Innovasic IA186XL and IA188XL 16-Bit Microcontrollers
Innovasic Semiconductor are shipping engineering samples of the IA186XL and IA188XL 16-Bit microcontrollers. The IA186XL and IA188XL are form, fit, and function compatible with the original Intel 80C186XL and 80C188XL 16-bit high-integration embedded processors. They can also be use as replacements for the Intel base 80C186 and 80C188 devices. The Innovasic version supports internal 20-25 [...]
Zilog Z8523L Enhanced Serial Communications Controller
The Zilog Z8523L Enhanced SCC (ESCC) is a low-voltage serial communications controller (SCC) for a variety of computing applications requiring increased performance and lower power consumption. The Zilog Z8523L reduces the voltage from 5 to 3.3 volts and is ideal for computer peripherals, networking equipment, and routers. The Zilog Z85230 Enhanced SCC is available now.
Texas Instruments MSP430F471xx Microcontrollers for e-Metering
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the ultra-low power MSP430F471xx microcontroller (MCU) series. The F471xx system-on-chip metering solution features simultaneous sampling of voltage and current as well as tamper-detection for efficient and reliable energy measurement. The MSP430F471xx microcontrollers are ideal for three-phase e-metering applications. The devices are fully compatible with the $149 MSP-FET430U100A flash emulation tool and [...]
XMOS XS1-L Event Driven Processor Family for Under $5 Per Core
XMOS introduced the XS1-L series of event-driven processors. The XS1-L family is targeted at the mass electronics market with a sub $5 price point. The XS1-L processors offer embedded software developers an energy-efficient, scalable, multi-core solution that enables them to build complete systems by combining interface, DSP, and control functions entirely in software. The XS1-L1 [...]
Texas Instruments Motor Control and PFC Developer Kit
Texas Instruments introduced two Piccolo Motor Control Kits that enable PFC and sensorless field-oriented control of up to two motors with a single low-cost microcontroller (MCU). The kits include everything needed to immediately begin development of cost-sensitive motor control applications (such as pumps, HVAC, refrigerators and other appliances/white goods). The controlCARD-based kits feature a Piccolo [...]
