Components that can be easily added and removed provide much-needed adaptability in small form factor boards and systems. WinSystems’ PXM-MiniPCIe packs plenty of flexible expansion options in the SUMIT-ISM board format defined by the SFF-SIG. 
A PC/104-Plus board with a non-Intel x86 processor stands out from the crowd, especially when it features 800 MHz performance and 3 W typical power draw. VersaLogic’s Tomcat SBC integrates the DMP Vortex86DX chip, a fully static System-on-Chip (SoC) offering compatibility with Windows...
No matter what their capacity is, memory cards won’t do you much good if they detach from their headers and cause data loss, read failures, or system malfunctions. A nifty new device from 3M Electronic Solutions helps avert this detrimental disconnection using active mechanical retent...
Multimedia capabilities are in high demand these days, as the consumer electronics fetish for connectivity and user-interactive functionality has seeped into the embedded realm. Recognizing this trend, Eurotech has quickly joined the Windows Embedded Standard 7 bandwagon, presenting a demo...
Connectivity is Mobile Internet Devices’ (MIDs’) middle name, hence the need for wireless capabilities provided in a small platform. W2CBW009Di, a WLAN Bluetooth module developed by Wi2Wi, fits the bill for these MID requirements, offering IEEE Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1...
Touted as the “next big thing in modular embedded computing,” the new FeaturePak specification promises to fulfill the industry’s need for an innovative way to add off-the-shelf I/O expansion options to COMs, SBCs, and proprietary embedded designs. Further enhancing this mez...
Electronic equipment in potentially volatile applications such as military and security systems, factory automation, and energy management must be protected from transient voltage spikes and electrically noisy surroundings. Designed for use in these types of applications, the new PICO-II8I...
Sixty-four appears to be one of the winning numbers for 2010 in the embedded computing industry. Doubling the amount of data that can be processed per cycle compared to 32-bit CPUs, 64-bit processors increase performance and simplify applications that use large data sets. |
