Pico Technology Extends Range of PC-Based Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

Pico Technology announced the further development of its PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes with the launch of three new 4-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 300 or 500 MHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit Flexible Resolution and up to 4 GS deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 8-channel models that were introduced earlier in the year.

Nexperia, the former Standard Products division of NXP, announced the availability of its automotive power MOSFETs in the new, LFPAK33, thermally-enhanced, loss-free package which has a footprint more than 80 percent smaller than industry standard devices. LFPAK33 MOSFETs enable the power infrastructure that allows next-generation automotive subsystems such as infotainment technology to operate reliably and efficiently.

Renesas Electronics announced the E2 Emulator, a new-generation on-chip debugging emulator. The E2 is intended as a development environment for the latest devices in the Renesas RH850, RX, and RL78 Families of microcontrollers (MCUs), and for a selection of automotive system(s)-on-chip (SoCs). The new emulator supports the extended debugging functionality of the RH850 Family and contributes to shortening the time required for CAN communication debugging and the current consumption debugging.

Anyone involved in product development, design, and production needs to attend the electronica 2016 trade-show, November 8-11. The 27th International Trade Fair for Electronic Components, Systems and Applications, will be the largest ever, featuring an additional hall to occupy a total of 13 halls at the Messe München trade-fair center, and offering even more presentations on current industry trends, such as embedded systems, connectivity, automotive electronics, home automation, smart grids, and IoT.

CSR announced two new automotive infotainment products at TU Automotive Detroit 2015. The new CSRatlas7 platform combines hardware and software to boost simplicity, lower costs, and speed time-to-market. CSR also has entered the car radio tuner front-end market with tuneX, a cost-effective software-defined radio (SDR) solution for the in-vehicle environment.

THE Home Entertainment Show has announced sweeping changes for T.H.E. Show Newport. T.H.E. Show Newport will now be held at The Hotel Irvine in Irvine, California, Friday-Sunday, May 29-31, 2015.
