Start with the news release
Power line transceiver saves on data wires from
Yamar Electronics , which we summarised at the time by saying "Yamar is offering the SIG60 power line transceiver semiconductor that transfers UART data over existing DC power lines to save on the need for data wires. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release DC/DC controller for automotive applications from
Linear Technology: "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC3857/-1, an ultra-low quiescent current, two-phase dual-output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Avago Technologies
- take a look at Avago unveils miniature surface-mount LEDs
which says: "Avago Technologies has introduced a range of miniature PLCC-2 surface-mount (SMT) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for use in interior automotive and industrial applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Analog Devices, Blackfin processors power ANC products,
as well as BYD automobiles use Microtune antenna amplifiers from Microtune,
and Boostcap ultracapacitor cells operate at 2.7V from Maxwell Technologies.
