The SH-MobileHD1 application processor (product number: SH7370) is the first in the industry to deliver low-power Full High-Definition (1,920 × 1,080 pixels, abbreviated “Full HD”) video recording, playback, and streaming support key for the next generation of IP video applications. Sample shipments will begin on April 23, 2009 in Japan. The high-definition video processing unit of the SH-MobileHD1 enables an HD video surveillance system that consumes less power than typical standard-definition systems. The unique hardware approach to this video processing unit requires very few cycles of the on-board general purpose processor, leaving ample capability for applications such as analytics or a rich user interface..

SC300 Processor (Photo: ARM Website) The SecurCoreTM SC300TM processor provides the most secure and energy efficient solution to meet challenging design goals for both contact and contactless operation, whilst at the same time delivering high performance. The SC300 processor includes a configurable Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC) for highly deterministic and low interrupt latency, crucial for running multiple security algorithms and communication interfaces concurrently.With its highly advanced debug features and standardized peripheral models, the SC300 processor helps OEMs to drastically reduce software development overheads by easing code portability and reusability with the resultant time-to-market significantly reduced..

The ADS1248 and ADS1247 integrate dual matched current digital-to-analog converters (DACs), low drift internal reference, oscillator, temperature sensor, burnout detection and eight general purpose I/Os. The ADS1248 and ADS1247 with a data rate of 2 kSPS and only 2.56 mW of power dissipation provide an easy-to-use, low-power front-end solution for temperature measurement (RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors), flow/pressure measurement and industrial process control..

The SKY65050-372LF is new suite of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) featuring pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) and silicon germanium (SiGe) technologies. The new high performing, low cost product family serves various industry applications including GPS; infrastructure such as GSM, WCDMA and LTE base station transceivers; ISM band and satellite radio; and WLAN markets. The SKY65050-372LF is a high performance, low noise, n-channel, depletion mode pHEMT, fabricated from Skyworks' advanced pHEMT process and packaged in a miniature 4-lead SC-70 package. The transistor's low noise figure, high gain, and excellent third order intercept (IP3) allows it to be used in various receiver and transmitter applications...
