An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs from International Rectifier, which we summarised at the time by saying "International Rectifier has expanded its offering of 40 to 100V automotive-qualified MOSFETs, including a range of logic level devices. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release EASA certifies avionics unit with Altera processor from Altera: "The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified a safety-critical avionics system that includes a DO-254/ED-80-certifiable version of Altera's Nios II embedded processor.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Ocean Blue - take a look at Ocean Blue SoCs suited for connected TV products which says: "Ocean Blue Software has ported its Sunrise HD DVB stack and Voyager HD MHEG-5 stack onto set-top box (STB) chipsets from Renesas and Trident.".
Take a look also at the news release from Osram Opto Semiconductors, LED suitable for TV and LCD monitor backlighting, as well as Tektronix offers architecture for PCI Express 3.0 from Tektronix, and YDS jacks target Gigabit Ethernet applications from MSC Vertriebs.
