Startup details video-grade Wi-Fi chip
Startup Celeno Communications Ltd. is providing the first details of its 5 GHz Wi-Fi chip that it claims can manage up to four simultaneous high definition streams over 50 meters though multiple walls and floors without losing packets.

Digital radio kit aids in development, test of signal processing applications
Colorado Electronic Product Design's digital radio kit is intended to aid in the development and test of algorithms and signal processing applications, including digital radio, modulator/demodulator development; software defined radio; high speed data acquisition and signal processing; and audio data acquisition and signal processing.

Peratech touts polymer based RFID security material
A small but fast growing British technology company, Peratech, (Richmond, Yorkshire, England) has developed switches made from an ultra-thin pressure sensitive material that it claims can overcome the problems and dangers of "contactless skimming" in security cards.

Tool targets metamaterial based wireless designs
A British government backed project has led to the release of RF design tools for antennas and phase shifters that use metamaterials.

UWB to ship in wireless HD-video role
UWB isn't about to distribute video around a home via a wireless link, but it may finally offer an alternative to the HDMI cable. While the wireless alternative can enhance functionality compared to a cable, in terms of inputs and distance between source and destination, the technology remains very expensive for now.

On/off pushbutton controller enables simpler, lower-cost switching solutions
Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX16054, a pushbutton on/off controller with debounce circuitry and ±15kV ESD protection.

Spansion targets mobiles with NAND flash
Flash memory specialist and NOR market leader Spansion Inc. will start sampling later this year its ORNAND2 MirrorBit technology based NAND devices, targeting handset makers.

300 to 930MHz receiver addresses multiple bands with software
Designed for automatic meter reading and remote controls, Melexis has launched a frequency agile RF receiver chip dubbed the MLX71122 that addresses multiple bands using software.

Ultrawideband chip debuts at tough time for wireless USB
Staccato Communications aims to escape a predicted shakeout in ultrawideband chips for wireless USB with its Ripcord2 that uses 65 nm process technology to hit size, power and cost levels it hopes will attract the kinds of volume uses that have eluded the technology to date.

Embedded timing module targets WiMAX, LTE, and PHS basestations
NDK has introduced its NCR-46 embedded timing module with an integrated GPS receiver that will automatically track and receive signals from GPS satellites.

Mini slide switches target low-height board applications
C&K Components has developed a family of miniature slide switches designed specifically for applications where height or surface area is restricted.

microSD card connectors help control card ejection in mobile devices
Molex has introduced a series of microSD card connectors that offer additional features to help control card ejection in mobile and compact devices.

Ferrite beads housed in 01005 package
Murata Electronics North America has claimed the industry's smallest ferrite beads, measuring 0.4 x 0.2 x 0.2 mm.

Silterra targets mobile displays with high-volt technology
With an eye on the consumer electronics market, particularly higher-resolution displays for smart phones, silicon foundry provider Silterra Malaysia is promoting its 0.13-micron high-voltage technology.

Voltage translator targets I²C applications
Fairchild Semiconductor has developed a voltage translator that operates over a wide voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V to accommodate the needs of I²C and low-voltage applications.
