The next generation in voice codec has been introduced by CML Microcircuits, aimed at existing and emerging high quality digital voice applications in smart devices. The CMX655D marks a significant evolution in voice codecs, which brings greater integration at ultra-low power to enable advanced features in a wide range of applications.

  The Vienna rectifier power topology is used in high power, three-phase power factor correction applications such as offboard Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers and telecom rectifiers.

  A new brand ‘MUS-IC’, has been launched by ROHM, reflecting its focus on solutions for high-fidelity audio products. This branding covers a range of D/A converter ICs (DAC ICs), optimised for high-fidelity reproduction, and power supply products.

  Analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform solutions provider, MagnaChip Semiconductor, has announced the introduction of a new High-Voltage Super Junction MOSFET with a 900V breakdown voltage and low total gate charge (Qg) (‘90R1K4P’). 

With ACEPACK, ST Microelectronics has launched a series of adaptable, compact package power modules, which are easy to deploy. They are perfectly suited for simple, efficient and rugged industrial motor designs up to 30 kW. The power modules are now available in two versions, ACEPACK 1 and ACEPACK 2, from Rutronik UK.

The TPS650861 multi-rail PMIC from Texas Instruments (TI) is available from Mouser Electronics. Integrating three controllers to deliver power up to 30A using large external FETs, the configurable power management integrated circuit (PMIC) offers flexible power solutions for multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

  The TMDSILPFCKIT is a DIMM100 controlCARD based motherboard evaluation module which uses Piccolo F28035. The 2-Phase interleaved power factor correction kit is intended for designers working on high power AC to DC rectification systems.

  This reference design introduces a platform called Intelligent Industrial Internet (I3) Mote. The I3Mote is designed as an open and universal hardware platform targeting process/factory automation and building automation connectivity and sensing deployments. 

The F2803x Piccolo family of microcontrollers provides the power of the C28x core and Control Law Accelerator (CLA) coupled with highly integrated control peripherals in low pin-count devices. This family is code-compatible with previous C28x-based code, and also provides a high level of analog integration.

  The MSP430FR25x2 is a family of ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers (MCUs) for capacitive touch sensing that feature CapTIvate touch technology for cost-sensitive applications featuring one to 16 capacitive buttons or proximity sensing.
