Etasis Electronics Corporation has announced the latest addition to the Etasis Common Redundant Power Supply (CRPS) series, the EFRP-P80A; a power supply designed for flexibly, optimal energy savings, and customizable depending on each client's need through AC/DC Etasis DualMode or Cold Redundancy.The EFRP-P80A, at 1U height with dimensions of 73.5mm (W) x 39mm (H) x 185mm (D), provides 800W output power and has a peak efficiency rate greater than 94% at 50% of total output. This power module also can operate on either 90VAC-264VAC or 192VDC-288VDC using the same universal input. Etasis has included protections for output short-circuits, overload, over-voltage, over-temperature and input under-voltage as standard features.Digitally monitoring and control can also be achieved through Power Bus Managmenet (PMBus) and can also be set to run in AC/DC Etasis DualMode which allows both AC and DC input into the same system or in Cold Redundancy - a mode which provides even more energy savings compared to conventional redundant systems.Cold RedundancyIn Cold Redundancy, energy efficiency is maximized in this "set-it-and-forget-it" feature. Each power module is able to communicate and start up or go into standby mode independently in order to achieve the highest energy efficiency. At low load, for example, it is more efficient for few power supplies to be active while the others in the system remain in standby. The unactivated power supplies will remain in standby mode or "cold" until it is optimal to do so or there is a failure of the active power supply."Our customers need simple, unique solutions", says Etasis general manager, Jim Chen. "Cold Redundancy has an ease of use that brings actual savings and energy efficiency without having to do much."Cold Redundancy creates the efficiency gain compared to traditional redundancyDuring Computex 2013, Etasis has their private showroom at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Room 1040. For more information about the EFRP-P80A, contact marketing@etasis.com.tw to book an appointment or visit the company website http://www.etasis.com.tw/ for more details.About EtasisEtasis Electronics Corporation is a professional, switching power supply manufacturer based in New Taipei City, Taiwan since 1996. Etasis specializes in the design and manufacturing of single, redundant, mini-redundant, 1+1 redundant, N+1 redundant, flex ATX, PS2, open frame, enclosed, AC/DC and DC/DC power solutions for server rack-mount and tower form factors and special IPC cases.

Feature Integration Technology (Fintek), a leading supplier of super I/O, has launched a new series of high-performance, low-power solutions such as SIOs, uSIO, USB fast charging controller ICs, level shifter ICs (F75909/910), hardware monitor (HWM) ICs, LED driver ICs, bridge ICs (PCIE to ISA, PCIE to 4/8/12 UART) and a multi-protocol serial transceiver IC (F81438). Furthermore, Fintek also offers a high definition (HD) DTV modulator, the F18800.Unlike the traditional cable connectivity HDMI and USB, or wireless WiFi, the F18800 uses wireless digital TV modulation formats such as DVB-T, ATSC, DTBM and QAM via a vacant frequency band to stream HD video to HD digital TVs and digital signage.The Fintek super I/O implements the legacy and ErP-Lot 6.0 functions. The integrated HWM can monitor several temperatures, voltages & FANs. The uSIO - F76761 - integrates the above features and embedded 8032 uC with 1M byte flash and Intel Digital Thermal Sensor 2.0. The Fintek level shifter ICs - F75909/910 - provide the best voltage design flexibility for PC vendors. The Fintek HWM ICs are approved by the many companies worldwide and continue to be the best choice.Testing the burn in test utility with many UART ports and 3D Mark, overrun would easily occur. The F81866A, F81803 and F81216H with the 128 bytes FIFO could reduce or eliminate the overrun occurrence. For special usage, Fintek offers the bridge IC PCIE to ISA, F85526, and PCIE to 4/8/12 UART, F81504/508/512, which could be used on the board or at the express card as well.

With the increasingly important role that third-party semiconductor IP (SIP) plays in advanced SoC designs, strengthening strategic partnership programs and building comprehensive ecosystems have become key competitive advantages for IP vendors to succeed in the market, so that they can provide licensees with complete solutions and help customers develop innovative products in the shortest time-to-market."Our IP fully supports a wide range of software drivers, development tools, and developer ecosystems", said Imagination Technologies, the top three SIP provider in the world. "It's an integral part of how we've built our IP solutions and also vital to Imagination's rapid growth in recent years."According to a recent report from industry analyst firm Gartner, Imagination outpaced other competitors in 2012 with a YoY revenue growth rate of 36.4%, much higher than the 17.8% of average growth rate of top ten SIP vendors.In order to respond to the escalating design challenges caused by advances of process technology and to drive continuous growth for the company, Imagination has been continuously expanding its already broad ecosystem of partners. This includes developing key partnerships with semiconductor foundries such as TSMC and GLOBALFOUNDRIES, as well as leading EDA tool vendors like Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor.Furthermore, Imagination has broadened its third party support across all of its IP core families, encompassing operating systems, EDA and tool vendors, foundries, middleware and much more.Imagination focuses on power, performance and area optimizations for its entire range of IP, including its industry-leading PowerVR GPUs, popular MIPS CPUs, and a range of other IP cores. As GPUs increasingly dominate next generation SoCs, and the options available to designers using advanced silicon processes become more complex, design flows and libraries need to be optimally tuned to enable design teams to achieve the best possible performance, power consumption and silicon area in ever more demanding timescales.To address these challenges, Imagination is working closely with TSMC to develop highly optimized reference design flows and silicon implementations using Imagination's industry-leading PowerVR Series6 GPUs combined with TSMC's advanced process technologies, including 16-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology.This collaboration with TSMC has allowed Imagination to optimise its IP for the latest process technologies and resulted in significant PPA (power, performance, area) improvements using a range of techniques such as standard-cell library and memory macro optimisations.Imagination Technologies is a leader in mobile GPU IP market. The company has been growing its PowerVR Insider developer program since 2006. PowerVR Insider has now become the most comprehensive mobile graphics ecosystem, with over 30,000 members to date, covering anything from game developers, middleware, advanced UI design, 3D navigation and video.Foreseeing the trend that more multimedia and connectivity IP cores will be integrated into SoCs, Imagination will keep strengthening collaboration programs with its partners and further expand its SIP portfolios to be widely adopted by more consumer and networking applications. By doing so, Imagination will be able to help semiconductor licensees and OEM/ODMs to get the best benefits of using SIP and develop more differentiated products.At the upcoming 2013 Imagination Summit, which will be held on June 26 and June 28 in Hsinchu and Taipei respectively, Imagination will introduce its complete SIP solutions in detail. Imagination's key partners TSMC and MediaTek will also deliver keynote speeches. To understand the latest SoC design and technology trends, as well as have interactions with Imagination's ecosystem partners, please don't miss this great opportunity!
