LXI switching matrix supports 1024 relay closure counts
Designed to support DMMs or source meters which require the closure of up to 1024 crosspoint relays, the 60-553 LXI switching matrix has been introduced by Pickering Interfaces. Featuring a dual bus design, the 1024x4, 1-pole, 1U device can be divided into two smaller independent matrices, such as 512x4.
SBC suits IoT/M2M applications
Suitable for IoT/M2M applications, the CAPA881 SBC has been released by Axiomtek. The device features the latest 22nm 4th gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors with the Intel HM86 or Intel QM87 chipset (optional). Featuring Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, the SBC can complete more tasks in parallel and at faster speeds.
Antenna is suitable for spectrum management
A 0.5-8GHz right or left hand circularly polarised spiral antenna, which is fitted with an SMA type connector, has been introduced by Steatite. Based on the company’s 0.5-22GHz spiral antenna, the QSP-RC-0.5-8-S-SG is suitable for 360° spectrum management and direction finding antenna arrays.
CPU enables M2M & IoT applications
An ARM-based embedded CPU, which enables M2M and IoT applications, has been introduced by Eurotech. Based on the Freescale i.MX 6 series processor, the CPU-351-13 delivers high performance in a small form factor. Operating at speeds of up to 1.2GHz, the processor enables outstanding power efficiency and heat management. The device is particularly suitable for retail kiosk displays, medical equipment and control panels for fitness equipment.
10Gb/s optical transceiver uses 50-70% less power
A pluggable optical SFP+ SR transceiver, which performs at 10Gb/s while using 50-70% less power, has been released by FCI. Compliant with 10Gb Ethernet and Fibre Channel signal transmission protocols, the device is compatible with the SFF-8431 industry standard.
Innovation inside a PC, inside a mouse
Desktop PCs are predicted to enjoy a resurgence in the coming few years, in favour of tiresome tablet touchscreens and tiny phone interfaces. Heading off the anticipated demand for compact computing, a team of developers from Poland has introduced the Mouse-Box, a combination of two of the most important elements in a PC set – a computer and a mouse.
Slim fanless industrial touch PC fits tight spaces
Utilising the high-performance Intel Celeron J1900 quad-core processor, Axiomtek has announced the launch of the GOT5153W-834, a 15.6" WXGA TFT LCD fanless touch panel computer. The all-in-one industrial touch panel PC features a slim industrial design with a thickness of 59mm, allowing for easy installation in space-constrained environments.
Rugged panel PC passes anti-vibration & anti-shock tests
Suitable for industrial automation, home automation and HMI applications, the ARC-1209 panel PC has been introduced by Avalue Technology. Powered by Intel Atom E3845 1.91GHz, the device supports one 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM system memory with up to 8GB capacity.
