            <link>http://www.eetechbrief.com/login.php?pro=rss1&amp;event_id=103</link>
            <description><![CDATA[

Over the past decade, standards for up-screening commercial devices
to meet higher temperature, military and space-level requirements have
increased, making it a risky and potentially costly practice. Although
this practice is not condoned by component manufacturers such as
Maxim, the reality is that many OEMs shoulder these risks and actively
engage in up-screening. 

 Join Maxim's John O'Boyle for an on-demand Web Seminar devoted to
exploring the risks, costs and design ramifications associated with
up-screening and how to mitigate these risks with simple,
cost-effective solutions. Discussion topics include: 

 * Known and hidden up-screening costs 
 * Risks of up-screening 
 * Metal migration 
 * Impact on operating life 
 * Ruggedized plastic with SnPb finish standard - lead-free optional 
 100% burned-in and tri-temp tested 
 Room temp, 125C, and -55C 
 * Test programs tighter than the data sheet limits 

 Don't miss this opportunity to learn how Maxim ruggedized plastic
devices provide can improve system reliability in electrically
stressful environments in applications that demand high-temperature
performance and enhanced reliability such as mobile military and
aerospace systems.]]></description>

The TPS780/781 families of low-dropout (LDO) regulators offer the
benefits of ultra-low power, miniaturized packaging and selectable
dual-level output voltage levels. These devices are designed to be
compatible with TI MSP430 microcontrollers. Because these LDOs are
stable with any output capacitor greater than 1.0 F, implementations
of these devices require minimal board space. 

Join Pat Hunter from TI for a 7-minute Webcast discussing: 
 * TPS780xx/781xx LDOs 
 Features 
 Benefits 
 Applications 
 * Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) with TPS780xx LDOs 
 * MSP430 "F Version" Active Mode Current (IAM) VCC vs. operating
frequency 
 * Runtime calculations 
 * Battery-life comparison 

 In less than 7 minutes, developers will gain an understanding of how
to shift to a lower voltage level in a battery-powered design when the
microprocessor is in sleep mode, which can reduce overall system power
consumption. 

 Special Offer 
 Together with Avnet, TI is giving away TPS780xx evaluation modules
to the first 25 qualified attendees of this Webcast.]]></description>

"Freescale ColdFire(R) LCD Devices Enable Developers to "add touch"
to Industrial HMI Applications

 Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with touch-screen interfaces have
enhanced the ease of use of countless consumer electronics products.
To help accelerate deployment of touch-based control in industrial
human-machine interface (HMI) applications, Freescale has introduced
ColdFire(R) LCD microprocessors with an integrated touch-screen
controller. The advanced 32-bit devices provide an ideal embedded
processing solution for human-controlled commercial and industrial
applications that require exceptional performance, integration and
design flexibility.

 Freescale's MCF5227x LCD processors are designed for developers who
want to add graphical display interfaces with touch-screen support to
their commercial and industrial applications - without having to
design in numerous discrete controllers and other components.
Applications for these processors include building/home automation,
HVAC and lighting control systems, fire/security control systems,
medical and patient monitoring products, test and measurement
equipment, point-of-sale (POS) systems and large appliances (cookers,
refrigerators and washing machines).

 Backed by Freescale's extensive development ecosystem, the highly
integrated devices combine on-chip color LCD and touch-screen
controllers to give developers an easy way to enhance their
applications with touch-based user interfaces. The MCF5227x devices
are also equipped with integrated USB On-The-Go (OTG) and CAN modules
giving developers the ability to upgrade or standardize their serial
communications.

 MCF5227x processor evaluation boards are available now. The
suggested resale price for the M52277EVB evaluation system is $449
(USD).

Give More Bang for the Buck 

 CDE Cornell Dubilier large aluminum electrolytic capacitors feature
screw-terminal construction with ThermalPak(tm) for cool operation,
unique box construction MLP Flatpack(tm) capacitors for the square
holes in electronics and a huge range of snap-in capacitors. These
large aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the best value capacitors
for power electronics because they deliver low cost capacitance in
thousands of microfarads at voltages to 600 V. But selection and
application is complicated by the need to choose and specify low-cost
capacitors that will deliver the needed lifetime under the application
conditions. 

 Join CDE's Laird Macomber for a 15 minute webcast demystifying
capacitor selection with these highpoints: 
 * Realistic performance expectations 
 * Typical power electronics applications 
 * Capacitor selection keys for success 
 * CDE expected life calculator for optimizing your design.

            <description><![CDATA[

Currently, optical sensors are not the mainstream use in mice and
trackballs. With consumers demanding enhanced capabilities as well as
smaller technology for their computer peripherals, using lasers or
LEDs in smaller mice and trackballs is one of the most effective ways
of achieving that result. Laser technology makes it possible to track
on various surfaces, so you're not limited to your desktop, as well as
providing a higher degree of precision in tracking. 

 This presentation provides information on challenges and resolutions
with mouse/trackball design, from concept to creation. Avago will
review the different optical navigation techniques, how the tracking
actually works and what can be done to improve upon it. Answers to key
challenges in designing very thin mice (less than 5mm) as well as
optical sensor capabilities in trackball technology and design will be
provided as well as recommendations. 

 At the end of this presentation, you will know how the laser
technology works in tracking, how it can work in a small mouse and
other design considerations, and future trackball technology.]]></description>

Taking the Lead in Low Power--The Flexis(tm) series 8-bit and
ColdFire(R) MCUs You can have it all--integration and performance. The
Flexis(tm) series controllers were designed with increased integration
and performance to address the rigorous requirements of today's
consumer and industrial markets. The 8-bit and 32-bit ColdFire(R) V1
QE128 MCUs feature ultra-low-power peripherals to support battery
operation and reduce overall power consumption. The MCF51QE128 is also
the connection point to the 8-bit S08 architecture in the Controller
Continuum and is your entry point into the entire family of ColdFire
devices, developed for industrial markets that require exceptional
connectivity and control features. 

 Take an in-depth look at Flexis controllers, particularly the
ColdFire MCF51QE128 including:
 - Challenges and solutions for designing with low power
 - Maximizing performance while minimizing your power
 - Demonstration
 - Testing it for yourself with the low power battery calculator
 - Resources and demo kit special offer
