Microchip Introduces PIC24FJ256GA1 16-bit Microcontroller Family
Microchip Technology Inc. [NASDAQ: MCHP], a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, announced nine new members of the cost-effective PIC24F 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) family, which are the lowest power (2.6 µA standby current) large-memory (up to 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM) 16-bit microcontrollers in the world. Additionally, this is the world's first 16-bit MCU family with an integrated Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) peripheral, which—along with the royalty-free mTouch(tm) Sensing Solution software development kit—enables designers to easily add a capacitive-touch user interface without any external components. When combined with Microchip's free Graphics Software Library, engineers have access to a complete and cost-effective user interface solution. For I/O flexibility in advanced applications, the entire PIC24FJ256GA1 family allows the use of all onboard peripherals, by enabling designers to map them to the pin they desire through the "Peripheral Pin Select" pin-mapping function.

Concurrent Unveils XM 510/x24 Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet XMC Adaptor
Concurrent Technologies announces a family of networking XMC mezzanine cards - the XM 510/x24, a quad port Gigabit Ethernet adaptor supporting 1000Base-T, 100Base-Tx and 10Base-T. Where performance, functionality and space are key elements, the XM 510/x24 provides four network ports in a single-width XMC site on a suitable host board, e.g. CompactPCI®, VXS, VPX or VME. Commercial and extended temperature versions are available and ruggedized, conduction-cooled or air-cooled, versions will be available shortly. The board is designed for applications that require high-speed data throughput and lower-latency communications, such as image transfer, industrial control, telecommunications, defence and a variety of embedded markets applications.
VIA Technologies Rolls Out NAS 7800 Thin Server Board
VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of embedded silicon and platform technologies, announced the VIA NAS 7800 board, specifically designed to meet the needs of thin server and NAS segment system builders. Thin servers such as network attached storage are proving increasingly popular with small and medium sized enterprises looking for secure, energy-efficient data storage without investing in large, expensive and power-hungry corporate solutions. Boasting up to eight S-ATA II ports and two Gigabit ports, the VIA NAS 7800 combines extensive storage flexibility and a power-efficient, secure platform to meet these needs.
Agilent Introduces Six New W1314A Measurement Receivers
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) announced six new models for its W1314A measurement receiver platform that offer expanded band coverage.
