eastern China are being developed to become the worlds exports of electronic components

eastern China to the Yangtze River Delta is famous for her, including Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, area and population, respectively, accounted for 1% and 5.8% of this country. However, this region in 2002 to create the gross domestic product (GDP) reached 1.9105 trillion yuan (equivalent to U.S. $ 230.07 billion), accounting for 18.5% of the total value of the country in this country; at the same time, the introduction of foreign investment contracts amounted to U.S. $ 150 billion. In the past few years, Shanghai has also tried to developing a world-class economic, financial and trade center. At the same time, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province as an international manufacturing center. Therefore, in the past few years, the region has witnessed the rapid growth of the mainland of China and the largest economy of scale. At the same time, during this period, the region of the electronic components industry experienced rapid development stage. The large export volume of the region in particular shows the tremendous prosperity of the region, the electronic components industry, which also contributed to Chinas eastern region to become the worlds components export base. Now, the regions thousands of private or foreign exporters of electronic components in the IC, capacitors, electro-acoustic components, AD604ARZ magnetic materials, micro-motors, connectors, PCB board, switches, transformers, relays, resistors, inductors such as the manufacture of electronic components. Manufacturer of electronic components 100, 43 settled in the eastern part of China. In the top ten manufacturers, there are seven in Zhejiang Province, Shanghai and Jiangsu Province. In addition, as Chinas return to the WTO, more and more multinational electronics and joint venture companies stationed in the region in the next few years, the eastern part of China in the world in the field of electronic components play a more an increasingly important role. At the same time, the microelectronics industry and optoelectronics industry will continue to cause great attention of the manufacturers and the authorities of the region, which will also be a major factor to stimulate export growth of the local electronic components industry. Therefore, most of the Yangtze River Delta, electronic components exporters will experience a 10% annual growth rate in the coming years with confidence. According to the statistics of the China Electronics Industry Yearbook, 2001, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province, the electronic components industry output and exports reached RMB 1,318.88 billion (converted into U.S. dollars at $ 15.9 billion) and $ 4.77 billion in 2002 the growth rate of output and exports 15%, respectively reached RMB 1,516.7 billion (converted into U.S. dollars at $ 18.3 billion) and $ 5.44 billion. At present, the region of several electronic components sales and export value has a leading position in the Chinese mainland, like the IC, and optical fiber cables, electro-acoustic components, magnetic materials, transformers, switches, components of the quartz crystal micro-motors and PCB board. All of these components available to the world, especially Southeast Asia, Europe and North Americas consumer electronics products, communication products and computer products manufacturer. During this period, a growing number of large foreign electronic products manufacturers moved their production bases in mainland China, especially the Yangtze River delta, so that this powerful electronic base advantage, complete upstream and downstream industry chain, rich in human resources and preferential industrial policies. As an example, according to CCID-Suzhou Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province in the laptop computer in 2002 production reached 10 million units, becoming one of the worlds largest laptop production base. At the same time, these foreign manufacturers of electronic products most exported to foreign markets, therefore, can be predicted, a large number of export of locally manufactured electronic manufactures, such as cell phones, household appliances, computers and cars, etc., will be in the next down the ADS7846E years, become the indirect export support in the area of ??electronic components. At the same time, with China to return to the WTO, due to the reduction of import tariffs for high-end electronic components and even duty-free, intensified competition in the electronic components industry in the region. However, on the other hand, local manufacturers it is easy to cause-the-art equipment to ensure that produce high quality and superior performance of the components, you can reach the international advanced standard. In addition, the update of foreign electronic products also led to the growth of export volume in the region. Most of the electronic component manufacturers are closely followed in order to meet their high-tech requirements of foreign customers to update their products to high-end development. In the Yangtze River Delta region, the sheet components, such as chip capacitors, chip resistors, chip inductors, flaky diodes and flaky transistor is still the focus of the market. In addition, the different requirements of the automotive, communications, computer and consumer electronics products will also guide the direction of development of new products. Due to low labor costs and the ringing of the investment stimuli in the AD620ARZ environment, in order to reduce product costs, a large number of foreign electronic components manufacturer in mainland China set up their production base. Especially in the eastern part of China, foreign best first choice due to its ideal location, a strong economic base and rich human resources, most of the world famous electronic components manufacturers, such as Japans Murata the Kyocera company, Matsushita, Hitachi, Intel Corporation, National Semiconductor Corporation, Philips of the Netherlands, South Koreas Samsung, etc., have been in the region to establish a wholly-owned factory or joint ventures. All of these companies have been or will be to increase the scale of production and exports of equipment in mainland China, these manufacturers will contribute to the expansion of the exports of eastern China. As the leader in economic development in the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai has to focus on high-end electronic components for color picture tube and deflection yoke, and has a leading position in the country. In addition, the city will in the next few years to build a complete chain of the semiconductor industry, in order to enable the city to become the new Silicon Valley of Chinas mainland. In recent years, Jiangsu Province has attracted investment from Japan and Taiwan manufacturers in this region, the two cities to attract these foreign manufacturers, that is, Suzhou and the element tin. Reed Business Information Center statistics show that, it is estimated that the amount of investment from Taiwan reached $ 17 billion in Suzhou. Among them, more than 70 projects invested more than $ 30 million, 17 projects of over one hundred million U.S. dollars. By the end of 2002, Wuxi New District has been the introduction of the 740 investment projects, total investment amounted to $ 2.74 billion, mainly concentrated in the new electronic components and battery projects. In addition, the provinces booming private sector for export growth to make a great contribution. In Zhejiang Province, the majority AD536AJH of electronic components manufacturer is export-oriented private sector, mainly in Ningbo, Wenzhou, Yueqing, Hangzhou and other places. They produce about 30 kinds of components, for example, like the flat panel display devices, discrete devices and high-frequency components has an absolute advantage in the domestic market share. Some of the private sector has a large-scale production capacity, high-tech research and development capabilities, as well as overseas market channels, so they can become strong competitors of foreign electronic components manufacturer in the domestic market. In addition, in these three areas, through coordination between the authorities and manufacturers, orderly competition, in order to maintain the advanced position, the eastern part of Chinas electronic components manufacturers will appear in a collaborative and integrated development trend. In this way, in the near future, the region will certainly be a world-class electronic components manufacturing base. In addition to a world-class manufacturing base in eastern China in the next few years trying to develop electronic components research and development base. In this region, the more foreign manufacturers have set up their research and development base, as they back-up in the local production base. As an example, the Shanghai municipal authorities in particular to encourage domestic and overseas research institutions and local businesses to set up joint research center to enhance the electronic technical level of the Yangtze River Delta region. : Magnetics Offers Network

ARM Cortex-M3 MCU core Adds recruits, start-up company's flagship ultra-low power applications

Based on ARM Cortex-M3 processor core application is now very common, including NXP, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments (acquired Luminary product line) other manufacturers have already have a powerful ARM Cortex-M3 core product line family. The Cortex-M3 China has accumulated a large community of developers, in 32-bit MCU area has also been very high recognition, applications ranging from consumer, household appliances, industrial, security, medical electronics and other fields. Cortex-M3 core using the MCU manufacturers usually concerned about the following features: lower power consumption, higher computing power, lower prices, more peripherals. Recently, a start-up company from Norway Energy Micro on the main low power consumption, released a new Cortex-M3 core MCU TP3057WMX products. It is understood, Energy Micro's president and CEO Geir Forre ISM band wireless communications transceiver is a leading manufacturer of Chipcon founder, Chipcon acquisition by TI in early 2006, shortly after, Geir Forre formed Energy Micro is the company, and from the TI, Nordic and other manufacturers hired a number of technical personnel, and for mixed analog-digital low-power design has a very rich experience. According to the Energy Micro's vice president Eirik Jorgensen R & D and sales vice president Bryan Hung introduced, Energy Micro in October 2009 announced the first 32-bit Cortex-M3 core EFM32 Gecko (Gecko) microcontroller family, a series of low-power applications . Recently, the company issued a second series: EFM32 'small gecko (TG). The product price less than $ 1, but with the energy of a large gecko's comparable products, with a combination of Flash and RAM of smaller features, MAX187BCWE optional space-saving QFN20, QFN32 and QFN64 packages. Bryan said the new product is very low current consumption: In Active mode the actual code execution from Flash when the power consumption per MHz of 180?A, in deep sleep mode is 900nA, in shutdown mode is 20nA. In the application benchmark, EFM32 gecko low current microcontroller performance, coupled with the start-up time to less than 2?s battery life of at least four times. Peripherals, the "small gecko can provide low-power peripherals, including low energy, UART and I2C serial interface, A / D and D / A converter and a host of counters and timers. Gecko's unique micro-controller is that it's "peripheral reflex system (peripheral reflex system) (PRS) with a standard parallel 32-bit ARM bus. PRS EFM32 gecko can run their own peripherals and communication, while the central processor is turned off, extended sleep and save a lot of energy. Energy Micro now price of only $ 69 can provide low-cost starter kit, to facilitate local engineers to invest in developing lower cost. In the Chinese market, Energy Micro has two agents with the Cooperative Extension program, in which the main push RTI POS and security, BOCCN main push industrial market, the future Energy Micro will also seek more partners and third-party design company. Because of Chipcon's background, R & D team ADS7846E in the short-range wireless transmission also has a wealth of experience. Expect the company's next-generation products will be integrated 2.4GHz wireless modules. Currently chipcon, nordic wireless products and more integrated 8051 core, the future integration of Cortex-M3 will be a trend, including the ST and other manufacturers are planning to Cortex-M3 products coupled with the wireless module. The Cortex-M3 development in China after more than four years, has entered a mature period of growth, Energy Micro to enter the market during this period, both to avoid the ADS7809U open market as hard as Luminary, took advantage of the huge development of China's current community-based, fully use of the "S curve theory. However, as many competitors, and more for international companies, Energy Micro will face many challenges. Bryan said, the beginning of the company's product line is certainly not as good as full of large companies, but small companies with customer support the advantage of strength and response speed, low power consumption of the future will be based on expanding product lines to meet the needs of Chinese customers.

United States developed the world's smallest monitor installed in the contact lens

Despite the commercialization remains to be seen, but it is combined with virtual reality on the important step. Recently, the University of Washington scientists ????? Chavez with his research - a display function of contact lenses, held in Beijing participated in Electrical and Electronic LTC1065CSW Engineers Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (IEEE BioCASE 2009) . The virtual world can be superimposed on the real picture on the latest technology, is expected to give the user unprecedented wonderful experience. U.S. scientists have developed this display can be worn on the eyes, to monitor and contact lenses combine together cleverly. He built a tiny contact lens in the LED display, mobile electronic devices can be images and text directly onto the glasses to get rid of the notebook computers, mobile phones and PDA and other mobile information device limitations. Parviz hope, the device can show a large number of images in the user front 50-100 cm distance, so that the virtual world of all types of information in the real reach of the Department will be able to view at a glance. In the development process, how to use the eye-friendly materials to produce the circuit and combined it with contact lenses, as researchers face a great challenge. Good use of nano-biotechnology and nano technology manufacturing small electronic assembly equipment Parviz designed a special set of circuit elements, and creative use of capillary action to the circuit assembly, succeeded in solving this problem. The polymer used to make lenses for not STV5730A-1 withstand high temperatures and fine chemicals used in processing the case, he diameter of only 1 / 3 mm LED circuit elements such as specially designed pre-installed on the organic substrate with a biocompatible . In the contact lens surface is first made with metal wire circuit, and etching out the shape of each component compatible with the hole, and then let the liquid spread on the surface of contact lenses, and the erection of these free components placed into the liquid. In the capillary force, the components according to their shape embedded in the lens surface corresponding slot gap, completing the circuit of subtle self-assembly process. Another challenge facing scientists is how to contact lenses for micro LED power supply. Parviz originally designed in two ways: one is through installing the antenna in contact lenses, and receive radio waves to produce energy; the other is to use photovoltaic cells. After several months of research, the scientists chose the former, and success. However, Parviz still need to continue to improve the transmission of information and power, he hopes that both will be supplied by mobile phone. British "Guardian" reported in 2008, this was still in the development process of electronic circuit with a light-emitting diode (LED) of the contact lens much appreciated, that the study, if successful, will be the most minor personal monitors. The combination of reality and virtual tremendous progress in any scientific and technological progress have a cumulative process, the development of personal monitors is no exception. As early as 1968, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) Information Processing Technology Office, Ivan Sutherland at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory developed the first helmet-mounted displays - "The Damocles AD9850BRS sword. The use of cathode-ray tube mounted display for the first time a virtual extension of people's vision, the user can see superimposed on the real environment on wireframes later the technology is widely used in fighter pilot helmet and virtual reality devices. Since then, scientists have been constantly improving the display, to make it lighter, clearer images. To June 2009, the German Fraunhofer Institute for optical micro-system scientists developed the optical display. Scientists put a CMOS sensor and a tiny projector into the OLED to a very small chip, and then install the chip on the glasses. After receiving instructions, micro-OLED projected images will be projected onto the wearer's retina, allowing the wearer to see high-resolution and high-resolution images, and feel their image at a distance of one meter distance. The chip also comes with eye tracking capabilities, through tracking the wearer's AD73360LARZ eye position to determine the wearer's command, greatly enhancing the interactivity of the display. And now, Parviz nanotechnology developed to monitor worn on the eyes. The micro-display applications bright future. In the field of so-called augmented reality, that is where all the required supporting information, such as navigation arrows, building descriptions, graphics or language translation, operating instructions, can be widely applied. In this regard, New Zealand University of Canterbury expert assessment of augmented reality ????? Manchester said: "A contact lens will be the real world and virtual graphics seamlessly link up, this is a huge step forward, although this idea to achieve business technology remains to be seen, but this prototype is in this direction an important step.
