An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release IP core suitable for Broadcom-inclusive networks from Lattice Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lattice Semiconductor has announced the immediate availability of the HiGig MAC IP core for its low-cost LatticeECP3 FPGA range, for interconnecting multiple devices to operate as one logical network.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Mouser stocks FTDI dual USB host controller IC from Mouser Electronics: "Mouser Electronics is stocking the Vinculum-II embedded dual USB host controller IC from FTDI, a specialist in converting legacy peripherals to USB.".
In October 2010, we covered the news from Semtech - take a look at ISM-band transceiver enables wireless video apps which says: "The SX1233 programmable ISM-band transceiver has been launched for long-range wireless video and imaging applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Aeroflex, Aeroflex develops Spacewire router IP core, as well as Digital accelerometer meets motion-detection needs from Mouser Electronics, and Wireless control receivers for automotive tasks from Infineon Technologies.
