The AT91SAM9M10 is a multimedia-enabled high-performance ARM926-based embedded MPU running at 400MHz, combining user interfaces, video playback and connectivity. It includes a hardware video decoder, a 2D accelerator, LCD Controller, resistive touchscreen, camera interface, audio, Ethernet 10/100 and high-speed USB and SDIO. The SAM9M10 is targeted at media rich display and control panels in industrial application segments such as home and commercial buildings, POS (Point of Sale) terminals, entertainment systems, Internet appliances and medical. The Atmel SAM9M10 ARM-based MCU was selected as an 'Editor Choice' award because of the highly integrated features of video decoding and 2D acceleration. In addition, this product includes various integrated features to lower the overall system bill of material cost. The feature-rich Atmel SAM9M10 MCU enables embedded designers to easily integrate this MCU into industrial display and control panels in application segments including home and commercial buildings, Point of Sale terminals, entertainment systems, Internet appliances and medical applications...

STMicroelectronics' 8-bit STM8A, STM8L and STM8S microcontrollers are supported by a complete range of high-end and low-cost development tools including Evaluation, Software, Debugging and Programming tools. This complete line includes the STice advanced in-circuit emulation system from ST and low-cost in-circuit debugger/programmers. All debugging solutions are supported by complete software tool sets that include free integrated development environments and up to 32 Kbytes code-size limited C compilers from Cosmic, IAR and Raisonance. In addition, the STM8A, STM8L and STM8S firmware libraries provide documented and fully tested sets of C sources for the full range of device drivers. Supported by a comprehensive set of application notes and a range of development tools, the STM8A, STM8L and STM8S libraries facilitate the initial stages of development, reduce code maintenance and shorten time-to-market. EWSTM8, IAR’s Embedded Workbench IDE for STM8 with its highly optimizing C compiler. EWSTM8 drives the ST-LINK, low cost in-circuit debugger and the STice advanced in-circuit emulation system. EWSTM8 is available in a free Kickstart edition, limited to 8K of code (MISRA C and C library source code not available)...

The OPA1641 (single), OPA1642 (dual), and OPA1644 (quad) series are JFET-input, ultralow distortion, low-noise operational amplifiers fully specified for audio applications. The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 rail-to-rail output swing allows increased headroom, making these devices ideal for use in any audio circuit. Features include 5.1nV/vHz noise, low THD+N (0.00005%), a low input bias current of 2pA, and low quiescent current of 1.8mA per channel. These devices operate over a very wide supply voltage range of ±2.25V to ±18V. The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 series of op amps are unity-gain stable and provide excellent dynamic behavior over a wide range of load conditions. The dual and quad versions feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from interactions between channels, even when overdriven or overloaded. The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 are specified from –40°C to +85°C...

The SDCT5 is intended for designers and manufacturers of SD/SDIO devices and provides a fast and simple method of implementation of controlled command/response analysis. The SDCT5 is a configurable SD/SDIO host with a simple to use JAVA based GUI providing flexibility whilst conforming to SD/SDIO standards. The SDCT5 allows fast and accurate exercising and debugging of SD/SDIO cards. With the Java-based GUI user can set up a customised sequence of SD/SDIO commands to exercise cards responses, SDIO interrupt and error handling. The SDCT5 allows the user to set up 'what if' scenarios for their target devices which can be very helpful in determining 'real world' performance and behaviour....
