Imec and Renesas Electronics Announce Development of an Innovative SAW-Less Reconfigurable Transceiver

February 24, 2011

Leuven, Belgium and Tokyo, Japan, February 23, 2011 – At this week’s International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC2011), imec and Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) present a highly-linear reconfigurable transceiver, eliminating the need of surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters. The unique approach is a major breakthrough towards fully reconfigurable radios by relaxing the requirements of the antenna filters, which suffered today from limited flexibility due to the high filtering specs. The fully reconfigurable transceiver ‘Scaldio’ is compatible with multiple wireless standards including the fourth generation mobile broadband standard 3GPP-LTE.

The trend in wireless communication where terminals give … Read More → "Imec and Renesas Electronics Announce Development of an Innovative SAW-Less Reconfigurable Transceiver"

ZMDI ZSSC3122 capacitive sensor signal conditioner benefits battery-powered applications, MEMS, industrial, harsh environments

February 24, 2011

Dresden, Germany – February 23, 2011 – ZMD AG (ZMDI) — a global supplier of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial, and medical applications, has expanded its family of capacitive sensor signal conditioners (SSCs) with the addition of the wide-dynamic-range ZSSC3122 cLite device.

Thanks to new design technology, the chip delivers 14-bit resolution and 0.25% full-scale-output accuracy. A built-in sleep mode lowers current consumption to <1uA for temperatures up to 85°C, making the ZSSC3122 ideal in low-power battery applications, as well as industrial and rugged environments. MEMS sensing elements, such … Read More → "ZMDI ZSSC3122 capacitive sensor signal conditioner benefits battery-powered applications, MEMS, industrial, harsh environments"
