Seems enough info here to justify parroting (abridged) Philips latest techo-mercial newsletter. Note the RFID discussion. Russell McMahon _____________________________ > I-CODE News - all the news on smart labels, on-line > > Covering all the latest news on smart labels, from chips to standards a= nd new applications, I-CODE News is now available on-line. In this first iss= ue, we look at our latest I-CODE ICs for miniature labels, compare the benefi= ts of the different RFID frequencies used in supply chain management, and announce a partnership with Intermec that expands our range of products f= or this key label market. We also look at successful I-CODE applications in retail, airline baggage handling, postal sorting and manufacturing automation. > > Read more >> http://www.semiconductors.com/identification/customer/icodenews/ Subject: New information @Semiconductors.com > || http://www.semiconductors.philips.com > More info at http://eNews.semiconductors.com/eNews/change/ > - Shenzhen DIC Information Technologies supports Philips Semiconductors= ' Nexperia Home Entertainment Engines in advanced set-top box designs > http://eNews.Semiconductors.com/news/content/file_677.html > - Philips Semiconductors targets telecommunications with extremely low capacitance Schottky diodes > http://eNews.Semiconductors.com/news/content/file_676.html > Low Cd Schottky diodes ideal for mobile communications applications > > Our new exceedingly low capacitance Schottky diode families are very we= ll suited for all high frequency applications and in particular, mobile communications devices such as cellular phones - designers use it specifically for the gain control stages in the RF part of a phone. Two n= ew families are currently available, including products with a capacitance o= f just 0.6 pF (available in SS-MINI SOD523 / SC-79 package), and double (SOT323 / SC-70) and triple (SOT363 / SC-88) diode versions are available. > > For more information, visit: > http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/ > Philips Semiconductors releases space-saving hookswitch transistor > > Philips Semiconductors' new dual high voltage transistor (BF485PN), in = a single SC-74 (SOT457) mini surface mount package, allows two large SOT54 (TO92) leaded packages to be replaced by a single, much smaller surface mount device =96 saving board space and enabling smaller, more reliable products with a reduced cost of ownership. > > For more information, visit: > http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/standard/bf485pn. > http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/news/content/file_502.html > http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/bf485pn > Visit Philips at ESC > > At the upcoming Embedded Systems Conference at the Moscone Center in Sa= n Francisco (April 9 - 13), we will be showcasing our exciting embedded systems technologies such as our latest Microcontrollers (including the n= ew MX family), ASICs capability, Bluetooth wireless connectivity solutions a= nd Velocity rapid silicon prototyping.

Factsheets are a two-page summary of the product family, including package photo, key features, description, block diagram, ordering part number and full feature list. And the PDF version of every microcontrolle= r factsheet is available in one single library - now even easier to find: g= o directly to www.philipsmcu.com/factsheets. > > Print it out to share with your engineering design team. Or view the PD= F first and order copies of the full color factsheet using its 12NC orderin= g code.
