Advantech’s products will offer the true flexibility that an all software approach brings to video processing, but at lower power levels and in a smaller form factor than before. 

“Advantech is accelerating the evolution of video platforms for OEMs through innovative DSP solutions which enable faster capture, encoding and processing at higher resolutions and data rates than ever before.” said David Lin, … Read More → "Advantech Extends Collaboration with Texas Instruments on High Definition Video Processing Applications"

Touchstone Semiconductor Introduces the New TS3001, a 1µA, Accurate, Easy to Use Timer IC

April 17, 2012

MILPITAS, Calif. – April 17, 2012 – Touchstone Semiconductor, a developer of high-performance analog integrated circuit solutions, today announced its newest high accuracy, low power timer: the TS3001.  The TS3001, like its predecessor product, the TS3002, uses only 1µA supply current, 15 times less than its closest competitor. 

The TS3001, like the TS3002, is simple to program, and accurate.  The TS3001’s timer frequency is set with just one resistor while the TS3002 is set with a resistor and a capacitor.  Frequency out period drift is a very low 0.021%/°C for the TS3001, compared with the TS3002’s frequency out period … Read More → "Touchstone Semiconductor Introduces the New TS3001, a 1µA, Accurate, Easy to Use Timer IC"
