The ISL8204M and ISL8206M are complete switch-mode power supplies in a single compact surface-mount package. Included within the module is a PWM controller, power MOSFETs, power inductor and associated discrete components. These new products are footprint compatible with Intersil’s recently announced ISL8201M. This gives designers the flexibility to fix their point-of-load (POL) power requirements much later in the design cycle and optimize system power needs without having to re-layout the PCB...

The PSoC® architecture consists of configurable analog and digital blocks, a CPU subsystem and programmable routing and interconnect. PSoC lets you plug in predefined and tested IP from the PSoC library of functions, or code your own. Either way, you have the flexibility to build innovation and competitive advantage into your products. Programable Routing & Interconnect This frees you to re-route signals to userselected pins, shedding the constraints of a fixed-peripheral controller...

The PSoC® 3 FirstTouch™ Starter Kit is designed to get you acquainted with Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip design methodology and architecture. This full-featured starter kit ships with an array of sensors, I/O’s, projects, and software to allow you to evaluate PSoC and see what values the solution can provide you. And, in addition to trying out PSoC 3, gain full access to other features of the FirstTouch Starter Kit like Serial Wire Debugging (SWD), an Accelerometer, a Thermistor, Proximity Sensing, a CapSense® touch-sensing interface, a 12-pin wireless module header, and even 28 general purpose I/O pins (GPIOs). Whatever your need for PSoC may be, the PSoC 3 FirstTouch Starter Kit has the tools to get you started – and hooked – on PSoC...

TMS320DM6467T is a new DaVinci™ video processor designed to meet the demand for increased digital video quality, higher resolution and faster frame rates for video communications and security applications. The 1 GHz DM6467T is a single-chip processor that enables networked digital video applications to decode high-definition (HD) H.264 (1080p at 60 frames per second (fps)). The processor also provides optimized imaging support and the advanced video processing capabilities required to support up to eight simultaneous channels of H.264 D1 real-time video encoding with solution from a third party. The DM6467T offers developers the ability to create multi-format video supporting multiple channels, superior compression technology and advanced processing capabilities such as analytics...
