Innovasic to Demonstrate TSN-ready Deterministic Ethernet at the 2016 Automotive Ethernet Congress in Munich

Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, January, 2016.  Innovasic, a leader in deterministic Ethernet semiconductor solutions, will demonstrate how time-critical control data can be effectively managed on an Ethernet network using technologies that are being adopted and evaluated by the IEEE standards association for 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN).

By using its fido5000 Real-time Ethernet Multiprotocol (REM) switch chip, Innovasic will demonstrate scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv), time synchronization (802.1AS-Rev) and ingress policing (802.1Qci).  These capabilities enable deterministic control of critical data packets, even in the presence of very high levels of non-critical traffic.  The fido5000 chip is unique in having a programmable … Read More → "Innovasic to Demonstrate TSN-ready Deterministic Ethernet at the 2016 Automotive Ethernet Congress in Munich"

New Wireless Implantable Device from A*STAR’S IME and Biospark to Improve Chronic Pain Management

Singapore—Patients who suffer from chronic pain will soon have an option of pain mitigation, thanks to a new wireless implantable chronic pain management device being developed by A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) and local biotechnology firm Biospark Technologies Pte Ltd (Biospark).

Neurostimulators are surgical implants which can be a long-term solution for patients suffering from pain as a result of injury, surgery or health conditions. Neurostimulators trigger mild electrical signals to block pain signals from reaching the brain and are effective in relieving chronic pain. Patients will only feel a tingling or numbing sensation … Read More → "New Wireless Implantable Device from A*STAR’S IME and Biospark to Improve Chronic Pain Management"

STMicroelectronics Introduces World’s First 4-Ball WLCSP EEPROM with Multiple I2C Addresses

Geneva, January 13, 2016 – STMicroelectronics has extended its M24 serial EEPROM family with four new devices that are fully compatible with the industry-standard 4-ball WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) footprint. The new additions also enable, for the first time, to connect two or more 4-pin EEPROMs to the same I2C bus with an individual I2C address hard-wired internally. This allows dedicated devices for specific purposes, such as front/rear camera modules, on the same bus.

The new devices meet customers’ needs for … Read More → "STMicroelectronics Introduces World’s First 4-Ball WLCSP EEPROM with Multiple I2C Addresses"
