Start with the news release Linear introduces H-grade switching regulator from Linear Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear Technology has announced a H-grade step-down switching regulator for load dump and cold-crank conditions commonly found in automotive applications as well as 24V industrial supplies.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Rakon TCXOs feature power management from Rakon: "Rakon has developed a range of digitally controlled temperature controlled crystal oscillator that can maximise battery life and minimise the electronic signature of military equipment. ".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from ST Microelectronics - take a look at SoC ICs for cable and terrestrial set-top boxes which says: "STMicroelectronics has unveied the STi7162 and STi5262, two System-on-Chip ICs allowing standard-definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) equipment to share the same printed-circuit-board (PCB) design.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Cypress Semiconductor, QDR and DDR SRAMs for reducing power consumption, as well as Ocean Blue SoCs suited for connected TV products from Ocean Blue, and Load board that assesses cooling systems from Elma Electronic.
