Digi claims industry's 'fool proof' programmable ZigBee mod
Digi launches industry's first 'foolproof' programmable ZigBee module with isolated software that speeds ZigBee development.

DAC targets high-end applications at 18/20 bits
Analog Devices AD5791 digital/analog converter yields >1 ppm accuracy, resolution, noise, and output drift; 1 μsec settling and update rate

Raima adds OPC industrial interface to its embedded database
Raima uses Softing's Unified Architecture (UA) toolkit to bring the OLE for Process Control (OPC) standard interface to embedded database applications

Small-sized PA reduces component cost
Targeted at Bluetooth, 802.15.4/ZigBee and other 2.4 GHz applications, California Eastern Laboratories is now shipping its new µPG2251T6M GaAs power amplifier (PA), which eliminates the need for RF component matching.

USB analog output modules go for less than $300
ACCES I/O Products announced the latest addition to its line of small form factor USB-based data acquisition and control I/O modules—the USB-AO Series, which consists of 12 and 16-bit USB modules.

DS1006 processor board enhanced with quad-core processor
The dSPACE (Paderborn, Germany) quad-core DS1006 processor board has an AMD Opteron 2.8 GHz processor to boost the power of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. Large models can be distributed across the four cores of the quad-core processor and executed synchronously.

Analog Devices offers WSN transceiver
Analog Devices Inc. has announced today the availability of an RF transceiver targeting short-range wireless systems in the 2.4-GHz ISM band.

Rabbit places wireless and control on chip for industrial automation
Rabbit launches first wireless comm and control on chip for industrial automation, plans easy-to-use, ultra-compact MiniCore networking modules.

The MathWorks automates industrial programmable control
The MathWorks has introduced Simulink PLC Coder for industrial control engineers to automatically generate IEC 61131 structured text for programmable controller devices.

ST intros Cortex-M3-based MCU
STMicroelectronics has released a 32-bit microcontroller based on a24MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor core with low end price starting at $0.85. And its is developing a evaluation kit which should be available for under $10 in the second quarter of 2010.

TI's MSP430 MCUs provide battery life at low cost
With a roadmap of 100 MCUs, the 25-cent MSP430 MCUs fit a host of applications, including safety, security, and touch sense.

Fujitsu SoCs lower cost for powerline meter apps
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) has introduced two new system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for FSK-based powerline communication (PLC). The MB87S2090 and MB87S2090-F have been developed in association with ADD Semiconductor, developer of SoCs for communication-over-powerline and solutions for automatic meter management. Both devices are pin-to-pin compatible with ADD Semiconductor's designs.

Dual-interface EEPROM enables remote access to electronic device parameters
STMicroelectronics has started to sample RFID-compatible EEPROMs that provide the flexibility to remotely program or update electronic products, anytime during their lifetime, and anywhere in the supply chain.

Current-sense amplifiers and fault-protection switches target remote RF LNAs
Maxim's new automotive-grade current-sense amplifiers with switches protect against open-load and short-circuit conditions while providing phantom power to remote RF LNAs.

Host controller handles USB data transfers to boost processing power
Future Technology Devices International has enhanced its Vinculum device line with the VNC2 user programmable dual USB 2.0 Host/Slave intelligent SoC controller that is designed with its proprietary 16-bit MCU core.
