Fujitsu: 1-Mbit FRAM product with
I2C interface
Fujitsu Semiconductor releases MB85RC1MT,
its new 1-Mbit FRAM product with I²C inter-
face. The new product represents the highest
memory capacity of the company’s line-up
for the I2C serial interface. MB85RC1MT is
offered in an industry-standard SOP-8 package
that is pin-compatible with EEPROM and
Flash memory. Featuring high endurance and
low power consumption, the FRAM product
enables frequent logging at low power, which
is a perfect fit for factory automation and in-
dustrial instrument applications.

IDT: WPC 1.1 and PMA 1.1 dual-mode
wireless power receiver
Integrated Device Technology announced a
dual-mode wireless power receiver compatible
with both the Wireless Power Consortium’s
(WPC) 1.1 Qi standard, as well as the Power
Matter’s Alliance (PMA) 1.1 standard. The in-
novative solution enables OEMs to use a single

iC-Haus: speedy sine evaluation at x1000
interpolation factor
For optical and magnetic length gauges fea-
turing decimal gratings, iC-MQF offers a sine
resolution of up to 4000 edges. The circuit
incorporates a signal conditioning analog
front end, a vector-tracking converter for
real-time conversion without latency, as well
as fault-tolerant RS422 driver stages which
output the incremental signals. Reverse po-
larity protection is also embedded and covers
all cable connections. Differential or refer-
enced input signals from a few millivolts up-
wards can be connected up, such as those
coming from MR bridge sensors or photo
sensors, for which alternatively also a low
impedance can be selected.
