Octal Bus Transceiver with Hot Insertion and Bus-Hold Capability adds to Diodes Incorporated’s Logic Portfolio

Plano, Texas – August 3rd, 2016 – The 74LVT245BB octal transceiver introduced by Diodes Incorporated enables asynchronous communication between data buses. A control pin determines data flow direction, while disabling the tri-state outputs allows the buses to be completely isolated. Once reserved primarily for computer applications, data buses are now commonplace in TVs, set-top boxes, base stations and a myriad of other data communication devices, providing a broad market for transceiver circuits.

The 74LVT245BB adds a partial power-down capability to the normal asynchronous … Read More → "Octal Bus Transceiver with Hot Insertion and Bus-Hold Capability adds to Diodes Incorporated’s Logic Portfolio"

STMicroelectronics Reveals Ultra-Tiny Low-Dropout Regulator in Breakthrough Bumpless Chip-Scale Package

Geneva, August 3, 2016 – STMicroelectronics has introduced the LDBL20, a 200mA Low-Dropout (LDO) regulator in a minuscule 0.47mm x 0.47mm x 0.2mm chip-scale package that is ideal for wearable and portable devices and for flexible electronics such as multifunction connected smart cards.

The LDBL20’s bumpless STSTAMP™ package breaks through the minimum I/O-area and height limitation imposed by the diameter of traditional flip-chip solder bumps, enabling unprecedentedly small footprints and low mounted heights. The LDBL20 extends ST’s family of compact LDOs, which includes devices from 2mm x 2mm DFN to a 0.69mm x 0.69mm CSP with 300mA … Read More → "STMicroelectronics Reveals Ultra-Tiny Low-Dropout Regulator in Breakthrough Bumpless Chip-Scale Package"

Targeted debugging of MIPI M-PHY interfaces using the new triggering and decoding option for R&S RTO2000 oscilloscopes

Munich, August 3, 2016 — The new R&S RTO-K44 option from Rohde & Schwarz offers powerful triggering and decoding functionality for debugging designs with MIPI M-PHY based protocols. Defined as a physical layer, M-PHY serves as the basis for a number of protocol standards that have been optimized for rapid data transmission in mobile devices. For example, M-PHY is used together with CSI-3 in cameras and with UFS in memory components for multimedia applications. With DigRF Rev.4, UniPort or LLI, the interface is used in chip-to-chip communications.</ … Read More → "Targeted debugging of MIPI M-PHY interfaces using the new triggering and decoding option for R&S RTO2000 oscilloscopes"
