FPGAs

Lattice Semiconductor unveil the iCE40 LP384 FPGA, the smallest member of its expanding iCE40 family of ultra-low density FPGAs. Enabling designers to rapidly add new features and differentiate cost-sensitive, space-constrained, low-power products, the new small footprint FPGA is ideal for applications such as portable medical monitors, smartphones, digital cameras, eReaders, and compact embedded systems.

Achronix is shipping the industry-leading Speedster22i HD1000 FPGA to customers. Built on Intel’s advanced 22nm, 3-D Tri-Gate transistor technology, Speedster22i HD devices consume half the power and are half the cost of competitive high-end FPGAs for targeted high bandwidth applications. They are the only FPGAs with a full suite of hardened interface IP including 10/40/100G Ethernet, 100Gbps Interlaken, PCI Express Gen1/2/3 and 2.133 Gbps ...

Future Technology Devices International Limited has further expanded its X-Chip series of feature-rich USB-to-serial interface chips with the introduction of the ultra-compact FT234XD. Contained in a 3mm x 3mm 12-pin DFN package that is optimised for smaller PCB designs, this highly integrated UART interface IC allows asynchronous serial data transfer - supporting data transfer rates from 300 bits/s to 3 Mbits/s.

Continuing the rapid expansion of its standard logic product line, Diodes Incorporated has announced the availability of more package options added to its four families of high-speed and advanced high-speed CMOS parts. Provided in a choice of SO14 and TSSOP14 packages, the HC, HCT, AHC and AHCT logic families each offer 10 of the most popular logic functions in quad and hex configurations.

Microsemi today introduced the addition of the Extended Flow to its RT ProASIC3 field programmable gate array (FPGA) device family, providing additional screening options and a higher level of reliability assurance required in many critical space applications.

EBV Elektronik is introducing five exciting new semiconductor devices. The new devices, named Driver, Hermes, Hunter, SolexDrive and vTaric are each suited for dedicated applications in motion control, metering communications, isolated current measurement for FPGAs, solenoid actuation and automotive alternator regulation.

Microsemi has today announced the release of the new SmartFusion2 system-on-chip field programmable gate array family. Microsemi’s next-generation SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs are designed to address fundamental requirements for advanced security, high reliability and low power in critical industrial, defence, aviation, communications and medical applications.

Diodes Incorporated unveils a family of single gate logic devices designed to save power and space in a broad range of portable consumer electronic products, including cell phones, e-readers and tablet computers. Manufactured on a 3V advanced ultra low-power CMOS process, the 74AUP1G logic is pin compatible with industry-standard parts while offering a package height advantage through its miniature DFN package options.

M/A-COM Tech has today announced the release of a new High Voltage CMOS Driver for PIN diodes for use in military and commercial radio applications. The MADR-010574 is designed to work with M/A-COM Tech’s high power and high voltage PIN diodes. This driver supports series-shunt and all-series diode designs by biasing four diodes simultaneously.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. announced today a new Transmit/Receive module Driver IC which provides 6-Bit serial/parallel logic control and T/R switch control for multifunction T/R modules. The MADR-010410 is an efficient CMOS driver and ideal for logic control of GaAs based T/R modules as well as a 6-Bit S/P driver for attenuators or phase shifters.
