	<description>Analog circuits operate on voltages, currents, and electrical signals, from DC to microwave RF frequencies. Analog functions complement digital, which operate solely on binary bits of information, and provide the critical real-world interfaces to sensors, supplies, and communication channels. Analog IC designers may develop standalone products such as amplifiers and voltage regulators, or develop functions that are embedded in today’s complex Systems on a Chip (SoCs), which rely more and more on mixed-signal analog-digital operation.</description>

<p><span class="body"> </span></p>
<p>CHANDLER, Ariz., April 23, 2012 [NASDAQ: MCHP] — Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced its next-generation energy-measurement analog front end (AFE), the MCP3911, which features two 24-bit, delta-sigma ADCs that operate at 3V with industry-leading accuracy of 94.5 dB SINAD and 106.5 dB THD. This provides better energy-meter and power-monitoring performance by accurately measuring from start-up to maximum current, and enables faster calibration during production. Four different power modes offers the flexibility of enabling either extremely low-power designs, to 0.8 mA per channel, or designs for higher-speed signals and harmonic content. The extended temperature range allows operation from -40°C to +125°C.</p>
<p><span style="float: left"> </span></p>
<p>The MCP3911 also features 2.7 to 3.6V analog and digital operation, which simplifies the interface by running off of the same power rail as the microcontroller. An internal, low-temperature-coefficient voltage reference, along with PGAs on each channel, further enables metering and monitoring designs.</p>
<p>As the global energy-metering infrastructure is being upgraded and the power-monitoring market is growing, designers of energy-measurement and other signal-acquisition applications are looking for ways to increase performance while lowering costs. Microchip is meeting these needs with the industry’s most accurate AFEs, which reduce power consumption with their low-power modes and reduce costs by decreasing the number of required power rails and external components.</p>
<p>“With this expansion of our industry-leading line of energy-measurement analog front ends, Microchip is enabling the rapidly growing global adoption of high-performance smart meters,” said Bryan J. Liddiard, marketing vice president of Microchip’s Analog and Interface Products Division. “The combination of the world’s best accuracy with our extensive PIC® microcontroller portfolio provides designers with the tools they need to create the best performing energy meters and power monitors at the lowest cost.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="heading-1">Development Support</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Microchip also announced a tool that enables development with these new AFEs. The MCP3911 Evaluation Board for 16-bit MCUs (part # ADM00398, $79.99) is available today, via microchipDIRECT (<a href="http://www.microchip.com/get/VFFT">www.microchip.com/get/VFFT</a>).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="heading-1">Pricing &amp; Availability</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The MCP3911 is available today for samples and volume production, in 20-pin SSOP and QFN packages. Pricing ranges from $1.40 to $1.43 each, in 5,000-unit quantities. For additional information, contact any Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor, or visit Microchip’s Web site at <a href="http://www.microchip.com/get/XA2A">www.microchip.com/get/XA2A</a>. To purchase products mentioned in this press release, go to microchipDIRECT or contact one of Microchip’s authorized distribution partners.</p>

<p>London, UK – 22th February 2012 – Sundance, a leading supplier and manufacturer of advanced digital signal processing and reconfigurable FPGA systems has introduced the SMT141, a PCIe/104 Type 2 card with two dual-channel analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The latest addition to the Sundance line of PCIe/104 modules provides a quad channel ADC capable of 14-bit precision with sample rates up to 250 MHz. An optional dual fibre interconnect enables the SMT141 to be connected to other modules or data sources.</p>
<p><span style="float: left"> </span></p>
<p>The SMT141 implements comprehensive clock circuitry that allows synchronization among the individual converters and the use of an external reference clock. 512MB of DDR2 storage/capture memory and a 4-lane PCI Express interface support the high speed transfer of captured data to a suitable host controller.</p>
<p>The F100T variation has 3 banks of QDRII memory and dual fibre optical transceivers for secure and long-distance transfer to remote non PC/104 controllers. The onboard Virtex-5 FXT100 FPGA with a PowerPC processing core can be combined with IP cores that can be implemented for down conversation, run-length encoding and FFT processing on the fly. A dual SATA interface provides a connection to disk drives for in-line storage.</p>
<p>“Data acquisition on a PC/104 platform has previously been restricted to sub-50 MHz sampling per channel due to limited bandwidth, up to 150 Mbytes/sec, on the 32-bit PCI/104 bus PCIe/104 Type 1 modules. The 4-lane PCIe104 Type 2 interface with Gen 2 PCI Express on the SMT141 has a theoretical peak-bandwidth of 800 Mbytes/sec giving it room to handle the 250 MHz samples from quad channels,” said Flemming Christensen, managing director of Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Ltd.</p>
<p>The SMT141 is designed to operate in a host-free, stand-alone environment for more deployment options. Linux support is available for the on-board PowerPC® 440 core and host interface software is either Windows 7 (32/64-bit) or Linux.</p>
<p>Typical applications require high-speed data acquisition, where the data collection might be in a remote location or hazardous environment. The SMT141 can transfer collected data via fibre to a host PC in a control center. The SMT141 provides a complete conversion solution and stands as a platform that can be part of a transmit/receive communication system.</p>
<p>Pricing for SMT141 starts at US $5,490 quantity one. The SMT141 is available in most configurations from stock.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[High-definition RF and IP video over an existing data cabling infrastructure without the need for coaxial cabling or any RF tuning.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="body"> </span></p>
<p>GREENSBORO, N.C.&#8211; TE Connectivity has introduced a new Video Distribution System (VDS) that enables network managers to deliver true high-definition RF and IP video over an existing data cabling infrastructure without the need for coaxial cabling or any RF tuning.</p>
<p><span style="float: left"> </span></p>
<p>VDS enables the delivery of video signals such as cable television, satellite, in-house video, digital signage, electronic bulletin boards or any other service normally delivered over coaxial systems – over a Category 6 or higher twisted-pair infrastructure. The VDS eliminates the need for a separate coaxial infrastructure or the need for an RF technician to install it.</p>
<p>“We’re finding that simultaneous access to data, video and other high-bandwidth services is becoming a necessity for many of our customers – especially in the financial services, healthcare, and education industries,” commented Kam Patel, product management director for emerging technologies at TE Enterprise Networks. “High-definition RF and IP video are becoming commonplace.”</p>
<p>Delivering rich content in the form of high-definition video has often been a challenge for network managers as it typically means overlaying their twisted-pair infrastructure with an additional, coaxial infrastructure.</p>
<p>Patel continued, “Now, with TE’s new video distribution system, we have effectively eliminated the time and expense associated with this additional layer of infrastructure. VDS allows anyone to access these services, including high-definition or IP video, wherever they have a network outlet.”</p>
<p>The TE Connectivity VDS solution is TIA-568/ISO 11801 compliant and delivers broadband RF signals over an existing structured cabling infrastructure. It supports full-spectrum video (862 MHz) for up to 295 feet or 550 MHz for up to 328 feet. VDS is a true “plug and play” system for greater ease of installation and maintenance and features automatic gain control. Using self-adjusting baluns to provide amplification and equalization, output and input levels are adjusted to provide perfect HD video at the TV set. The system automatically adjusts the head-end signal for proper system operation and thereby eliminates the need for manual tuning by solving equalization and balancing issues traditionally associated with coaxial systems.</p>
<p>Patel adds: “This is a significant addition to TE Connectivity’s Enterprise Networks portfolio. It solves one of the biggest headaches for network managers who are trying to integrate video distribution across an existing twisted pair infrastructure – and it provides a future-proofed solution for the longer-term migration to IPTV.” For more information about TE’s video distribution system, visit: <a href="http://www.te.com/en/general/video-distribution-system.html">www.te.com/en/general/video-distribution-system[...]</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Single-Stage PFC Primary Side Regulation LED Driver Minimizes Bill-of-Materials, Allows for More Compact, Longer Life, Lower System Cost Design]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="body"> </span></p>
<p>SAN JOSE, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;LED lighting has evolved into a promising solution for replacing conventional lighting sources, such as fluorescent and incandescent lights. However, designers face several obstacles in residential and commercial LED lighting applications up to 20W including bulb, down lighting (GU10/E17, E26/27, PAR30/38) and Tube/Bar. Implementing dimming capabilities in a conventional TRIAC dimmer infrastructure is challenging because of dimmer compatibility. Additionally, small space requirements remain a consideration.</p>
<p><span style="float: left"> </span></p>
<p>To help designers address these challenges, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) developed the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC), TRIAC and analog dimming compatibility, as well as the FL7732 for non-dimming applications.</p>
<p>The FL7730 is an active PFC controller for single-stage flyback topology application. The device supports both TRIAC and analog dimming. Implemented with Fairchild’s unique analog sensing technology, the device can achieve TRIAC dimming control without flicker over the full range of 0 to 100% light output.</p>
<p>The FL7730 and FL7732 combine primary-side regulation and a single-stage PFC topology to minimize total bill-of-material (BOM) count, such as an input electrolytic capacitor and feedback circuitry, therefore allowing for a more compact, longer life, and lower system cost design.</p>
<p>To improve power factor and THD, both devices feature constant on-time control with an internal error amplifier and low bandwidth compensator. Precise Constant Current accuracy/control (± 5 percent) regulates accurate output current, independent of input and output voltage, allowing designers to achieve high and improved lighting quality. Operating frequency is proportionally adjusted by output voltage in both devices to guarantee DCM operation with optimized PF/THD and simpler design.</p>
<p>Excellent PF (≥0.9), low total harmonic distortion (THD) (Class C) and power efficiency of up to 85 percent for the FL7730 – greater than 85 percent for the FL7732 in non-dimming applications – allows these devices to meet worldwide energy saving regulations.</p>
<p>Fairchild offers a total solution portfolio for low- (&lt;20W), mid- (20W to 50W) and high- (&gt;50W) LED driver applications. Our highly integrated PWM and PFC controller solutions reduce component BOM counts to enable smaller lamp sizes and eliminate design complexities, while improving overall lighting efficiency. Fairchild’s extensive product portfolio ranges from discrete devices to integrated solutions that contain PFC controllers, high voltage gate drivers and MOSFETs. With a commitment to energy savings and meeting the most stringent regulations, Fairchild has developed innovative products that maximize performance while reducing board space, design complexity and system costs. In addition, Fairchild’s Global Power ResourceSM Center comprised of online tools, FAEs and regional centers staffed by power engineers, is the industry standard for customer design support.</p>

<p>NORWOOD, Mass. &#8212; Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), the leading provider of data conversion technology*, today introduced two data converter FMC boards (FPGA mezzanine cards) that connect to Xilinx Inc.’s new 28nm 7 series FPGA (field programmable gate array) evaluation kits. ADI’s high-speed AD9739A D/A converter and AD9467 A/D converter FMC boards support multiple generations of Xilinx kits &#8212; including the company’s new Kintex-7 FPGA evaluation kits Xilinx announced today. The new Analog Devices FMC boards include all of the HDL (hardware description language) code and device drivers needed for designers to engage in rapid prototyping and reduce development time and risk. Both products are being demonstrated at the DesignCon 2012 trade show in Santa Clara, Calif., in the Xilinx booth (#732).</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="heading-1">More About ADI’s AD9739A D/A Converter FMC Board</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ADI’s AD9739A FMC board is based on the AD9739A, a 14-bit D/A converter that enables cable television and broadband operators to synthesize the entire cable spectrum up to 1 GHz into a single RF (radio frequency) port, while consuming a maximum of 1.1 W of power. The AD9739A 14-bit, 2.5-GSPS D/A converter’s wide bandwidth and dynamic range enable cable operators to increase the QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) channel densities by 20 times over the densities found in today’s cable modems. Competing D/A converter solutions require an additional 28 LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) pairs for the data interface.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="heading-1">More About ADI’s AD9467 A/D Converter FMC Board</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ADI’s AD9467 FMC board is based on the AD9467, which is a 16-bit, 250-MSPS A/D converter that operates on 35 percent less power at a 25 percent higher sampling rate than any other 16-bit data converter. The AD9467 provides a new level of signal processing performance for test and measurement instrumentation, defense electronics and communications applications where high resolution over a wide bandwidth is needed.</p>
<p>The AD9467 delivers resolution and a fast sample rate while simultaneously achieving a high SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) of up to 100 dBFS and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) performance of 76.4 dBFS. The device’s SFDR of 90 dBFS up to 300 MHz analog input and 60-femtosecond rms (root mean square) jitter help lower the signal chain bill of materials component count by allowing engineers to increase system performance at higher intermediate frequencies, thereby reducing the number of signal down-conversion stages.</p>
