Start with the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications, which we summarised at the time by saying "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Compact PFC controllers minimise switching losses from Power Integrations: "Circuit manufacturer Power Integrations has launched HiperPFS, a line of power factor correction (PFC) controllers with integrated high-voltage power MOSFETs, optimised for light-load levels.".
 
In November 2010, we covered the news from Atmel - take a look at Industrial control MCUs have floating point unit which says: "At Electronica 2010, Atmel announced the first 32-bit AVR microcontrollers (MCUs) with a floating point unit (FPU) for industrial control applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Z-Communications, VCO for digital radio and fixed wireless systems, as well as Spectrum analyser with high wavelength range from Yokogawa - Test and Measurement, and VCOs control frequency in demanding environments from Crystek.
