We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RTC", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Microcontroller accelerates USB applications from Atmel Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "MCU offers an upgrade for existing USB Full Speed designs to High Speed USB that does not require any physical change in the connectors". The same day, we featured the news release Microprocessor helps boost battery life from Renesas Technology Europe: "The SH7721 microprocessor integrates a TFT controller with up to 1024 x 1024 resolution and with an associated, dedicated 2.4Kbyte line-buffer RAM to prevent flickering".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Molex UK concerning its Mini-Fit RTC vertical headers - take a look at Vertical headers suit mid-range power which says: "Molex' Mini-Fit RTC vertical headers can withstand high SMT solder-reflow temperatures and are compatible with lead-free RoHS reflow processes".
Take a look also at the news release from Cambridge Silicon Radio, Collaboration slashes GPS costs, as well as Processor companion brings more to the party from Ramtron International, and Gaming platforms suit multiple countries from Acrosser.
