ST’s Cartesio+ enables cost- and space-efficient navigation and infotainment applications with enhanced user experience, combines superior processing power and positioning accuracy with a rich set of integrated peripherals. The Cartesio+ System-on-Chip is manufactured in ST’s 55nm process technology and integrates a powerful ARM1176 processor with a GPS/Galileo positioning subsystem enhanced with indoor sensitivity, an advanced 3D graphics engine, and a large set of connectivity peripherals, including multiple SD/MMC, CAN and USB with integrated physical layers. Cartesio+ also offers advanced power management capabilities, based on ‘power island’ technology, which allows areas of the chip to operate at different voltage levels. The device also supports dynamic scaling of the core frequency to improve battery life for portable applications...

Expansion of NI FlexRIO product line with multiple forthcoming adapter modules, provides engineers with application-specific I/O for RF, digital, time-domain and vision inspection systems. The NI FlexRIO family is the industry’s first commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution to provide engineers the flexibility of NI LabVIEW FPGA technology combined with high-speed, instrument-class, reconfigurable and user-defined I/O on the PXI platform. All NI FlexRIO solutions require two distinct hardware pieces – an I/O-specific adapter module and a PXI-based NI FlexRIO FPGA module, which features a Xilinx Virtex-5 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). With a variety of NI FlexRIO adapter modules, engineers can directly interface FPGAs to new types of I/O for measurements across automated test applications that require real-time performance...

The ISL54222A is a single-supply USB 2.0 high-speed multiplexer that can operate from a single 1.8V to 3.3V supply. The ISL54222A is a new integrated circuit that offers industry-leading features for portable products where internal USB high-speed ports may need to share a single USB connector. The device is also bidirectional and allows sharing of a host USB port between multiple outputs such as in desktop or laptop computers, portable mini-printers or docking stations. The ISL54222A features Human Body Model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance of >12kV on input-output (I/O) terminals. This combination of low supply voltage and high ESD protection makes it extremely flexible and robust for applications such as SmartPhones, MP3 players, personal navigation devices and digital cameras...
