Altera customers achieve double core performance
Altera's Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC customers are successfully achieving the anticipated two times core performance gain in their designs compared to previous generation high-performance programmable devices. The company is working closely with several early access customers in multiple markets to benchmark their next-generation designs using Stratix 10 FPGA performance evaluation tools.
Qualified IP blocks reduce risk of silicon re-spins
Helping minimisethe risk of the need for silicon re-spins forfoundry (GDS2) interface customers, ON Semiconductor has made available aqualified IPon its proprietary ONC18 180nm process technology. Minimising the risk of silicon re-spins willtherefore help reduce development costs and shorten time-to-market for new designs.
ASIC-based current transducers extend range to 250A
PCIM 2014: Three HO series open-loop, Hall-effect ASIC-based current transducers have been released by LEM. They have a wide operating range of -40 to +105̊C. Stéphane Rollier says that the transducers are the only ones in the industry to offer over-current protection.The versatile devices offer a range of mounting options, PCB, panel or bus bar, and exploiting the aperture which measures 15 x 8mm, for cables and clamps.
ECP5 FPGA Family
The ECP5 FPGA Family breaks the rule that all FPGAs should be the highest density, power hungry, and expensive. With a focus on compact, high volume applications, Lattice optimized the ECP5 architecture for low cost, small form factor and low power consumption. These characteristics make the ECP5 devices ideal for delivering programmable connectivity solutions to complement ASICs and ASSPs.

Singer will present “High Throughput, Low Latency Ethernet Security with MACsec” on April 30 at 9:50am, as part of the Security Session.
Oscillators meet transmission rates of modern data networks
In addition to the recently released LVPECL version, Fox Electronics introduce an LVDS version of its next generation ultra precision oscillator technology, XpressO-ULTRA. Designed to meet today’s intense bandwidth requirements that need ultra precision timing technology, theoscillator provides exceptionally clean and stable clocking to ensure better performance and lower bit rate errors.
PMBus power system manager features ±0.25% voltage accuracy
Adding extensive digital control and monitoring to an analog power system, the LTM2987 highly integrated 16-channel µModule PMBus power system manager has been introduced by Linear Technology. Software-based configuration and measurement of power system performance reduces time to market, enhances system reliability and enables finely optimised board energy consumption.
FPGA family 'breaks the rules' of conventional FPGAs
Reducing development risk and quickly overcoming time-to-market challenges, theECP5 FPGA family claims that it 'breaks the rules' ofconventional FPGA approaches to deliver a SERDES-based solution for designers. The device family, from Lattice Semiconductor, rapidly add features and functions to complement those delivered by ASICs and ASSPs. The devices are designed forsmall-cell, microserver, broadband access, industrial video and other high-volu...
