Start with the news release MLCC capacitors can be used in harsh environments from Holystone, which we summarised at the time by saying "Now available, Holy Stone's compact 'Verti-Zontal' (vertically oriented, horizontally stacked) MLCC capacitors are designed for applications with limited headroom, requiring a high-CV product.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ecospeed regulator for use with li-ion batteries from Semtech: "The wide input voltage range of Semtech's SC410 makes it suitable for use with lithium-ion battery packs and charging adapters or regulated 12 or 18V main power-supply rails in embedded applications.".
 
In January 2011, we covered the news from Linear Technology - take a look at uModule Regulator targets medical systems which says: "Applications for the LTM4618 6A DC/DC uModule Regulator include medical systems, ATCA cards, single-board computers, and industrial and networking equipment. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Faraday Technology, IPs targeted at handset communication systems , as well as DC/DC regulators for single Li+ cell applications from Intersil, and New reference design for 5W offline LED driver from Power Integrations.
