Fanless SBC delivers improvements in CPU processing
The MIO-5272 SBC (Single Board Computer) from Advantech has been added to Rutronik's portfolio. It comes in a 3.5” MI/O Extension (146x102) form factor and is based on Intel 6th-gen Core i7/i5/i3/Celeron processors with triple independent display capability.
Industrial motherboard designed for customisation
Manufacturer of industrial computer products, Axiomtek, is to introduce the IMB500, an industrial ATX motherboard powered by the 6th gen Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors (formally codename Skylake) in the LGA1151 socket with Intel Q170 chipset. The IMB500 supports four 288-pin DDR4-2133/1866 SO-DIMM sockets with a memory capacity of 64GB to enhance overall system performance.
Sub-1mm2 Micropower comparator enhances board space
Squeezed in a footprint smaller than 1mm2, STMicroelectronics’ new TS985 comparator combines battery-friendly micropower performance with enhanced dynamic range and high speed. The 0.8mm x 1.2mm x 0.52mm Chip-Scale Package (CSP) makes the device ideal for space-constrained applications such as smartphones, smartwatches, digital cameras, IoT devices, and portable test equipment.
8 CAN Channels for CompactPCI Serial
In cooperation with PEAK-System, the company EKF from Hamm, Germany, offers the carrier card SP4-0980-MAMBO for CompactPCI serial backplanes, applied, for example, to automotive test systems or industrial controls. With four CAN interfaces PCAN-miniPCIe from PEAK-System, the carrier card provides eight CAN channels at its front panel. They are galvanically isolated from the remaining circuits and against each other.
Mini-ITX motherboard RSB-6410 supports triple displays
The RSB-6410 has been announced by Advantech, the RISC-based Mini-ITX motherboard which drives up to three 1,080P displays powered by an NXP i.MX6D/Q Cortex-A9 1.0GHz high performance processor. To facilitate application development, RSB-6410 supports both Linux Yocto and Android OS images, a board support package (BSP), middleware and corresponding documents and design guides for reference.
Ultra-small COM express type 10 module
Launching the CEM300, a new COM Express Type 10 module, is Axiomtek, based on the latest generation Intel Pentium N3710 and Celeron N3160/N3060 quad-core/dual-core SoC processors it has support of 4GB DDR3L memory onboard. Integrated with Intel Gen 8 graphics, the COM Express Type 10 computer-on-module provides excellent graphic performance.
Demo board finds its mojo
A new demonstration circuit, the 2459A, has been introduced by Linear Technology Corporation, and features the LTC1668, 50Msps and 16-bit digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). This DAC is well suited for applications with analogue frequency content between the audio range and several MHz.
Switch evaluation kits target broadcasting sector
Evaluation kits for Veetronix’s 09 series of high-reliability switches and keycaps are in stock at Luso Electronics. The kits are aimed primarily for use in the broadcasting sector among other applications. Consisting of four mounted 09 series switches on a PCB, the compact sample kit allows engineers to evaluate the quality of the component and how it feels to touch.
LION board extends IoT development support
Support for developers of Internet of Things (IoT) products has been extended by Arrow Electronics with the introduction of the SmartEverything LION board. The LION board supports a range of functions required in an IoT sensing node and enables simple, low power connection to the Cloud via the LoRa protocol.
Low-power 3.5” single board computer introduced by DFI Tech
A 3.5” Single Board Computer (SBC) for low-power requirements is now being offered from provider of SWaP-optimised embedded computing solutions and board products, DFI Tech. The board features Intel Atom or Pentium/Celeron processor options.
