Philips Electronics is licensing Memory Stick technology from Sony. Philips will use the technology in its Nexperia portfolio of programmable silicon on chip (SOC) and system solutions for multimedia applications.

Philips Electronics is licensing Memory Stick technology from Sony. Philips will use the technology in its Nexperia portfolio of programmable silicon on chip (SOC) and system solutions for multimedia applications.

Nexperia image processing applications will now be able to handle content stored on a Memory Stick, allowing capabilities such as real-time image rotation, zooming and panning.

Sony believes that number of Memory Stick compatible products will increase to 200mn by 2005. Philips sees new applications such as a Nexperia-based TV that will be able to access different file formats stored on a Memory Stick - including still images (JPEGs), motion video clips (MPEGs) and MP3 audio files.

Several versions of Memory Stick are available including Memory Stick Duo, MagicGate Memory Stick, and Memory Stick PRO. MagicGate Memory Stick has a capacity of up to 128MBytes and employs authentication between a device and media and provides encryption of content so that it can be used for both copyright-protected content and personal data. Memory Stick PRO has a theoretical capacity of up to 32GBytes.

Nexperia system solutions with the integrated Memory Stick technology will be available Q2 2004.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
