TI: small and low power battery
management solution for
wearables and IoT products
Texas Instruments introduced a highly inte-
grated battery management solution present-
ing the industry’s lowest quiescent current at
700-nA with the buck converter, operating
at 1.8V. The bq25120 features a linear char-
ger, configurable LDO, load switch, buck con-
verter, pushbutton control and battery voltage
monitor all in one. The solution supports bat-
teries from 3.6-V to 4.65-V, and fast charge
currents from 5-mA to 300-mA, allowing
wearables and industrial Internet of Things
applications to always be on without draining
the battery.
Mouser: ultra-low-power
STM32L4 microcontrollers
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the new
STM32L4 series 32-bit microcontrollers from
STMicroelectronics. These ultra-low-power
STM32L4 32-bit microcontrollers are based
on the high-performance ARM Cortex-M4
32-bit RISC core operating at a frequency of
up to 80MHz. The STM32L4 micro-control-
lers leverage ST’s low power technologies
including voltage scaling to balance power
consumption with processing demand and
include seven low-power management modes
to give designers flexibility to optimize power
consumption in a broad range of applications.
Cadence: memory model for LPDDR5
simplifies SoC verification
Cadence Design Systems announced the
Cadence Memory Model for the LPDDR5
standard. This new verification IP product
enables engineers to verify that system-on-
chip designs are compliant with the JEDEC
interface standard, and that they can operate
correctly in a system with the actual mem-
ory components. Validation of designs using
the LPDDR5 memory model reduces the risk
of mistakes, rework and delayed production,
leading to faster production ramp-up and
higher product quality.
Fujitsu: extended lifecycle boards
are particularly energy-efficient
For semi-industrial use Fujitsu provides the
new mainboard D3402-B and D3417-B of
the Extended Lifecycle Series. These models
support the new, 6th generation Intel Core
processors. Like the mainboards of the Clas-
sic Desktop Series they also allow the use of
DDR4 memory, which is characterized by a
significant increase in performance. The 100er
series of Intel chipsets enables the use of more
powerful CPUs with a simultaneous reduc-
tion of power consumption.
Rutronik includes product portfolio
of International Rectifier
With effect from August 01, 2015, Rutronik
Elektronische Bauelemente is also a franchise
distributor for the product portfolio of Interna-
tional Rectifier (IR). Following the acquisition
by Infineon of International Rectifier, Infineon
and Rutronik have expanded their partnership
to include the additional IR product portfolio.
MSC: monolithic high-speed CMOS
DDR3L SDRAM from Alliance
MSC Technologies presents a new mono-
lithic high-speed, low-voltage CMOS dou-
ble data rate 3 synchronous DRAM (DDR3L
SDRAM) with an 8-Gb density in the 96-ball,
9-mm by 14-mm, lead-free FBGA package
from Alliance. Featuring state-of-the art sili-
con provided by Micron Technology, Inc., the
AS4C512M16D3L (512M x 16) offers a double
data rate architecture for extremely fast trans-
fer rates of up to 1600 Mbps/pin and clock
rates of 800 MHz.
Infineon Security Partner Network
makes IoT security easily accessible
Infineon Technologies leaps forward in bring-
ing security to the Internet of Things. The
company launched the Infineon Security Part-
ner Network (ISPN) to make proven semicon-
ductor-based security easily accessible to the
growing number of manufacturers of con-
nected devices and systems. The ISPN con-
nects IoT security players with outstanding
expertise in specific applications and markets.
FTDI Chip: hardware supports
development and implementation
of FT90X Super-Bridge MCUs
FTDI Chip has introduced a series of easy-
to-utilize modules to facilitate the evaluation,
development and subsequent implementa-
tion of its 32-bit FT90X Super-Bridge MCUs.
This will mean that engineers in the embed-
ded space are better positioned to benefit
from the industry-leading performance levels
and extensive connectivity that these highly
advanced ICs are able to deliver.
Telit selected for smart utility meter
project in the Netherlands
Telit has secured a commitment valued at
more than US$30 million to supply CDMA
450 MHz modules to one of the leading smart
meter vendors for a Netherlands project. The
Telit IoT modules are at the core of a new gen-
eration of smart electricity meters that Dutch
utility companies will deploy nationwide over
five years starting in 2016 with most of the
shipments front-loaded in the initial years.
Toshiba: three new microcontrollers
optimised for USB
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched
three new microcontrollers optimised for
use in USB devices. The TMPM066FWUG,
TMPM067FWQG, and TMPM068FWXBG
are the latest additions to Toshiba’s ARM Cor-
tex-M0 core based TX00 series and feature
integrated USB controllers.
Silicon Labs meets VOIP market
demand with PROSLIC devices
Silicon Labs introduced a new family of sub-
scriber line interface circuits (SLICs) offering the
lowest power consumption, smallest footprint,
and highest levels of integration and program-
mability for the voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateway
market. Silicon Labs’ single- and dual-chan-
nel Si32x8x ProSLIC family provides a best-
in-class subscriber line interface solution for a
wide range of VoIP customer premises equip-
ment including cable gateways, xDSL integrated
access devices, xPON optical network terminals,
fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building
(FTTB) and wireless fixed terminals.
