Posted by Ken Cheung in Microcontrollers on Tuesday, June 30, 2009

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

Posted by Ken Cheung in Microcontrollers on Tuesday, June 30, 2009

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

Posted by Ken Cheung in Microcontrollers on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

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

Posted by Ken Cheung in Industrial, Microcontrollers on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

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 [...]
