Who Makes Telecommunication ICs

I was looking for Telcom connectors the other day, or more correctly some one who produced GigE connectors [GbE]. Specifically I was searching around for an RJ45 style connector. I happened to call up the analytic data and noticed that page views for TeleCom connectors were down a bit over the last few years so I decided it was time to update that page.

Around the same time I remember I had a page covering Telecommunication IC Vendors as well. I then pulled up pageview data for Telecom IC manufacturers and was amazed to find that page-views for telecommunication related ICs had fallen to almost zero a day. Of course I'm in the process of up-dating that page too, maybe fixing is a better word.

I think I see what the problem is, but I don't really want to talk about the competition..... At any rate, I'll have the page updated today at least in part.

This blog is about new page additions.......
Two new pages out on google sites were added primarily to hold large graphic files.
One page covers the Definition of Thermal Impedance.
The other page covers the Definition of Maximum Safe Operating Area.

Of course I linked to them, the page covering Derating a 2N3637 Transistor is linked to the Max SOA page, as the graph relates to a 2N3637 BJT. Also the Transistor Derating Guidelines page links to the Thermal Impedance definition.

The main site received a page relating to PCB Thermal Resistance for FR4 boards vs pad area. The page complements the listing of Printed Circuit Board Terms.
