The latest addition to the Arrow Electronics portfolio of development tools is the DECA evaluation board, featuring Altera’s MAX 10 FPGA and Enpirion power solutions. Altera’s MAX 10 FPGAs transforms non-volatile FPGAs by integrating dual-configuration flash, analogue blocks, memory, DSP and embedded processing capabilities all within a small form-factor single chip package.

Avalue Technology has introduced the SLP-SKL, the EMX-Q170 and the EAX-Q170, which are based on the 6th generation Intel Core processor family. The 6th generation Intel Core processor family (codename Skylake) is a brand new micro-architecture built on Intel's 14nm manufacturing process. The family offers dramatically higher CPU and graphics performance, a wide range of power and feature scalability, and new advanced features that boost IoT desig...

  Four COM Express compact modules have been introduced by congatec, parallel to the launch of the new 6th generation Intel Core processors. The devices are specially designed for challenging applications that demand high performance in sealed, fanless system designs.

The C2000 Delfino F28377S LaunchPad development kit from Texas Instruments is available from Farnell element14. The development kit delivers high-performance digital control for use in power conversion and motor control applications. The low-cost development board is based on the Delfino TMS320F28377S MCU, contains 1MB of on-board flash and includes highly differentiated peripherals such as 12bit ADCs, comparators, DACs, delta-sigma sinc filters,...

An SBC with Intel Celeron Quad Core N2930/Atom Dual Core E3825 processor has been released by Advantech. The MIO-3260, which is suitable for industrial, medical POS and home automation applications, can be used in two ways: as a carrier board or as a standalone unit. 

The Digi XBee Wireless Connectivity Kit (XKB2-AT-WWC) will be available exclusively through Digi-Key for the next 90 days for $59. The platform provides a comprehensive resource for developers to better understand how XBee RF modules can be used for wireless device connectivity and sensor networking solutions.

They are barely visible to the naked eye and have names like 03015 or 01005, but they are achieving great new things in the world of electronics. The smallest of components, such as microchips, capacitors and resistors, are gaining ground when it comes to the manufacturing of electronic products. They offer new technological solutions and challenge the industry to make compromises, so as to keep up-to-date with the trend towards miniaturisation.

  Utilising Intel's latest quad core Celeron J1900 2.0GHz processor, with the same CPU performance as 3rd generation Core i3, the Advantech MIO-5251 SBC is positioned as the best choice between previous generation Atom and Core i platforms. 

Crystek Microwave announces the release of a 2.5GHZ Phase Locked Clock Source with internal reference, the CRFS75-2500. Crystek designed the module using proprietary circuitry and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonator technology to provide ultra-low jitter/phase noise performance with true SineWave output. The resulting source features -105dBc/Hz phase noise at 10KHz offset and a noise floor of -167dBc/Hz.

Pixus Technologies now offers ejector handles and panels for 3U and 6U VPX boards. Designed in Europe, the high-quality handles are offered at highly competitive prices. The Pixus Type IV IEEE hot-swap ejector handles feature a rounded base that allow the handle to rock back, providing leverage to insert/remove VPX boards more easily. The handles can engage over 1,000N (or 225 pounds) of force per slot.
