pSemi introduces integrated radio front ends for compact wireless devices. The PE566212 and PE566213 combine transmit amplification, low-noise reception and switching for 2.4 GHz applications.
Emerson has expanded NI testing capabilities for multiport wireless systems. A four-port vector network analyser and synchronisation improvements for the PXIe-5860 transceiver extend the measurement options available within automated PXI RF test environments.
Applied Materials and Intel are expanding joint semiconductor process research. Their collaboration spans transistor structures, interconnect scaling and three-dimensional chip packaging, with development work taking place at facilities in California and Oregon.
Xanadu and GlobalFoundries will industrialise photonic quantum computing components together. Their agreement covers superconducting photon detectors and low-loss silicon nitride circuits, with process development and manufacturing planned on a 300 mm semiconductor production line in New York.
Keysight has introduced switches that automate physical network test connections. The Velocity 4900 series allows laboratories to configure and reproduce test topologies remotely, with two models supporting Ethernet connections up to 100 Gbps and initial deliveries planned for January 2027.
GlobalFoundries will produce silicon interposers for TSMC’s advanced packaging programme. The $2 billion agreement adds manufacturing capacity in New York, with volume production expected to ramp during the first half of 2028.
Infineon has introduced a 27 kW server power reference design. The three-phase architecture combines SiC and silicon switches, digital control and an integrated energy buffer, achieving more than 98% peak efficiency under specified test conditions.
Saelig has introduced MegiQ RMS for complete 3D antenna characterisation. A motorised turntable and reflection processing allow spherical measurements in conventional laboratory spaces.
Solace has moved Nova into volume production for 5G equipment. The module is FCC certified and transfers up to 30W through glass for outdoor customer premises equipment.
