Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced that digital television design house TVonics has developed a new module design targeted at terrestrial iDTV applications using one of the company’s digital video broadcast (DVB) system-on-chip (SoC) processors.

Use of logic ICs in consumer, communication, industrial and other applications is constantly increasing, with many designs typically using separate logic ICs to deliver the various logic functions. Now, however, Toshiba offers a configurable IC solution that enables parallel implementation of three different logic functions in a single package.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched two new small signal, high-efficiency p-channel MOSFETs that combine high current switching functionality with low ON-resistance, low voltage operation and ultra-compact form factors. The new MOSFETs address requirements of mobile phones, portable navigation systems and other handheld devices, which are constantly offering new functionalities that eventually lead to an increase in total power consumption. ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the further expansion of its Dynastron CMOS image sensor product line with the addition of two new devices: the 3.2-megapixel ET8EE6-AS CMOS image sensor and 2.0-megapixel ET8EF2-AS CMOS image sensor SoC with integrated image-signal processor (ISP).

Toshiba has expanded its family of embedded systems tools with the launch of a low-cost and compact ‘all-in-one’ emulator for the development of applications based on the company’s low-power TLCS-870/C 8-bit microcontrollers.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a Starter Kit that will help engineers to rapidly and cost-effectively develop and prototype applications based on the company’s latest 16-bit SuperFlash microcontroller.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a new 8-bit microcontroller core. Designated TLCS-870/C1, the new core is capable of processing one instruction cycle in a single clock cycle, enabling faster processing at lower frequencies, reduced noise and lower power consumption compared with Toshiba’s previous 8-bit core. Its large-capacity address space is expandable to 128 Kbytes.
