Mirai has struck again, hacking IoT devices to take out major websites such as Twitter, Spotify, Amazon and Paypal. Chinese electronics manufacturer Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology has admitted its inadvertent role in the attack. As reported by PACE earlier this month, a malware source code dubbed ‘Mirai’ has been publically released. Within two weeks of its … Continue reading Chinese manufacturer admits fault in massive cyber attack →

e2v, a leader in the high-reliability semiconductor market, and Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, have introduced the PE97640, an ultra-low phase noise FRAC-N phase-locked loop (PLL) for commercial space applications. Available exclusively through e2v, the PE97640 is the first new space product since e2v … Continue reading Ultra-low phase noise phase-locked loop for commercial applications →
