The 256Gbit 48 layer device features triple level cell technology and will sample in September.Scott Nelson, senior vice president of Toshiba America Electronic Components' memory business unit said: "[This announcement is] significant...

Murata has announced a water-repellent monolithic ceramic capacitor developed by applying an innovative surface treatment.The miniaturisation of electronic devices, densely packed with components can cause an increase in the possibility of malfunctions influencing circuit operation due to ion migration.Ion migration may occur when voltage i...

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a capacitor dielectric material, using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and a nanoscale self-assembled monolayer of octylphosphonic acid, which is claimed to provide electrical energy storage capacity rivalling that of batteries.The bilayer structure blocks the injection of ele...

Infineon Technologies has reported its results for the third quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. The results show that revenue grew by 7%, a rise of €103million to €1,586m at a margin of 15.4%. Infineon predicts a 1% growth for the final quarter and a 34% increase for the full year."Revenue, earnings and margin rose significantly in...

Maxim Integrated Products has collaborated with NVIDIA to enable the analogue blocks on automotive infotainment and ADAS for NVIDIA's DRIVE CX and PX platforms.To address concerns raised about the impact that interactive technologies will have on driver distraction, automakers have increased their focus on safety requirements within enterta...

ARM has acquired Israel-based Sansa Security, a provider of hardware security IP and software for advanced SoC components embedded in IoT and mobile devices. Terms have not yet been disclosed."Any connected device could be a target for a malicious attack so we must embed security at every potential attack point," said Mike Muller, cto...

Altium has announced the release of a major update to its TASKING compiler for TriCore/AURIX microcontrollers which power advanced automotive applications. This release supports the next generation of Infineon TriCore technologies and enables engineers to begin development on advanced automotive applications before the AURIX family line is released...

Researchers at Arizona State University claim to have created the first lasers that can shine light over the full spectrum of visible colours. The device's inventors suggest the laser could find use in visual displays, lighting and a laser-based version of Wi-Fi.Previous research has created lasers that usually only emit one colour of light...

All 210 exhibition stands at the 2015 EDS events have now been allocated and visitor registration has opened for the UK's largest exhibition and conference for the Design Engineering community. EDS combines the Engineering, Electronics and Embedded Design Shows, which return to the Jaguar Exhibition Halls, Ricoh Arena, Coventry, on 21-22 Octobe...

Intel and Micron have produced a memory technology that they claim is up to 1000 times faster than NAND flash. 3D XPoint is the first new class of 'mainstream' memory technology since the introduction of NAND flash in 1989.3D XPoint technology is said to combine the performance, density, power, non-volatility and cost advantages of all...
