New consumer product applications, medical devices, security systems, and never-ending growth in automotive electronics are expanding the market for semiconductor sensors and actuator devices at about twice the growth rate of IC sales, according to IC Insights' 2007 Optoelectronics, Sensors, and Discretes (O-S-D) Report. IC Insights' newly released O-S-D Report shows worldwide sales of solid-state sensors and actuator devices growing 19% in 2007 to $6.3 billion after increasing nearly 18% in 2006 to $5.3 billion....more  (0) Comments |

This article presents BDTI's analysis of DSPs from Analog Devices, Freescale, and Texas Instruments. It covers low-cost fixed-point DSPs, high-performance fixed-point DSPs, and floating-point DSPs. The DSP processor landscape is changing in many ways. For example, in years past, vendors offered numerous "general-purpose" DSPs intended to serve a wide range of applications. Today, many DSP families are focused on certain types of digital signal processing applications, such as control loops or audio equipment. In this article, we'll take a look at the current mainstream choices in DSP processors, and describe their key target applications and competitors....more (0) Comments |

Marking the next step in Intel's "tick-tock" product strategy and cadence to deliver a new process technology with an enhanced microarchitecture or entirely new microarchitecture every year, Intel Corporation will begin producing its next-generation Penryn family of processors in the second half of this year. These new processors benefit from enhancements to the Intel Core microarchitecture and also Intel's industry-leading 45nm Hi-k process technology with its hafnium-based high-K+ metal gate transistor design, which results in higher performance and more energy-efficient processors....more (0) Comments |

Flash scaling will soon run into fundamental barriers. Alternatives being investigated include nitride-based concepts, phase-change memory, ferroelectric RAM, magnetic RAM and new resistive-switching memory concepts. Today, several technologies compete for a market segment that grows faster than the entire semiconductor market: the market of non-volatile memories (NVMs), driven by the rapidly growing demand for mobile storage. Flash memory, costing far less than earlier technologies such as electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), is currently the overwhelmingly dominant NVM technology. Besides its economic advantage, it offers high-density, fast-reading access and is electrically erasable....more (0) Comments |
