Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC-4 Pioneer Kit is now on sale at Mouser Electronics. The easy-to-use platform allows developers to design and evaluate the Cypress CY8C4245AXI, a member of PSoC‑4 family. The PSoC‑4 product family is a combination of an ARM Cortex‑M0 microcontroller, reconfigurable analogue blocks, and digital programmable logic.

Axiomtek has launched CEM840, its COM Express Type 10 mini module powered by Intel Atom E3800 processors. Measuring only 84x55mm, the CEM840 comes with onboard 4 GB DDR3L memory, quad core, wide voltage, up to three times more graphical power, and is designed for the extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C.

Imagination Technologies has launched a development board, built around the MIPS instruction set and running both Linux and Android KitKat v4.4. The high performance, low power MIPS Creator CI20 development board is available for pre-order, targeting a wide range of amateur and professional IoT and embedded application developers.

RS Components is supporting the complete Intel Edison development platform, which includes: the ultra-small Intel Edison compute module; the Intel Edison breakout board that helps rapid prototyping; and the Intel Edison board for Arduino. The Intel Edison module is a highly miniaturised product-ready compute module built using an advanced 22nm System-on-Chip (SoC) that includes a dual-core, dual-threaded 500MHz Intel Atom CPU and a 100MHz 32-bit ...

FCI has expanded its PwrBlade ULTRA series to include the Right-Angle and Coplanar configurations. With a unique hard-metric compatible design, the vertical receptacle connectors allow the use of PwrBlade ULTRA in traditional backplane applications. The right-angle receptacle provides for low profile coplanar applications.

The PL-80490 is a 2U rackmount platform from WIN Enterprises designed to support network services. The unit features the Intel H81 Express chipset, a single-chipset design that supports socket LGA1150 4th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/ Pentium /Celeron processors. Improved performance is provided by utilising serial point-to-point links. This provides increased bandwidth and stability.

  A dual wideband transceiver in the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) format, with a frequency range of 70MHz to 6GHz, has been introduced by VadaTech. Suitable for LTE, SDR and other advanced RF applications, the FMC214 utilises eight SSMC connectors for the I/O.

DATA MODUL presents a Pico-ITX Board based on Intel Atom processors (formerly codenamed “Bay Trail”) and equipped with up to 4GB DDR3L RAM. Heat sources such as CPU and RAM are located at the rear side of the PCB, for which available cooling solutions are a heat spreader, or a heat sink with a height of only 15mm. With the heat spreader, the eDM-pITX-BT can be directly adapted to a housing.

  congatec has introduced its first industrial Thin Mini-ITX motherboard, the conga-IC87. Based on 4th gen Intel Core single-chip processors (codenamed Haswell), the motherboard features a low power consumption of just 15W TDP and long-term availability of seven or more years.

Congatec has added to its successful product range with an industrial Mini-ITX motherboard based on the Intel Atom E3800 series (codenamed Bay Trail). The conga-IA3 is an extremely low-power, high-performance SBC with embedded qualities. Rugged computer boards are available in the popular Thin Mini-ITX form factor, suited for 24/7 operation.
