Infineon Technologies and Cypress Semiconductor Corporation announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Infineon will acquire Cypress for US$23.85 per share in cash, corresponding to an enterprise value of €9.0 billion. 

Rohde & Schwarz announced a promotion for its line of entry-level bench instrument solutions. “Everything you need. And more.” Customers can purchase all the bandwidth, channels, inputs, memory interfaces, signal generation and analyzer options they may ever need, at package prices.

Coilcraft’s new XAL7050 Series of high-temperature power inductors is available with inductance values from 22 to 47 µH and current ratings as high as 5.5 Amps, with low DCR for greater efficiency. For lower inductance values, Coilcraft offers a lower-profile companion, the XAL7030, with an identical footprint and inductance range of 0.16 to 10 µH.

Texas Instruments introduced a new high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with wide bandwidth, fastest sampling rate and lowest power consumption. The ADC12DJ5200RF helps engineers achieve high measurement accuracy for 5G testing applications and oscilloscopes, and direct X-band sampling for radar applications.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., launched a new series of single and dual output power supplies that delivers more usable power, bench friendly design with low background noise, small footprint and large display.

Rohde & Schwarz announced a promotion for its line of value bench instrument solutions. This promotion called “This Changes Everything” allows customers to purchase all the bandwidth, channels, inputs, memory interfaces and signal generation they may ever need, at one package price.

EDI CON China 2019 showcased award-winning products and grew attendance during this year’s event April 1-3, 2019 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, China. Completing its seventh year, EDI CON CHINA continues to be the largest microwave and high-speed digital design conference and exhibition in China.

Dialog Semiconductor Plc, announced its latest configurable mixed-signal integrated circuit (CMIC) device with low dropout (LDO) regulator performance, the SLG51000. The SLG51000 features the highest power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and lowest output voltage noise of any programmable multi-channel LDO on the market to power advanced camera and sensor systems.

One of the biggest 5G network deployment challenges is synchronizing higher volumes of more densely packed base stations. Another is keeping services operating through Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) lapses due to vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing or loss of signal. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, is solving these and other challenges for networks with additions to its Precision Time Protocol (PTP) PackeTime^® portfolio including the TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.0.

Spectrum Instrumentation has used its modular design philosophy to create a solution for customers wanting multi-channel AWGs. Having 8 AWG channels on a single PCIe-card only 168 mm in length offers great new opportunities for very compact and affordable test systems. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum's latest "65" series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum's Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC.
