MILPITAS, CA – February 16, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4070, an easy-to-use, tiny shunt battery charger system IC for Li-Ion/Polymer batteries. The LTC4070, with its 450nA operating current, charges and protects batteries from previously unusable very low current, intermittent or continuous charging sources. The LTC4070’s charge current may be boosted from 50mA up to 500mA with the addition of an external PMOS shunt device. An internal thermal battery conditioner reduces the float voltage to protect Li-Ion/Polymer cells at elevated battery temperatures. Multiple-cell battery stacks can be charged and balanced by configuring several LTC4070s in series. Housed … Read More → "Tiny Sub-1µA IQ Shunt Battery System Charges & Protects Li-Ion/Polymer Batteries"
Our design and development team was lean and efficient. We had five engineers, and we all knew what we were doing. One of us was probably designated as the “project lead,” but in practice that hardly mattered. That engineer simply acted as the public face of the group to the rest of the company. Within the team everybody intuitively knew their role, and the complex interactions were never choreographed from any centralized management. The team was an organic, … Read More → "Paved with Good Intentions"
iPhone not powerful enough? BlackBerry looking a bit sluggish? Palm Pré just doesn’t have that kick you need? Then hang onto your tights because a new killer cell-phone processor is on its way.
These days, the phone is the least interesting part of a cell “phone.” It’s the camera, the applications, the GPS … Read More → "Viddy This, O My Brothers"
The IP business is a wild and wooly place. There have been a lot of casualties as companies have tried to figure out how to make money saving other companies time. And time equals money. Should be a simple concept, but it’s amazing how hard it can be to get someone to spend money in order to save money. Somehow it always just feels like spending money.
So the market has shaken out a bit, but, in that process, no IP component has ascended to the same lofty heights as the processor. It … Read More → "Threading the Needle"
