The Europe’s Heterogeneous Technology Alliance (HTA) has the ambition to revolutionize the organic electronic circuits production

May 4, 2012

Dresde, Espoo, Grenoble, Neuchâtel – May 5, 2012 – The Heterogeneous Technology Alliance (HTA), a team of leading European technology institutes (VTT, Fraunhofer, CSEM and CEA-Leti) today announced that it strongly contributes to develop high-performance organic electronic circuits. It is possible due to their extensive efforts in processing, circuit design, modelling, and characterisation.

So far the appearance of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and circuits in industrial products has been limited. The main obstacle for substantial market penetration of such organic electronic components has been the inability to achieve the necessary device performance combined with the necessary high-volume production methods. … Read More → "The Europe’s Heterogeneous Technology Alliance (HTA) has the ambition to revolutionize the organic electronic circuits production"

S2C Adds 7 New Prototype Ready™ Accessories to its Suite of Rapid FPGA-Based Prototyping Tools

May 4, 2012

San Jose, CA – May 3, 2012 – S2C today announced that it has added 7 new Prototype Ready accessories to the already large family of daughter cards used to create FPGA-based prototypes and interface FPGA-based prototype boards to the user’s target operating environment. These pre-engineered off-the-shelf solutions speed the overall prototype development schedule by saving the user the time to engineer the solutions on their own.

Mon-Ren Chene, S2C’s Chairman and CTO said that many of our Prototype Ready solutions are developed in response to customer needs. “We take the “rapid” in rapid FPGA-based prototyping very seriously. … Read More → "S2C Adds 7 New Prototype Ready™ Accessories to its Suite of Rapid FPGA-Based Prototyping Tools"
