Gaming monitor gives users competitive advantage
AOC has expanded its range of gaming monitors with a model that gives the user competitive advantage. The g2770Pqu is a 68.6cm (27") Full HD widescreen monitor, the largest in AOC's range, with a response rate of 1ms and refresh rate of 144Hz. The user therefore will not experience ghosting, screen-tearing or motion-blur, giving them competitive advantage, particularly when playing multiplayer games.
3.0 flash drives launched
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a range of entry-level USB 3.0 flash drives which meet consumer needs for storing music and video content and transferring data between digital products.
CMOS modem IC for HART industrial communications
Designed for highway addressable remote transducer (HART) industrial communication implementations, a single-chip CMOS modem IC has been unveiled by ON Semiconductor. The NCN5193 supports Bell 202 shift frequencies of 1200-2200Hz and is capable of delivering a 1200bps half-duplex data rate.
Jacinto 6 processor enhances in-vehicle infotainment
The newest member of Texas Instruments' Jacinto platform, the DRA72x “Jacinto 6 Eco” SoC has been introduced. Manufacturers can use the DRA72x processor to cost-effectively integrate and deliver high-integrity audio, simultaneous multimedia streaming and device connectivity in a wide range of automobiles, including the burgeoning entry- to mid-level segment.
Chassis can accomodate any 3.5” SBCs
Accommodating any 3.5” SBCs, the ES520 compact embedded chassis has been introduced by DFI. The chassis can easily fit into any space-limited environments owing to the product's 166mm x 50mm x 157.3mm dimensions.
Embeded system targets PoE applications
Supporting the 3rd and 2nd Intel Core processors, the EC300 fanless embedded system has been introduced by DFI. The system takes full advantage of the Intel QM77 chipset which is packed with high performance I/O capabilities to provide increased mobile computing and graphics performance.
COM uses 4th Gen Intel Core U-series SoC
A COM Express Compact module, designated the HU968, has been launched by DFI. Expanding upon the company's existing Intel Core product line, the U-Series platform has BGA 1168 packaging technology which features smart performance, high speed I/O, and low-power consumption at only 15W TDP. The module's mall form factor of 95mm x 95mm helps save space while providing better connectivity.
Platform meets IP networks test requirements
GL Communications has released products for Testing/Emulation of Media and Signalling Gateway. Carriers and enterprises are migrating to IP Networks from traditional PSTN Networks because IP Networks provide substantial advantages -- such as voice, data, and video convergence, greater platform densities, rapid service and feature enhancements, and productivity gains from unified communications.
PLC modems enable the support of multiple regions with one device
A power line communication (PLC) modem platform, enabling the support of multiple regions with one device, has been unveiled by Texas Instruments. The optimised TMDSPLCKITV4 kits provide developers with a smaller low-cost design to evaluate any narrowband OFDM PLC technology standard for use in a variety of industrial systems such as smart grid advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), solar energy installations, and building and factory automation...
ICs optimise antenna efficiency in 4G devices
The introduction of a series of antenna tuning ICs signals an expansion of Infineon's IC solutions for the RF front end. Instrumental in improving end user experience in 4G smartphones and tablets, the BGA1xGN10 ICs optimise antenna characteristics to allow for highest data rate operation in relevant LTE bands.
