An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release CPLDs suited for portable wireline applications from Altera, which we summarised at the time by saying "Altera's Max V device range is suited for general-purpose and portable designs in wireline, wireless, industrial, consumer, computer/storage, automotive, broadcast and military applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release HEV/EV system addresses needs of PHEV markets from Intersil: "Intersil's ISL78600 HEV/EV system is designed and tested to address the safety, reliability and performance requirements of the hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicle markets. ".

In September 2010, we covered the news from Microchip Technology - take a look at MCUs target energy-monitoring applications which says: "Microchip Technology has launched the 8-bit PIC18F87J72 microcontroller (MCU) range for single-phase, multi-function smart-metering and energy-monitoring applications. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Microchip Technology, Microcontroller for smart-metering applications, as well as Microchip launches high-density microcontrollers from Microchip Technology, and Microchip MCUs feature NanoWatt XLP technology from Microchip Technology.
