Cypress USB Power Delivery
Cypress Semiconductor has launched a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) system designed to reduce the e-waste resulting from the estimated one million tons of power adapters produced per year. The EZ-PD Barrel Connector Replacement (BCR) has the potential to replace the myriad of barrel connectors currently utilized in power adapters.
USB-C connectors with USB PD provide up to 100W and are being adopted in automobiles, smartphones, laptops and tablets. This combination makes USB-C connectors suited to serve as a universal power adapter standard that eliminates the need for manufacturers to produce customized chargers.

Microsemi Field Programmable Gate Arrays for Video and Imaging Applications
Microsemi has introduced its PolarFire Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) for imaging and video needs. The system can be utilized for mid-bandwidth (4K/2K) imaging/video applications due to its increased memory and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources, in addition to providing up to 50 percent lower power than traditional Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM)-based devices.

TI Ethernet PHYs
Texas Instruments (TI) has developed two Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers, expanding connectivity options for both space-constrained applications and time-sensitive networks (TSNs). The DP83825I low-power 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet PHY has a 44 percent smaller package size and provides a 150-meter cable reach.
The DP83869HM also supports copper and fiber media, and offers high-temperature operation up to 125°C, which enables engineers to leverage the reliability of gigabit Ethernet connectivity in harsh environments.
