‘Utopia’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Processor improves DSL device designs from Wintegra, which we summarised at the time by saying "Upgraded IP-DSLAM processor is software compatible with the previous generation of WinArrow devices, simplifying upgrades for OEMs.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Access processors in Chinese basestation trials from Wintegra: "Datang Mobile is using WinPath access processors in its Super Node B, a high-capacity basestation currently participating in TD-SCDMA field trials in China, for current and future 3G deployments.".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Cypress Semiconductor - take a look at Flexible bridge eases biometric HDD security which says: "This article provides a simple, step by step design sequence to add fingerprint security to a USB mass storage device.".
Take a look also at the news release from Lattice Semiconductor UK, System chip FPGAs gain PCI Express support, as well as DSP chip combines four cores with big memory from Freescale Semiconductor, and Multiprotocol access processor hits the streets from Wintegra.
