‘Handset Designs’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release TMPM36x microcontrollers for embedded applications from Toshiba Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its range of high-performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers with devices for embedded applications such as office equipment and industrial control.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ultra-compact LEDs for space-critical applications from Excelsys Technologies: "Excelsys Technologies has introduced the LDV series of ultra-compact LED drivers for applications including in-store food display, mood lighting, advertising displays and architectural lighting.".
In February 2011, we covered the news from OKW Enclosures - take a look at OKW extends range of pocket-size enclosures which says: "OKW has extended its Minitec enclosure range, which is suitable for applications such as medical devices, personal safety, detection, monitoring, emergency call, audio and remote-control electronics. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Globtek, Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer battery chargers, as well as Low-profile interconnect has high current density from Molex, and DC/DC module provides POL power management from Intersil.
