‘Lin Transceiver’
An Electronicstalk guide
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 Silicon introduces ultra-low-power wireless MCUs from
Silicon Laboratories: "Silicon Laboratories has introduced a range of low-power single-chip wireless microcontrollers (MCUs).".
In February 2010, we covered the news from U-blox
- take a look at Modem reference design available for licence
which says: "U-blox's N731 is a GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA modem reference design that is available for licence to OEM customers for high-volume applications. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Lime Microsystems, Lime introduces transceiver IC for femtocells,
as well as Shield supports radiation and quality measurements from Willtek Communications,
and Molex cable provides 12 channels of 10Gbps data from Molex.
