Stutensee, Germany – MSC Vertriebs GmbH is announcing the availability of the second processor module from its range of nanoRISC embedded modules for high-performance 32-bit microprocessors. Based on the Samsung S5PV210, an ARM Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 800MHz or 1GHz, the module carries up to 1GB DDR2 SDRAM and 4GB NAND Flash memory. The nanoRISC processor modules are 50 x 70 mm in size and cover all important interfaces for embedded applications: LAN, CAN as well as audio, UART, I²C, SPI, Touch and GPIO. Also, the processor’s parallel bus is accessible, and there are interfaces … Read More → "MSC presents new nanoRISC® Processor Module"

GRENOBLE, France – Sept. 12, 2011 – CEA-Leti announced today that a team of European researchers and companies has achieved a major milestone towards fabricating silicon photonics circuits in CMOS foundries. 

By demonstrating for the first time a 40Gbit/s optical modulator in silicon with a record extinction ratio of 10dB (the power difference between the 1 and 0 data levels), members of the HELIOS Project accomplished one of the key project goals needed to build and optimize the entire supply chain for fabricating complex functional silicon- photonics devices from design to the process level.
