IDT presents its first in a series of companion power management and timing solutions. The initial solution features a new multiphase power converter paired with new system clock-power console designed to work together to improve system performance and power consumption in consumer and computing applications, such as desktops, notebooks, gaming systems, servers, workstations, set-top boxes, digital video recorders and multi-function printers. With this patented pairing, the new solution from IDT not only reduces power consumption and lowers bill of materials, but also simplifies board layout and speeds time to market. The IDT P62000 multiphase power manager is a flexible two-, three- or four-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) device capable of meeting precise voltage regulation requirements for advanced microprocessors, making it fully compliant with the Intel VR10/VR11.1 specifications, providing increased design flexibility. This power manager provides real-time monitoring of CPU power usage, enabling automatic voltage and frequency adjustments as needed for best-possible power savings. IDT is also introducing the 9CPS4592 system clock-power console, which communicates with the IDT multiphase power converter over a serial interface to provide real-time power-usage control of the peripheral components. The IDT 9CPS4592 clock also features dynamic frequency control, which regulates the frequency load in the processor, helping system designers improve performance and lower power consumption...

The TMPM380 is new 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) specifically designed for the digital control of high-current circuits commonly found in industrial or appliance applications. Toshiba's TMPM380 Powered by a 40 MHz ARM; Cortex-M3 processor core provides higher performance than the 8- and 16-bit MCUs typically used in industrial or appliance applications, yet at price points similar to the lower-performing alternatives. The new TMPM380 delivers improved operating characteristics, including better energy efficiency and more precise control. The TMPM380 MCU Enables the addition of new features to an application. Speech synthesis could be added to an appliance's user interface so the appliance could provide voice confirmation of user commands and settings. The TMPM380 MCU offers a 5V operation, which delivers better immunity to system noise than a comparable 3V MCU and easier interfacing with other 5V components. The TMPM380 MCU uses a specialized pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit, which can generate three-phase control for motor circuits or a 16-bit programmable pulse generator (PPG) control for circuits employing power semiconductors such as IGBTs ( insulated gate bipolar transistors) or FETs (field-effect transistors)...

National Instruments offers many of its products in a variety of configurations for OEM and embedded solutions. When a general NI PXI/CompactPCI controller, chassis, or module does not quite fit your application needs, contact NI about customizing these solutions. All NI PXI and PXI Express chassis and controllers can accept any compliant CompactPCI or CompactPCI Express modules. PXI and PXI Express are multivendor industry standards based on the CompactPCI and CompactPCI Express architecture. PXI and PXI Express add more functionality to the CompactPCI and CompactPCI Express specifications. NI is able to offer the PCB backplane from any of its industry-leading PXI and PXI Express chassis for your application. If your application requires a form factor or environmental specification that NI chassis do not meet, you can design the NI backplane into your system...
