The IPC, the industry association for printed circuits and electronics assembly chose the anniversary of President Biden issuing the Presidential Determination 2023-06, to lament the lack of investment in the US PCB industry. The Presidential order, signed in March 2023, invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA), which was designed to stimulate US investment in PCB manufacture and ‘related technologies’. According ...

Following on from last year’s Embedded World announcement that Tria Technologies will be working with Qualcomm Technologies on high performance embedded compute modules. The embedded specialist unveiled more of the partnership roadmap in Nuremberg this year. There were five new Tria-branded modules, based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing and Snapdragon technology at this year’s Embedded World conference. These are the Tria IQ-9075 ...

Teensy 4.0 and 4.1 Cortex-M7 development boards are to be manufactured by SparkFun Electronics. The boards are attractive because they offer a combining a powerful (600MHz dual-issue superscaler) processor processor and Arduino compatibility, and were designed and were being manufactured by PJRC in Oregon. “PJRC and SparkFun have enjoyed a relationship for several years and we are looking forward to ...

Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...

Tria Technologies is launching COM-HPC Mini computer modules at Embedded World next week. At there heart are Intel 13th generation Core H, P or U series processors, enabling “system designers to pick from a variety of energy efficient and performance options scaling up to fourteen cores and twenty threads at 15 to 35W thermal design power”, according to Tria. Alongside ...

Advantech has put Intel’s Atom x7211RE at the center of an industrial PC measuring only 100 x 70 x 40mm. Called UNO-2271G V3, its dual-core processor is supported by 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 ram, plus options of 64Gbyte eMMC non-volatile storage and an M.2 B+M key 2242 (SATA/PCIe) slot. Windows 11 LTSC or Ubuntu 22.04 are the favoured operating systems. Standard ...

The VITA 100 standard will build on VPX’s legacy but “leapfrog” to meet increased processing and power demands. Providing a progress update, VITA 100 chair Steve Devore (pictured), described it is a continuation of VPX, supporting evolving power and data processing demands. One requirement is to double the density of today’s VPX connectors while maintaining the maximum current connector length. ...

Seco will unveil Intel Processor N-series computer-on-modules at Embedded World in March. Also called Twin Lake, the processors have up to eight ‘Efficiency’ cores and aimed at applications dissipating 6 to 15W. SOM-SMARC-TWL will have the SMARC (smart mobility architecture) form factor and provides connectivity options such as 2x NBase-T (2.5GbE supported), 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 6x USB 2.0 ...

Following the announcement of the VITA 93 (QMC) architecture for embedded system design, The embedded I/O company announced a QMC starter kit available later this year. The kit includes a single size QMC module with a multiprotocol RS232/RS422/RS485 transceiver. The air-cooled modules operates at -40°C to +85°C. There is also a dual QMC carrier, a low profile PCIe card with ...

The VITA 93 standard is based on the QMC architecture for scalable, modular embedded systems. It has been introduced to address the high-speed data processing requirements, combined with size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints of today’s mil-aero applications. Previewing the mezzanine card standard at Embedded Tech Trends, Elma Electronics’ director of system products, Mark Littlefield (pictured), explained that VITA 93 ...
