First Location System-on-Chip for ZigBee: The CC2431 from Texas
Instruments is the first SoC with a hardware location engine targeting
low-power ZigBee(R) wireless sensor networking applications, such as
asset tracking, patient monitoring, inventory control, security and
commissioning networks. It features a powerful RSSI-based location
engine, which reduces network traffic compared to centralized location
systems, and is supported by TI's Z-Stack_ protocol stack. For
development kits, samples and datasheets, visit www.ti.com/cc2431.

SAR
ADC dissipates very low power in a tiny package
Linear Technology Corp.’s LTC2366 is a 12-bit
successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) that outputs data at up to 3 Msps in tiny 6- and 8-lead TSOT-23
packages.
Power
amplifier targets 3G dual-band handsets
The latest member to join Anadigics’ growing family of
WCDMA power amplifiers is AWT6224, a dual-band module that supports both
IMT (UMTS2100) and EGSM (UMTS900) band operations.
Coaxial
isolator offers low insertion loss, high isolation
Raditek’s bc3 series of low-cost coaxial isolators are
available from 6-18 GHz with 10% bandwidth.
Wireless
control saves energy
Ad Hoc Electronics has released a new line of
self-powered wireless controls that reduce the amount of time and
materials needed to install energy management systems in green
buildings.
Miniature
wire-bondable silicon capacitors offer high stability and Q
Integrated Passive Devices (IPD) supplier OnChip Devices
has readied a wire-bondable miniature silicon chip capacitor for
RF/microwave, multichip module (MCM) and hybrid microelectronics
applications.
