STMicroelectronics has introduced two secure microcontrollers designed specifically for high-volume 2.5G and 3G (third-generation) mobile-phone SIM cards. The ST21Y036 and ST21Y144 provide 36 Kbytes and 144 Kbytes of user EEPROM, respectively, and they join the ST21Y068, which was announced towards the end of 2006 and is already in volume production. Based on an enhanced 8/16-bit CPU core with up to 16-Mbytes linear addressing capability, the fa...

Colour displays are being used more and more frequently for displaying image information in consumer applications. Customers expect to find displays in appliances such as coffee machines, door phones, microwave ovens and washing machines etc. In order to help manufacturers of, e.g., white goods and other household and CE-devices to produce functional and aesthetically appealing HMIs with the lowest possible development costs, Sharp is offering so...

QuickLogic announces that the one million gate version of PolarPro, the industry's lowest power programmable logic technology, is now available in a mil-spec temperature rating. This innovative programmable device, incorporating embedded memory with built-in FIFO control, and advanced clock management control units, offers unparalleled design security.

Keeping its commitment to the industrial, military and high reliability market, QuickLogic has now achieved volume production of its PolarPro QL1P1000 in a mil-spec temperature rating. QL1P1000 integrates one million gates of the industry's lowest-power configurable logic technology, together with embedded memory built-in FIFO control, and advanced clock management control units.

Aldec, Inc., in collaboration with SynthWorks Design Inc., today announces the availability of Open Source - VHDL Verification Methodology (OS-VVM™), underscoring the partnership’s commitment to provide continued support to the VHDL design community.

Texas Instruments has announced the TMS320C6727B DSP, its highest performing floating-point DSP running at 350 MHz. Available today, the C6727B DSP is tuned for performance hungry applications for which a significant speed increase will impact OEM's ability to create unique and advanced product offerings, including high quality audio conferencing, multi-channel audio systems, audio broadcast biometric and industrial solutions. TI's floating-point...

Texas Instruments has introduced a highly integrated audio codec in full production with leading consumer electronics companies to help them meet growing consumer demand for cost-efficient, feature-rich products with better audio quality and longer battery life. The 1.8-V codec combines integrated power management and dual miniDSP audio processing engines to save designers total audio solution cost and make it easier to design advanced audio feat...

Embedded control engineers prefer the simplified programming provided by floating-point architectures, but are often deterred by the higher cost. Addressing this paradox, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced what is said to be the first fixed-point digital signal controllers (DSCs) that are entirely compatible in hardware and software with high-performance floating-point DSCs. TI’s new TMS320F282x series of DSCs combine the a...

Continuing to drive the adoption of DSP technology in the next generation of digital video applications, Texas Instruments has released the TMS320DM6437 Digital Video Development Platform (DVDP) for its DM643x digital media processors announced last quarter. The DM6437 DVDP brings the complete DaVinciT technology development environment to these processors by bundling a full TMS320DM6437 evaluation module (EVM) with a complete suite of DaVinci de...
