Forgive me for missing this one at the time, but I just noticed that Toshiba announced its intention to get out of GaN-on-silicon white leds by the end of last year (2015) The company had published some high-efficacy devices, and was working on 200mm wafers, but maybe yields were lower than Toshiba was comfortable with. …

Silicon Labs is sampling multiband Wireless Gecko SoCs which enable developers to use the same multiprotocol device for operation in 2.4 GHz and multiple sub-GHz bands. The devices are designed to support standards-based and proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols for short-range connectivity and proprietary sub-GHz protocols for long-range connectivity. A single hardware design can support multiple …

The Yanks love a good lawsuit and will start one at the drop of a hat on the flimsiest of evidence – but the guy who invented the iPhone 15 years before Steve Jobs, takes the biscuit. The guy didn’t actually get a patent for his design because he didn’t pay all the fees but …

There was once a memory technology which used the floating body effect of SOI as a switch. It was a capacitor-less single transistor technology 2x the density of DRAM and 5x the density of SRAM. It was invented in Switzerland by a former Micron guy and a Russian. A company raised $22 million to develop …
