Electronica: NXP claims smallest 8pin logic ever
Feb
The SOT1233 devices, which the firm calls GX 8 packaging, are only 0.35mm high.
“The GX 8 leadless package addresses the continual trend in electronic systems towards smaller and smaller packages, low-power consumption and low system costs,” said the firm.
It already has 5pin and 6pin logic in the package, in its Mini Logic family.
“Logic devices are used…

Atmel EEPROM needs just two pins, one wire
Feb
Atmel has designed a self-powered EEPROM, the AT21CS01, which requires only two-pins—a data pin and ground pin – for operation.…

Capacitor reliability can be improved with the right materials
Feb
When choosing capacitors, properties such as volumetric efficiency, frequency stability, temperature rating or equivalent series resistance are often the primary factors that govern technology selection. In these cases, understanding factors affecting lifetime can help engineers ensure the product will deliver the required reliability.
On the other hand, a long ope…
Failure should not be an option for Al capacitor
Feb
This means that designers have to take great care when calculating the parameters of aluminium capacitors to choose the most appropriate part for their device.
The choice of capacitor also has to balance cost against performance: after magnetic components, aluminium capacitors are often the most expensive passive components in a power supply.
The reliability of an…
Toshiba gives NAND a serial interface for NOR replacement
Feb
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 flash memory in some embedded applications with memory hungry boot programs and data logs.
There is an embedded er…
Glasgow and Leeds researchers move towards racetrack memory
Feb
Racetrack memory uses lines of nanowires. Electricity passed through the wires creates ‘domain walls’ – spaces between the wires where information can be stored. Materials are still a key question for implementing the technology.
The team from Glasgow and Leeds used electron microscopy to look at the structure of thin films deposited by sputtering from plat…
Video surveillance gets H.264 encoding
Feb
The VRC7016XE card features two Exar S7110 software configurable processors and performs H.264 encoding on 16 channels of up to 960H NTSC/PAL video at full resolution and frame rate.
With 960H video, surveillance systems can have a wider horizontal field-of-view (FOV) than what typical D1 CCTV video cameras provide, says the supplier.
The VRC7016XE is designed s…
Magnetoresistive sensors aim at industrial and white goods
Feb
Cryptically called the Standard Power Series, there are four devices in all, aimed at industrial, medical and white goods applications. The firm is thinking: flow sensing in air conditioning, anti-tamper detection in utility meters, RPM sensing in exercise equipment and door position detection, to name but a few.
The most sensitive operate at 11 Gauss max, “ma…
sureCore adds FDSOI memory compiler
Feb
The compiler supports the company’s low power, single port SRAM IP and dual port SRAM IP for 28nm FDSOI process technology. It offers capacities up to 1Mbit with word lengths up to 288bits and supports 4, 8 and 16 Mux factors.
According to the company it allows designers to make trade-offs between various SRAM sizes in terms of number of words, word length and…
Solid-state drive has SATA III 6Gbit/s interface
Feb
The SSD570 has sequential read/write performance of up to 510Mbyte/s and 450Mbyte/s respectively.
It comes with a built-in IPS function that assures more data volume being written into flash chips in the event of sudden power loss.
It prolongs the time before the SSD enters write protection mode at the onset of power cut-off to ensure data integrity and to preve…
