Start with the news release Bridge chip range for USB/(HID)-USB connectivity from Silicon Laboratories, which we summarised at the time by saying "Silicon Laboratories' latest-generation bridge chip range provides a small-footprint solution for USB and human interface device (HID)-USB connectivity. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release High-temperature data-transmission system unveiled from Cissoid: "Cissoid has unveiled RHEA, a high-temperature data-transmission solution with galvanic isolation of 2.5kV and operating reliably from -55 to 225C. ".
 
In November 2010, we covered the news from Austriamicrosystems - take a look at Flexray device manages communication traffic which says: "Austriamicrosystems has introduced the AS8223, a monolithic Flexray Standard V2.1 Rev B-compliant Active Star Device that manages communication traffic among four Flexray branches of the network.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Circuit Design, Radio modem operates in US ISM band frequencies, as well as Power management unit supports USB charging modes from Texas Instruments, and MCU devices facilitate IO-Link functionality from Renesas Technology.
