CommAgility Debuts AMC-D1F1-1200 Module for DSP-FPGA Signal Processing
CommAgility announced its AMC-D1F1-1200, a high-performance mid-size AdvancedMC module which includes a Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C6455 digital signal processor (DSP) running at 1.2 GHz and a Virtex-4 FX100 FPGA from Xilinx. The new AMC-D1F1-1200 module is optimized for applications requiring high-end signal I/O bandwidth in a compact mid-height AMC form factor, such as wireless baseband, image processing, defense and aerospace. Using the fastest available DSP with a large FPGA enables an application to be balanced and optimized for the most effective use of resources and development time.

Wicht Technologie Consulting Updates MEMS Oscillator Report
After a few false starts, MEMS-based oscillators are finally beginning to leave the shelves in series. Already last year, close to 3 million MEMS oscillators shipped to end customers, says Munich-based technology analysts WTC – Wicht Technologie Consulting, which recently updated its research on the MEMS answer to quartz timing devices. Three companies are now delivering such devices. Discera and SiTime are manufacturing silicon MEMS oscillators, while Toyocom (part of Seiko Epson) produces micromachined quartz MEMS oscillators leveraging its so-called QMEMS process.
