Russian push towards Spintronics

Russian push towards Spintronics

Researchers from the Moscow Institute  of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and the Russian Quantum Centre, have demonstrated a method of exciting magnetic vortices which could help enable spintronics. Magnetic vortices are microscopic areas of magnetized material with uniquely arranged magnetization vectors. In the centre of the vortex, the magnetization vector is oriented perpendicularly to the ...

EnSilica to port ThreadX RTOS to its cores

EnSilica to port ThreadX RTOS to its cores

EnSilica, the Wokingham-based provider of semiconductor IP and IC design services, is to port RTOS specialist Express Logic’s ThreadX RTOS to EnSilica’s eSi-RISC family of sconfigurable embedded processor cores. Together eSi-RISC and ThreadX share small footprint, high-performance, and low-power characteristics that, when combined with ThreadX’s pre-certification for many safety standards, suit them to IoT and ...

TSMC in volume GaN production

TSMC in volume GaN production

GaN Systems says its foundry, TSMC,  has expanded GaN  production by 10X with both 100V and 650V GaN FETSs shipping in volume. TSMC uses GaN Systems’ proprietary Island Technology. GaN claims the products out-perform  silicon power semiconductors, the SiC carbide devices and other GaN products. The GaNPX packaging delivers, says GaN,  high current handling,  low inductance and good thermal ...
