Toshiba releases new Bluetooth components

Unlike the previous developments, featuring the RF circuitry on bipolar transistors, the new RF circuitry is made using the CMOS technology. This enabled to pack the chip into the miniature 113-pin PFLGA (Plastic Fine-Pitch Land Grid Array) casing just 7x7x0.8 mm in size. The chip core features the technology licensed from Nokia, enabling the high-level compatibility with other Bluetooth platforms.

The 0.18-micron samples will arrive to the market in February 2003, the launch of volume production is expected in July. Initially, the company plans to ship up to 50,000 units per month to increase the number by the ten times in early 2004. The production is expected to feature the 0.13-micron process by that time.

Besides, today Toshiba started to ship the TB31296F Bluetooth RF path made using the SiGe Bi-CMOS technology.

Hynix announces 500MHz DDR-I chips

The new chips feature 144-pin FBGA, have 32-bit interface and provide up to 1Gbps throughput. The samples of 500MHz-128Mb (4Mx32) DDR-I SDRAM chips have already been shipped to Hynix partners. The release of DDR-II chips is expected in Q1 2003, then we should see the new 500 MHz 4Mx32 DDR-II SDRAM.

AMD officially releases Athlon MP 2400+

Along with the new processor, AMD announced the price cut for the previous Athlon MP products. The wholesale price of Athlon MP 2200+ (1.80GHz) was reduced by 7% from $224 to $208, of Athlon MP 2000+ (1.67GHz) – by 14% from $178 to $153.
