ADLINK Technology has announced the NuPRO-730, its first PICMG 1.0 full-size single board computer (SBC) to be validated with an extended operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C, and one of the first SBCs in its class to be based on a mobile CPU and chipset. Combining energy-efficient performance, low power consumption and extended temperature support, ADLINK's NuPRO-730 offers IPC distributors and system integrators a low noise, low heat ...

Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting, Inc., with its new ATOM processor technology core design, can combine custom electronic hardware with an ATOM processor core. The result is a highly integrated circuit board solution customized for your applications needs. The development time and risk are low, because Orchid Technologies has done much of these designs before. Your custom design builds on our firm foundation of design success.

NISE 3100e is the new low-cost, technically enhanced successor to the popular NISE 3100 Fan-less Industrial PC. NISE 3100e retains a number of features of the popular NISE 3100 platform such as the ultra-reliable fan-less design, multiple I/O interfaces and compact dimensions. However with numerous enhancements and long term support, the cost-effective NISE 3100e offers improved performance at a reduced cost.

Extreme Engineering Solutions is shipping XCalibur1331, a high-performance, conduction- or air-cooled, 6U VME solution featuring Freescale Semiconductor’s dual-core MPC8640D processor. The XCalibur1331 is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth processing and low power consumption.

Maxim has introduced the MAX3986, a 1Gbps to 10.3Gbps, quad linear equalizer for copper interconnects. A high-performance, stand-alone equalizer, this device offers best-in-class port matching (typical return loss is 24dB) and channel-to-channel isolation (33dB, typ). Each channel is capable of compensating for losses in 20 inches of FR4, with data rates up to 10.3Gbps.

National Instruments has announced the new LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module, which simplifies the development of advanced single- and multi-axis motion applications, and new NI C Series modules, which expand the connectivity of the NI CompactRIO programmable automation controller (PAC) platform to hundreds of servo and stepper drives from NI and third-party vendors.

The latest model of TorqSense, the non-contact digital torque measuring system, incorporates an integral sprocket or pulley, allowing easy fit-and-forget mounting in a vast range of plant and machinery such as drum mixers, generators, pump, dynamometers and conveyor drives.

As demand grows for economical equipment allowing households to access digital terrestrial television services, STMicroelectronics has introduced a single-chip DVB-T silicon tuner that enables manufacturers to simplify product assembly and supply-chain management.

CML Microcircuits is targeting its new wideband RF I/Q modulator IC at the designers of, broadband wireless access systems (WiMAX), microwave link transmitters (including ODFM/COFDM), cellular picocell/nanocell systems, satellite communications and any other wideband wireless infrastructure systems requiring high performance I/Q modulation.

SST Communications, a developer of RF front-end components and modules for a wide range of wireless applications has announced that it has doubled the output power of its 2.4 GHz WLAN power amplifier (PA) offering with the new SST12CP11. Housed in a compact 3 x 3mm QFN package, the three-stage device achieves 34 dB power gain, 26 dBm and 25 dBm linear output power at 3.5% and 2.5% EVM, respectively, at 5.0V bias with less than 470 mA current cons...
