Start with the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications, which we summarised at the time by saying "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release QDR and DDR SRAMs for reducing power consumption from Cypress Semiconductor: "Cypress Semiconductor has announced Quad Data Rate (QDR) and Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs at 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit densities, for networking use in medical imaging and military signal-processing.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Avago Technologies - take a look at Gain blocks for cellular bands GSM, CDMA and UMTS which says: "Avago Technologies has expanded its high-performance power amplifier range with the MGA-31589 and MGA-31689 0.5-watt gain blocks, suitable for cellular infrastructure applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Osram Opto Semiconductors, Single-chip LED with green phosphor converter, as well as Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process from Molex, and System host board for energy and medical sectors from Kontron.
