Fairchild today introduces an ultra-compact, next-generation,integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution, designated thesmart power stage module family. Ideal forapplications such as synchronous buck DC-DC converters in high-performance computing and telecom, the SPS family utilisesFairchild’s DrMOS expertise to deliver high efficiency, high power density and high switching frequency.

Based on the Digital Control Architecture from Powervation, the first in a series of PoL non-isolated DC-DC converters has been announced today by Murata. Designed to address the industry’s growing requirement for low voltages and fast transient respnse times, the DOSA compatible OKLF 25A PoL is ideal for powering the latest FPGAs and ASICs used in networking, telecommunications and computing applications.

The LTC3774, a current-mode dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller, has been announced by Linear. The LTC3774 enables use of very low DC resistance (DCR) power inductors by enhancing the current-sense signal. Power inductor DCRs down to 0.2 milliohms can be utilized to maximize converter efficiency (up to 95%), increase power density and reduce the output ripple voltage in high current applications.

Two new AEC Qualified ICs have today been unveiled by ON Semiconductor. The NCV8876non-synchronous boost controller and NCV896530dual channel step-down DC-DC converter are highly optimized for automotive powertrain and in-cabin deployment due to their wide input voltage range and extensive operational temperature range.

Known as Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) or shuttle run, ams has updated the schedule of the IC prototyping service for 2014. Combining several designs from different customers onto a single wafer, the prototyping service offers significant cost advantages for foundry customers as the costs for wafers and masks are shared among a number of different shuttle participants.

The Lattice HetNet Solutions Portfolio provides a portfolio of programmable solutions for building smart, low-power cellular equipment needed to support the global rollout of Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet). Announced today, the Portfolio will allow system designers to implement best-in-class solutions for connectivity, control path and power management while accelerating their development with system-level reference designs for multi-mode LTE sm...

Measurement Specialties has today announced the launch of the 89BSD, a small profile, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor housed in a rugged 316L stainless steel package. In addition to its backside, headerless design that enables a compact 9 mm diameter, the new sensor is also low cost for budget-conscious applications.

Murata today announced the SCA720 series of analog MEMS accelerometers aimed specifically at electrically controlled suspension and engine anti-vibration applications. Measuring only 7.0 x 8.6 z 3.3 mm and constructed from a single crystal silicon, the sensor is mechanically robust and has no deformation up to 70 000g. The accelerometer’s 3D structure employs capacitive sensing techniques that give it extremely sensitive measurement charact...

Tackling rising network traffic with high-performance deep packet inspection for increased security and intelligent packet handling. Steve Konish, Director of Product Management, Communication Platforms, Wind River, discusses further in this ES Design magazine article.

Fox Electronics has released the next generation of XpressO technology, XpressO-Ultra. The improved phase noise and reduced jitter of the new XpressO-Ultra Series enables the oscillators to be effectively used in a variety of modern high-speed data applications over an extended operating temperature range of-40°C to +85°C.
