ADLINK Unveils CoreModule 730 Small Form Factor Single Board Computer

Posted by Ken Cheung in Boards, Busses on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

ADLINK Technology Inc., a leading global provider of trusted embedded products, announced the biggest architectural innovation in small form factor (SFF) rugged single board computers (SBCs) since the PC/104 bus was invented by Ampro in 1992. The new CoreModule® 730 embedded processor, based on the ultra low power Intel® Atom[tm] Z510 and Z530 processors at 1.1 and 1.6 GHz, respectively, sets a new efficiency standard for tiny rugged computers by using the new SUMIT[tm] expansion interface. It reinvents stackable and mezzanine architectures by packing an enormous amount of data bandwidth and easy connectivity – including multiple PCI Express[tm] lanes, USB 2.0 interfaces, LPC bus, I2C bus, and SPI bus – into a fraction of the space previously occupied by only the 33 MHz parallel PCI-104 bus.

Ramtron Debuts FM24V05 512Kb, FM24V10 1Mb Serial F-RAM V-Family Memory

Posted by Ken Cheung in Components on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR), the leading developer and supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) and integrated semiconductor products, has launched two more devices in a family of new parallel and serial F-RAM products that offer higher-speed read/write performance, lower voltage operation, and optional device features. The newest devices in Ramtron’s V-Family of F-RAM products are the 512-Kilobit (Kb) FM24V05, and the 1-Megabit (Mb) FM24V10. The new products are 2.0 to 3.6-volt, serial nonvolatile RAMs in 8-pin SOIC packages that use the two-wire (I2C) protocol. The FM24V05 and FM24V10 feature fast access, NoDelay[tm] writes, virtually unlimited read/write cycles, and low power consumption. The devices are drop-in replacement for 512Kb and 1Mb serial Flash and serial EEPROM memories in industrial controls, metering, medical, military, gaming, and computing applications, among others.

RadiSys Introduces Procelerant RMS420-5520DT Embedded Server

Posted by Ken Cheung in Embedded Systems on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

RadiSys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a leading global provider of advanced embedded solutions, announced the Procelerant[tm] RMS420-5520DT, a high performance server platform that supports two new E5500 Series quad-core Intel® Xeon® processors. The RMS420-5520DT has the potential to provide equivalent processing power to multiple current-generation servers. Using the new E5500 Series processors alone, the RMS420-5520DT server can deliver more than a 100 percent performance improvement over an equivalent server using current state-of-the-art quad-core processors. In addition, the RMS420-5520DT server supports up to three high power co-processors, such as GP-GPU cards, that can accelerate processing of algorithms for image or signal processing by a factor of 10-30X more than the server alone. Tremendous processing performance, combined with unprecedented I/O bandwidth and connectivity, will enable companies to reduce the number of servers needed for compute intensive applications and achieve significant cost savings.
