At Embedded World 2006 in Nuremburg, Germany, Silicon Laboratories will demonstrate its USB and industrial connectivity expo based on its industry-leading mixed-signal microcontrollers.

At Embedded World 2006 in Nuremburg, Germany, Silicon Laboratories will demonstrate its USB and industrial connectivity expo based on its industry-leading mixed-signal microcontrollers (MCUs) Silicon Laboratories will showcase its 802.15.4 and ZigBee short-range wireless technology, Ethernet connectivity and an extensive line of USB products through live product demonstrations and mini-seminars

Silicon Laboratories' ZigBee demonstration showcases the company's 2.4GHz ZigBee development kit, a flexible six-node system that allows customers to easily evaluate and integrate ZigBee wireless mesh networking.

Silicon Laboratories' ZigBee-ready solutions leverage precision mixed-signal MCUs that combine high-precision analogue peripherals and a high-throughput (up to 100MIPS) 8051 CPU with up to 128Kbyte of Flash memory.

The company's ZigBee development kit enables cost-effective remote monitoring, sensing and control via a low-power wireless platform that can be applied to a wide range of wireless automation, industrial, medical, residential monitoring and control applications.

Ethernet is the most widely deployed local area network (LAN) technology today.

Due to its ease of implementation and use and low maintenance costs, it is no longer used just to connect PCs and workstations.

Applications as varied as facilities management and utility and vending machine monitoring are routinely handled via Ethernet today.

For embedded Ethernet applications, Silicon Laboratories offers an Embedded Ethernet Development Kit which includes all of the hardware and software necessary to develop real-world embedded Ethernet applications.

Silicon Laboratories USB MCUs feature an onboard USB 2.0 function controller with integrated transceiver and on-chip clock recovery.

No resistors, crystal, regulator, EEPROM or other external components are required.

On-chip digital resources include a pipelined 8051 CPU with integrated Flash memory and UART, SMBus and SPI serial interfaces.

On-chip analogue features include an onboard ADC, voltage reference, oscillator, comparators and temperature sensor.

These devices provide a single-chip solution for embedded USB applications.

Each device comes with development tools to simplify designs and make development easy.

Additionally, Silicon Laboratories will hold several USB MCU seminars throughout Germany between 29th March and 4th April 2006.
