3U OpenVPX SBCs carry Intel 11th gen Tiger Lake-H 8-core CPU
General Micro Systems today launched two MOSA-inspired 3U OpenVPX single board systems with more processing, storage and I/O than is available in 6U-sized boards twice the size. Based on an Intel 11th gen Tiger Lake-H 8 core Core i7 CPU with 64GB of memory, X9 SPIDER VPX boards are available in conduction- and air-cooled versions. […]
Three-phase power modules target high-efficiency telecom, networking, data center apps
The new lower-voltage, true three-phase, 6-kilowatt (kW) version from ABB Power Conversion provides the power levels needed in telecommunication and networking applications. The low-line rectifiers provide the foundation for a variety of lower-voltage power systems to be developed by ABB, starting with its low-line GPS4830. Both the low-line GP100 and GPS4830 help power designers and […]
PCIe 5.0 controllers now available with zero-latency integrated IDE
Rambus Inc. announced Compute Express Link (CXL) 2.0 and PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 controllers now available with integrated Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) modules. Delivering security at speed in CXL is critical to solving the bandwidth bottleneck in data center infrastructure. IDE monitors and protects against physical attacks on CXL and PCIe links. CXL requires […]
Rectangular enclosures protect sensitive signs from external EMC signals
Advanced automation systems are required to continuously process large amounts of sensitive data/signals to operate machines while reducing errors. However, the data/signal on the manufacturing floor has been exposed to various problems associated with electromagnetic noise made from surrounding electrical or electric machines. When electromagnetic noise is added to electronic devices from the outside, unintended […]
Updated MIPI I3C basic simplifies designs, boosts speed
The MIPI Alliance announced the first update to its publicly available, royalty-free, MIPI I3C Basic specification. Version 1.1.1 dramatically enhances the speed and flexibility of I3C Basic, simplifying the development of innovative designs for products such as smartphones, wearables, and systems in automobiles and server environments. As the successor to the legacy I2C interface, MIPI I3C/I3C Basic provides a […]
COM-HPC server module carries 80-core Arm-based SoC for embedded applications
The COM-HPC Altra is the world’s first 80-core COM-HPC server type module that eliminates power-performance limitations. The new server type module targets edge platforms that reliably and predictably process the most compute intensive workloads, eliminating bottlenecks and restrictions typically caused by memory caches and system memory limits on edge devices. The COM-HPC Altra core is […]
