An Electronicstalk guide
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 Monitoring system features Nordic transceivers from Nordic Semiconductor: "Nordic Semiconductor has announced that Spantec has developed a fully comprehensive ANT+ telemedical remote monitoring system using Nordic nRF24AP2 eight-channel 2.4GHz ANT transceivers.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Rakon - take a look at Rakon TCXOs feature power management which says: "Rakon has developed a range of digitally controlled temperature controlled crystal oscillator that can maximise battery life and minimise the electronic signature of military equipment. ".
Take a look also at the news release from International Rectifier, International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs, as well as Transducers suited to shock and vibration tests from RDP Electronics, and QDR and DDR SRAMs for reducing power consumption from Cypress Semiconductor.
