Researchers at the Italian National Research Council (SPIN-CNR) and the Italian National Enterprise for nanoScience and nanoTechnology (NEST-CNR) claim to have devised an inexpensive way to turn low frequency signals into higher frequencies.The approach makes use of a Josephson junction, currently used to make extremely sensitive voltmeters and...

Hitaltech has been appointed as an authorised distributor for Omron Electronic Components. As part of the deal, Hitaltech will offer Omron’s range of FPC-FFC connectors, including the XF3M, pictured, said to be ideal for applications requiring a connection between an LCD panel and a PCB or for other board to board connections.“We ar...

Conrad Business Supplies has extended its range of power supplies and supporting accessories, with the addition of more than 650 products from Delta Electronics. The company’s product range is said to offer high efficiency performance in applications requiring a wide input voltage range.Delta Electronics provides high performance off the...

Said to be the first 80A fully encapsulated digital DC/DC PMBus power module that provides point of load (POL) conversions for FPGAs, DSPs, ASICs, processors and memory, the ISL8273M is a complete step down regulated power supply that operates from 5V or 12V power rails.Multi-phase current sharing of up to four ISL8273M power modules enables po...

A new series of ARM Cortex-A5 based microprocessors has been launched by Atmel, which says the devices deliver the lowest power consumption of all MPUs in its class. Called the SAMA5D2 series, the parts are said to consume less than 200µA in retention mode with context preserved and to wake up in 30µs. Called the SAMA5D2 series...

CRFS is launching the latest additions to its RFeye node family at DSEI 2015. The RFeye family has been designed for continuous remote monitoring of the spectrum, providing real time information on spectrum use, as well as the ability to map, display and analyse high volumes of data. The devices support direction finding and radio geolocation techn...

Continental will presented a left-turn assist based on Vehicle-to-X (V2X) technology in the outdoor area of the New Mobility World at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). The technology issues an audible and visual warning to alert the driver of an impending collision due to the presence of a hidden approaching vehicle during a left-turn manoeuvre. Auto...

Researchers from Corning Incorporated, the Physics Department at the University of Nebraska, the US Army Research Laboratory and the Naval Research Laboratory have made steps in developing a new magnetic memory technology, which is less susceptible to corruption by magnetic fields or thermal exposure than conventional memory. The findings open up a...

MIT researchers have unveiled what they claim is the first fundamentally new approach to cache coherence in more than three decades. The development – called Tardis – is said to respond to the need for a more efficient way of maintaining cache coherence in many core devices.In order to know which cores have copies of which data, man...

Freescale semiconductor has released the QorlQ LS1043A residential gateway, claimed to be the industry’s first 10Gbit/s Internet and 10Gbit/s Wi-Fi enabled home gateway solution aimed at driving multi-gigabit broadband access toward mainstream adoption.The QorlQ LS1043A was developed in collaboration with Quantenna Communications and feat...
