µModule regulator powers FPGAs, ASICs and MPUs
Configurable as a single (16A), dual (12A, 4A or 8A, 8A), triple (8A, 4A, 4A) or quad (4A each) output regulator, the LTM4644 step-down µModule regulator has been announced by Linear Technology. With this flexibility, system designers can use one compact µModule regulator to meet the voltage and load current requirements of FPGAs, ASICs and microprocessors.
Broader range for diverse applications
The proliferation of low-cost FPGAs now enable broader markets to benefit from MIPI DSI Displays and Application Processors. By Ted Marena, Director of Solutions Marketing, Business Development, Partner Solutions & IP, Lattice Semiconductor.
Building-in Bluetooth
There are three key design considerations when adopting Bluetooth: which version of Bluetooth to use, which profile or profiles to select and how to choose the right module for your application. David Potts, Technical Marketing Manager, Semiconductors, Anglia, explores further in this article from ES Design magazine.
Terminal manufacturer opts for rugged PCT touch sensors
A Korean manufacturer of fuel dispensing equipment, Korea EnE, has selected Zytronic's ZYBRID sensors for use in a range of self-service fuel dispensing terminals. The Multicom-Self terminals from EnE utilise Zytronic's Projected Capacitive Technology in aindustrial grade, bright (450cd/mm2 output), 15-inch touch display, whilst also featuring an Intel Atom microprocessor.
Meeting the demands of infotainment
Innovative circuit design is leading to more flexibility in power system design for automotive entertainment systems. By Nathan Hanagami, Design Engineer, Steve Knoth, Senior Product Marketing Engineer, & Marty Merchant, Applications Engineer, all from the Power Products Group of Linear Technology.
Server market revenues to grow 3% in 2014, says IC Insights
IC Insights has recently released the 2014 edition of 'IC Market Drivers - A Study of Emerging and Major End-Use Applications Fueling Demand for Integrated Circuits'. According to the report, price erosion and the weak global economy have lowered server sales volumes in the past two years, but this computer market is expected to see a modest rebound in 2014 with worldwide revenues rising about 3% to $54.6bn (USD), followed by stronger growth in 2...
Securing the Internet of Things
Traditional network and endpoint protection mechanisms are struggling today to protect our corporate IT infrastructure and computers. Adding the projected billions of nodes that will constitute the Internet of Things exacerbate the problem dramatically. By John Blevins, Director of Product Marketing, LynuxWorks.
Altera SDK for OpenCL supports IBM Power Systems
Altera have revealed that the newest release of its SDK for OpenCL now supports IBM Power Systems servers as an OpenCL system host. Users can now develop OpenCL code targetting IBM Power Systems CPUs and accelerator boards with Altera FPGAs as a high-performance compute solution. Compared to standard CPU based servers, FPGA users can see a five to twenty times performance increase for many applications.
Optocoupler guarantees minimum BCVEO of 80V
A new optocoupler from Lite-On is now available from distributor Rutronik. It consists of a high efficient AlGaAs light emitting diode and a high speed optical detector. This design provides excellent AC and DC isolation between input and output sides of the optocoupler.
