Polar Instruments announce the launch of an automatic coupon generator which dramatically reduces the time required to generate impedance test coupons compared to manual or scripted systems. Conventional methods of coupon generation require both skill and time, and even scripted systems may not be able to produce complex coplanar or waveguide coupons. These systems are also prone to errors which can result in incorrect line widths on the finishe...

e-con Systems Inc. announced the availability of eSOM270, the PXA270 based “system on module”. At volumes of 1K, eSOM270 in the highest configuration(520 Mhz Clock/128M SDRAM/32M flash) is available at USD 110. The eSOM270 is available with PXA270 @ 312/416/520 Mhz, 64/128 MB SDRAM, 16/32 MB NOR flash. eSOM270 is available with Windows CE 5.0/6.0 and Linux support

Arrow has further expanded its range of advanced development platforms with the launch of a new evaluation board for designers looking to develop FPGA-based display applications. Developed by Arrow’s European reference board team and design partner Axor International, the EasyLCD Evaluation Board is based around the low-cost Lattice ECP2 architecture.

Eurotech Ltd’s DuraCOR 1000 series of products are an ideal solution for applications ranging from advanced video capture and compression using MPEG4 and JPEG-2000, to precise communication and geo-centric applications utilising GPS and GSM/GPRS (UMTS). Additional functionality of the units includes Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet controllers, and hi-speed USB 2.0 ports capable of powering the connected devices.

BVM continues to expand its capabilities in the embedded SBC space with the addition of the new versions of the LV-679 and the LS-372 units, both based on a low power Core 2 Duo BGA CPU that typically consume around half the power of a normal mobile processor thereby simplifying cooling and power supply requirements.

Keithley Instruments, Inc. today introduced Version 2.0 of its SignalMeister™ Waveform Creation Software, a powerful RF development tool with next-generation performance and usability. SignalMeister 2.0 features a new, “object-oriented” graphical user interface (GUI) and is the only waveform creation software on the market that uses a click-and-drag objects-based approach, allowing RF engineers to intuitively create basic and complex wavefo...

IAR Systems has announced the launch of IAR PowerPac for MSP430, a fully-featured real-time operating system (RTOS) combined with a high performance file system that is highly optimized for minimum memory consumption in both RAM and ROM. IAR PowerPac is tightly integrated with IAR Embedded Workbench, and includes sample projects and board support packages for ultra-low power MSP430 microcontrollers. Both IAR Embedded Workbench and IAR PowerPac fo...

IAR Systems has announced the launch of IAR Embedded Workbench for Freescale S08, a new version of its well-known embedded development tool. The tool also provides comprehensive support for Freescale’s Controller Continuum architecture by supporting the stepwise compatibility and easy migration from 8-bit S08 microcontrollers (MCUs) to 32-bit ColdFire devices.

Encirq and Analog Devices, Inc. today announced the availability of DeviceSQL, an embedded database SDK, optimized for developing applications on the ADSP-BF548 Blackfin processor from Analog Devices. DeviceSQL is an award-winning SDK that is used to build a variety of high-speed data management functions including embedded databases, data loggers, search engines, language tables and more. It makes it easy to build extremely fast, tight, reliab...
