Start with the news release Signal conditioner for copper interconnects from Maxim Integrated Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX3987, a quad 1 to 8.5Gbps signal conditioner for copper interconnects. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Freescale processors incorporate QUICC technology from Freescale Semiconductor: "Freescale Semiconductor has introduced processors based on its QorIQ communications platform that also incorporate QUICC Engine multiprotocol technology. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from Linear Technology Corp - take a look at Linear modulator enhances basestation transmitters which says: "A low frequency direct conversion quadrature modulator from Linear offers high linearity performance and low noise to enhance the dynamic range performance of basestation transmitters.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from LSI Europe, Security library protects IP networks, as well as High-speed serdes handles many protocols from Vitesse Semiconductor, and Octal UARTs speed to 15Mbit/s from Exar.
