Start with the news release Pick-and-place machine for electronics production from Essemtec, which we summarised at the time by saying "Essemtec is to introduce the Cobra SMD pick-and-place machine for electronics production at the Cien exhibition in Paris, France, on 24-26 May 2011.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Marvell Ethernet switches cut power consumption from Marvell: "Marvell has introduced three additions to its Link Street Ethernet switch range to provide energy-efficient solutions for the public and private cloud access markets and home cloud applications.".
 
In May 2011, we covered the news from Linear Technology - take a look at LTC6409 amplifier for pulsed-signal applications which says: "The LTC6409 from Linear Technology is a fully differential amplifier for pulsed-signal applications such as radar signal processing, imaging, high-speed test and measurement, and communications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Silicon Laboratories, Clocks ICs suitable for OTN multiservice platforms, as well as DRA decoder software for audio processors from Synopsys, and IDT releases range of digital thermal sensors from IDT.
