘Robocrop’ range employs a specially developed precision guided vision system – for weeding, hoeing or spraying - that uses real-time digital image analysis in conjunction with a hydraulic servo ‘sideshift’ a...

A dual-phase, DC/DC digital PWM controller, designated the ZL8801, has been introduced by Intersil. Capable of sharing current across multiple devices, the controller's range can be extended up to 300A for high-end FPGAs and ASICs employed in densely populated power supplies in servers, storage equipment and basestations.

Featuring a fixed 650kHz switching frequency and a wide input voltage range of 4.5-15V, Vishay Intertechnology has announced the SiP12116 integrated synchronous buck regulator. This 3A device is suited for PoL regulation and 5 and 12V rails in space-constrained computing, consumer electronics, telecomms and industrial applications.

According to data from IC Insights’ Mid-Year Update to the 2014 McClean Report, the Asia-Pacific region is forecast to increase its share of the ASIC market 17percentage points from 2004 to 2014. IC Insights has also forecast it to the only region to significantly increase in ASIC marketshare.

In order to meet the advanced clocking requirements in modern vehicle systems, Fox Electronics has expanded its XpressO product line to include three sizes of automotive-grade, HCMOS oscillators featuring the same exceptionally low jitter as the rest of the series. These models conform to AEC-Q200 requirements, making them suited for automotive applications.

The emergence of pervasive connectivity - and the resultant volumes of data that creates - could be changing the landscape for embedded electronics, meaning the old mandate of ‘faster, smaller, cheaper’ may soon just read ‘faster’. Philip Ling, Editor, ES Design magazine, reports.

New technology means design teams can now build a line card on a chip and tailor their hardware for specific network services and applications. By Mike Santarini, Xilinx.

The world's first video compressiontraining, focusing on the VESA DSCstandard, is being offered by Hardent. The training will help engineers and designers understand the latest video compression technology andthe practical implications of designing a product compatible with the VESA DSC v1.1 video compression standard.

A prototyping tool which speeds time-to-market, has been introduced by Cadence. Protium is an expansion of the Cadence PalladiumXP II suite. Built using Xilinx Virtex-7 2000T FPGAs,the prototyping toolprovides automated memory compilation, external bulk memory support, and RTL name preservation throughout the flow, which minimises FPGA bring-up steps, thereby speeding up time-to-market.
