Ranking of the 2013 top-10 microprocessor suppliers
The 2014 McClean Report, from IC Insights, shows a ranking of the 2013 top-10 microprocessor suppliers (as well as the leading foundry, DRAM, flash, DSP, MCU, standard cell, analog, and PLD suppliers). A subset of this ranking listing the top 5 MPU suppliers is depicted in Figure 1. The $58.6bn (USD) microprocessor market was the largest single semiconductor product category in 2013, accounting for 22% of total IC sales.
Toolchain supports “Renesas Starter Kit” development suite
Renesas has revealed that IAR Systems' toolchain has full support for the RZ/A1 “Renesas Starter Kit” (RSK) development suite. Time-to-market can be significantly improved by selecting the right tool chain and software partners. Renesas is proud to announce that its RZ/A1 series of MPUs is fully supported by IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.
Device provides 32 output voltages with no external resistor
A ULDO linear regulator has been launched by X-REL, signalling an expansion of the company's power management portfolio. The XTR70010 high current, linear regulator has been designed for high-reliability, extreme temperature and extended lifetime power supply applications and can provide 32 different output voltages with no external resistor. The device can also operate as a capacitor-less regulator in applications where the output current does n...
SBC powered by Intel Celeron microprocessors
With the MS-98F6 DATA MODUL introduces a new 3.5in. SBC powered by the latest Intel Celeron N2930/J1900 processors, a system-on-chip (SoC) with the codenamed “Bay Trail”. Based on the 22nm Silvermont microarchitecture, these new processors are designed for intelligent systems and applications with low power consumption and high performance requirements.
Device delivers 100W output power in 2.9cm2 footprint
TheISL8240Mpower module has been launched by Intersil, with the company claiming the devicesets a new standard for efficiency and power density in infrastructure and embedded computing applications. Thedual 20A/single 40A step-down power module deliversup to 100W of output power in a 2.9cm2 footprint, whilst also providing more than 90%power efficiency.
Test platform embraces 8-bit microprocessors
Vector Software has developed a reduced footprint version of VectorCAST C/C++ which supports testing on target processors with limited memory. The optimised VectorCAST test harness can now fit on a variety of 8-bit microprocessors with less than 1k of RAM. The optimisations shrink program and static memory size, as well as dynamic memory and stack usage.
DC/DC regulator modules cut design-in time
Exclusive to RS Component is a new series of PCB-mount variable step-down regulator module ICs from Würth Elektronik. The MagI³C-VDRM modules comprise a fully integrated and low-EMI-noise current-mode DC/DC power supply that includes the switching power stage, passive components and control circuitry in a single low-profile and small-outline package, saving valuable design-in time for engineers and reducing time-to-market.
Rochester Electronics re-introduces the Intel 80960
The 80960MC 32-bit microprocessor was originally manufactured by Intel as an enhanced version of the i960 series and enjoyed great commercial success in a host of embedded applications.
Performance results announced for AEC Q200 capacitors
Performance results for KEMET'spolymer tantalum capacitors have been released. The capacitors have beendeveloped according to the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q200 Reliability Document, with the results announced atthe 2014 CARTS International Conference in Santa Clara, CA.
Hardened floating-point DSP blocks are IEEE 754-compliant
Altera is industry's first programmable logic company to integrate hardened IEEE 754-compliant, floating-point operators in an FPGA, delivering unparallelled levels of DSP performance, designer productivity and logic efficiency. The hardened floating point DSP blocks are integrated in Altera’s 20nm Arria 10 FPGAs and SoCs, as well as 14nm Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoCs.
