Ramtron has introduced the VersaKit-30xx, a complete and comprehensive evaluation platform that supports the VRS51L3074, Ramtron’s new fully integrated, high performance Versa 8051 microcontroller with 8KB of FRAM memory.

Semtech has announced the SX8801R, an ultra low power, high-resolution system-on-chip (SoC) for data acquisition from micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors in battery-powered consumer, medical and industrial systems.

Texas Instruments has announced that the POLA alliance has agreed to offer pin-compatible plug-in modules based on TI's T2 non-isolated, power modules with ultra-fast transient response.

Texas Instruments has announced its Consumer Electronics WLAN Developer Kit (CE WLAN DK) 2.0. which provides manufacturers with the systems-level building blocks they need to add Wi-Fi connectivity to battery-operated devices from digital still cameras and portable media players (PMPs) to emerging communications and entertainment applications.

National Instruments has announced what is said to be the industry’s first dual-core PXI embedded controller with the 2.0 GHz Intel Core™ Duo processor T2500 for multitasking environments and multithreaded applications. The dual-core PXI controller improves the performance of multithreaded applications up to 100 percent versus single-core PXI controllers with the same processor clock rate.

The SPC 5 and SPC 16 spring-cage plug connectors from Phoenix Contact offer an easy-to-install and time-saving solution for wiring in PCB connection technology. Both plug connectors are designed with a combi/spring, spring-cage connector for direct tool-free connection to the PCB.

Dataman has launched a range of universal programmers that connect to a PC via a USB 2.0 port.

Requiring a single external resistor to very accurately set its output current, the ZXLD1350 from Zetex Semiconductors simplifies high power LED driving. Operating from an input supply of between 7V and 30V, the driver can produce an adjustable output current of up to 350mA, to support an LED chain of up to eight 1W LEDs.

A new RF development platform, the SMT8101, has been launched by Sundance Multiprocessor Technology. Combining the technology of four boards in one PCI (full and compact) compatible board, it promises to boost rapid prototyping and help development teams to get their products into production and to market quickly. It is also available in VME and stand-alone forms.

Fairchild Semiconductor has expanded its Smart Power Module portfolio by adding 50 and 75A-rated Motion-SPM devices targeting 5kW to 7.5kW commercial and industrial inverter motor designs. Fairchild now offers designers SPM products covering the full inverter motor power range from 50W to 7.5kW.
