For industry giants VC means business
Startups PicoChip, Arteris, ip.access, Tiempo and Zensys are just a few European startups to tap corporate venture capital investors in recent months. Despite changing returns and priorities in venture capital investment, money is continuing to flow from a who's who list of industry giants, including Intel, Schneider, Panasonic, Docomo, Dow Chemical, Siemens, and Qualcomm.
Bosch sees VC as an agent of change
EE Times approached Markus Thill and Claus Schmidt, managing directors at Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC), to learn more about its areas of investment and progress to date.
Software focus drives Altium's ambition
EDA company Altium Ltd. has carved out its own niche in the design tool community by integrating its software with in-house developed hardware platforms that are based on a variety of field programmable gate arrays. But this integrated approach could just be a transitional phase according to Altium founder and CEO, Nick Martin.
NXP reworks power-saving green ICs
The semiconductor industry can play a key role in improving power efficiencies, in reducing global energy consumption and in environmental sustainability. This can be done through the way it manufactures devices, how it disposes of end-of life equipment and, most importantly, how it designs components and equipment.

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
