The ARM(R) 0.18µm ultra low power libraries (uLL), coupled with the inherent power management advantages of the ARM Cortex processor family and the TSMC 0.18µm embedded flash uLL/HDR “high data retention” process provides SoC designers with additional reduction in power leakage up to 10x compared to 0.18um G implementations. The ARM libraries, combined with the ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-R profile processors, provide a compelling alternative to companies that are accustomed to a multiple MCU system approach. Utilizing an advanced ultra low power, single 32-bit MCU and optimized ARM libraries for the TSMC 0.18µm uLL Embedded Flash/HDR process, designers can increase their design efficiency and lower overall system cost. This powerful combination of physical IP, processor architecture and leading-edge manufacturing technology enables the development of enhanced 32-bit MCUs for automotive, consumer appliance, sensor, lighting, e-metering, smart control and gaming devices...

The new MB86C30A supports the ultra-fast 5Gbps maximum data-transfer rate of USB 3.0, and incorporates an encryption/decryption engine. Samples are being built using Fujitsu’s 65-nanometer low-power process technology. The MB86C30A bridge IC provides an order of magnitude increase in data transfer rates from external storage devices such as hard disk drives to PCs. The new bridge IC incorporates on a single chip the USB communication control circuits, SATA communication control circuits, and protocol control and command control circuits. These circuits are required to construct an external USB storage device and to realize 5Gbps data transfer to a host PC. The MB86C30A IC also contains an embedded Advanced Encryption Standard (AES engine to protect confidential data from being stolen, unintentionally leaked or lost, and to protect data following the disposal of storage devices...

The ATI FirePro S400 synchronization module allows ATI FirePro 3D workstation graphics cards to be used in demanding applications that require synchronization to external sources (Genlock) or synchronization of 3D rendering of multiple GPUs in different systems (Framelock). The combination of these capabilities with ATI FirePro graphics accelerators means that an even wider set of applications can benefit from the award-winning ATI FirePro line. Based on a full hardware-dedicated processor, design, the ATI FirePro S400 helps to ensure clock accurate synchronization in virtually all scenarios.1 The dedicated processor allows up to four attached GPUs to work in the rendering needs of the user without compromising sync...
