TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION


A new Managing Director for Anixter Component Solutions


L


Ship Modelling and Simulation Centres


What is the application?


The customer provides hardware and test facilities for simulators used in the testing of operators for large vessels and cranes – requirement was for colour display and touch for a full scale ship bridge simulator of a specific off shore loading vessel.


What did they want?


A 5.7” or 7” TFT, wide viewing angle, with an HDMI interface and USB PCT to use in their new desk for test houses, 12 displays per desk for vessel simulator, 6 displays per desk for crane simulator.


What did we propose? 7” RIPDRAW solution (80-0180-000T).


Why RIPDRAW?


It meets their technical requirements in terms of high contrast, wide viewing angle display, HDMI interface, USB PCT, simple method of building into the desk via the plastic housing/carrier,


stable


design. The ability to provide a standard off the shelf part on a quick turnaround, for samples and preproduction was a major selling point, along with documented evaluation kit

Announcing congatec’s first Qseven module c


ongatec AG, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, announces the immediate availability of the conga-QA3 Qseven module based on the Intel® Atom™ processor E3845. All modules are fitted with ceramic capacitors making them ideal for industrial mobile applications in harsh environments. New features include an ample L2 cache, which can be shared by multiple cores, and a much faster Intel HD graphics unit compared with the previous generation. This turns new applications into visual experiences. The modules support Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) set, which is more relevant than ever in practical application. This allows developers to offload particularly compute-intensive packaging and encryption routines of the well- known cryptographic algorithm AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) into hardware, thereby enabling high performance encryption without putting a significant burden on the CPU cores.

Silego Technology Introduces 3rd generation 32.768 kHz Quartz Replacement Technology


ilego Technology the world leader in quartz replacement 32.768 kHz ICs introduced the third generation GreenCLK3TM 32.768 kHz oscillator family. At only 1x1.6 mm the oscillators are the world’s smallest in standard


S plastic packaging. The product


family is also available in die form with a total area of less than <0.6 sq mm or fully 50% smaller than competitive devices.


Hundreds of millions of Silego’s GCLK and GCLK2 families are in top consumer electronics products reducing the size and cost of notebooks, modules


and generation smart is 50% lower


tablets, GPS devices, phones. “The GCLK3 power, 50%


improved in ppm accuracy, and greater than a 10 dB improvement in phase noise as compared previous generations which in turn expands the number of applications that may successfully convert from quartz to silicon”, said John McDonald, Silego’s VP of Marketing.


In the lowest power mode with only the 32.768 kHz clock output active, this new generation IC consumes just 0.75 µa (typical) at tighter ppm accuracy over temperature as compared to tuning fork quartz crystals. In full active mode with both MHz clock and 32.768 kHz outputs active the IC consumes around 0.9 ma with a MHz phase noise of less than -135 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset. Virtually all wireless standards may now be clocked with GCLK3 technology based products.


Target application:


• Mobile devices that require both MHz and 32.768 kHz crystals • GPS systems with tighter ppm requirements over temperature


GCLK3 is compatible with Silego’s proprietary 0.27 mm Lo-ZTM packaging technology. Ultra-thin Lo-Z product offerings are available upon request to select customers.
