Lowest drift bandgap voltage reference ever
Linear Tech is claiming a record for its latest voltage reference – the lowest drift bandgap ever – at 1.5ppm/°C, or 30ppm long-term. Called the LT6657, low frequency (0.1-10Hz) noise is also good at 0.5ppmp-p, as is 35ppm of thermal hysteresis. Wired as a low-drop series reference is needs a supply of as little as 50mV ...
Picture Gallery: Discovering Start-Ups 2015, the winners
The strength of current UK-based technology start-ups was evident at the Discovering Start-Ups 2015 competition when the winners were announced in London today. The winners ranged from smart glasses for the blind and an online platform for gene testing to an industrial wireless sensor network, real-time risk assessment system for cyber-attacks and a new reversible ...

AMD processor brings 4K graphics into industrial designs
AMD’s latest embedded processor combines a 64-bit x86 CPU core with a high-end Radeon graphics core. This allows it to carry out hardware-accelerated decode of 4K video playback. The R-series processor SoCs are designed to support the new Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA) 1.0 certification for full 4K decode and DirectX 12. This represents a 22% improved graphics performance ...

Toshiba gives NAND a serial interface for NOR replacement
Toshiba’s latest range of NAND flash memory chips have a serial interface. The advantage of the serial interface is that the devices can be controlled with just 6-pins, and this means they can be used as low-pin count SLC NAND flash memory. SLC NAND flash memory is now being used as a higher capacity alternative to NOR ...
Arteris tackles tyranny of wires
Wires are the problem. The smaller they get the more resistance they have and the closer together they are the more they interfere with eachothers’ signals and the more transistors on the chip the more wires there have to be. But the whole direction of scaling is to create more wires, thinner wires and wires ...
The ARM tide surges on. To increase dollar year-on-year processor royalty revenues by 37% and overall sterling revenues by 24% in Q3 is no mean achievement in a flat semiconductor market. How do they do it? “Two reasons,” replies ARM vice-president Pete Hutton: “Because we are moving into new markets and deploying new technology.” On the technology side, 64-bit ...
