CT-Concept Technologie has launched a new dual-channel IGBT-driver core which can handle voltages of up to 4.5 kV. Featuring transformer-based signal isolation - rather than more expensive fibre-optic technology - and an on-board power supply, the new 2SC0635T units are cost-effective, compact and reliable.

Samsung has announced the industry's first 45 nanometre embedded flash logic process development. Samsung successfully implemented the new process into the smart card test chip, which means that this process technology fulfils the stringent quality requirements of the security solution market and can be successfully deployed on a commercial scale.

Imec, together with its partners STFC and Fraunhofer IIS, have today announced that the European Commission has pledged to continue funding the Europractice IC services for another 3 years under the FP7 program. Europractice IC services also supports companies in the assembly and testing phase. Over the next three years, the service will expand its offering from ASIC services to prototyping possibilities in MEMS and photonics-related technologies...

Texas Instruments have unveiled their second-quarter revenue of $3.05 billion, net income of $660 million and earnings per share of 58 cents. Results include a gain associated with the transfer of wireless connectivity technology to a customer and higher-than-expected charges associated with previously announced restructuring. The net impact of these items was a benefit of 16 cents to EPS.

Synopsys reveal availability of its 28-nanometer DesignWare data converter IP portfolio,which includes analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters and integrated PLLs. Implementing Synopsys' new data converter architecture in the 28-nm process node resulted in up to 76 percent reduction in power consumption and up to 86 percent reduction in area use, which reduces system costs for wireless networking and mobile communications syste...

Xilinx unveil that at the middle of Mobilicom's new MCU-30 software-defined radio is Xilinx's Zynq-7030 All Programmable System-on-a-Chip, a member of Xilinx's Zynq-7000 family. Mobilicom's MCU-30 SDR is a very small, flexible, light-weight, battery-powered wireless radio that can be embedded into a wide variety of devices – from security cameras to public safety – to provide broadband connectivity for disaster relief, surveillance, m...

Couldn’t get to Nuremberg in time for this spring’s PCIM (power control, intelligent motion) exhibition? Here’s a digested summary of the most compelling new products and other interesting developments from the show. Sally Ward-Foxton rounds up the most interesting MOSFETs, excellent IGBTs and the best of the rest from PCIM 2013.

Broadly speaking, FPGAs are designed for either ‘high-performance’ applications or ‘everything else’ and as a result most FPGA vendors compete in the ‘everything else’ category. ES Design Magazine Editor, Philip Ling takes a look behind the latest announcements to see if we can expect a redistribution of wealth.

ON Semiconductor have collaboratively developed and released to production a complex Application Specific Integrated Circuit for the A350 XWB Flight Control Computer. Code named JEKYLL, this custom silicon solution was designed using ON Semiconductor’s internal 110 nanometer process technology and manufactured at the company’s Gresham, Oregon, facility. Completion of the JEKYLL project reflects a successful collaboration from feasibil...

Alf-Egil Bogen, Chief Marketing Officer of Energy Micro, talks about the migration from AVR to ARM based microcontrollers over decades. It is interesting to see how microprocessor architectures have gone from being a significant differentiator to being a “not important” factor. Being one of the inventors of the AVR the transition to ARM has been a long journey. How long will this trend last and what is next?
