MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) announced TMR9001/TMR9002/TMR9003 series, a new lineup of high-performance Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) linear magnetic field sensors with ultra-low noise around 150pT/rtHz at 1Hz, ultra-high sensitivity at 300mV/V/Oe in an ultra-compact SOP8 package. They are suited for high-end industrial sensor applications, biomedical sensor applications, and precision measurement of weak magnetic field or […]
Microchip Technology Incorporated announced that it was informed last night that the Board of Directors of Atmel Corporation had determined that Microchip’s proposal to acquire Atmel for $8.15 per share in a cash and stock transaction constitutes a “Superior Proposal” under the terms of Atmel’s merger agreement with Dialog Semiconductor PLC. Under the terms of […]
Today’s energy model is dominated by hunting for various hydrocarbon energy sources to be used for generation. The future will see a transition from hunting (and generating) energy to gathering energy. There will be numerous impacts from this transition, it helps fight global warming, it will improve operational energy efficiencies and it will have both […]

Clearly, silicon will continue to dominate power system designs for the near- and even medium-term future. But increasingly, growth will be in new materials such as SiC and GaN, enabling new solutions including power supply on chip (PSoC) and power supply in package (PSiP) approaches. The development of PSoC and PSiP will be complemented and […]
