Smallest, Full-Function Supply Voltage Supervisor from TI
Reduces Board Space and Power Consumption for Portable
Applications
A new family(TPS3801) of
supervisory circuits from Texas Instruments(TI) provides
designers with the industry's firs full-function Supply
Voltage Supervisor (SVS) in a PicoGate package, which
allows them to reduce board space and ease power
consumption constraints while still maintaining a high
level of system integrity. Designers can use this new
supervisory circuit for portable Digital Signal Processors
(DSPs), microcontrollers and microprocessors for portable
applications, such as wireless communication devisec,
portable and battery powered equipment, and notebook
computers. See www.ti.com/sc/aap2770u
. This circuits support a DSP that has core voltage of
2.5V, such as TI's TMS320C6201 DSP.
Optimized for portable applications, the TPS3801 is the
firs industry's, full-function SVS to come in a 5-pin
SC-70 (SOT-323) package.
Suggested 1,000-piece resale price: $0.53

AMD's
Athlon chip VS Intel Pentium III
| Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD) has launched the world's fastest and
highest-performing microprocessor for personal computers |
 |
Performance of this chip is, on average, 9% faster than
the 600 MHz Pentium III from Intel. In graphics tests, the
Athlon was 21% faster, running three-dimensional modelling
software.
Recomanded prices are for the 650-MHz version of the
Athlon $849 each, $615 for a 600-MHz Athlon , and 550- and
500-MHz versions for $449 and $249.

µFlashTCP -
single board computer
|
|
The
µFlashTCP is a single board computer
based on the Intel 386Ex, a
high-performance,
32-bit, single-chip
microcomputer that is
capable of |
protected-mode
operation. The 386Ex also includes an
extensive array of integrated peripherals.
Onboard Ethernet allows direct connection
to 10BASE-T networks. The serial ports,
counter/timers, and interrupt controller
are fully compatible with the IBM PC at
both the hardware and software levels.
With additional features such as the
watchdog timer and RS-485 serial port
capability, the µFlashTCP covers many
embedded design requirements.

MEMORY
CORPORATION INTRODUCE FASTEST HIGH PERFORMANCE
CONTROLLER IN FLASH MEMORY
Memory Corporation,
the Easdaq listed memory systems company, has
introduced FSM (Flash System Manager), a new
technology which will revolutionise the
performance of file storage applications for flash
memory. Memory Corporation started development of
Flash System Manager in 1995. Research in the
fundamental characteristics of data storage in
flash memory, including advanced mathematical
modeling, has resulted in proprietary algorithms
that offer efficient use of flash memory and
provide very high reliability. The company has
started sampling of an ATA/IDE flash controller
incorporating the new technology. The controller,
code-named FSC-2, is designed to work with
standard flash devices of NAND type from Toshiba,
Samsung, AMD and Fujitsu, as well as AND devices
from Hitachi.

ST92141,
a high performance 8/16-bit microcontroller
STMicroelectronics
has expanded its portfolio of microcontrollers
optimised for motor control applications with the
introduction of the ST92141, a high performance
8/16-bit microcontroller designed to simplify the
control of 3-phase induction motors.
Electronically controlled 3-phase induction motors
are being increasingly used in air conditioners,
industrial applications and washing machines and
other home appliances because of their high
reliability, low acoustic noise, variable speed
capability and very high efficiency.
