PRODUCTS SMART SOLUTIONS WIDE INPUT RANGE, MEDICALLY APPROVED DC:DC CONVERTERS T


wo new series of DC-DC converters from Polytron


Devices have been announced by Gresham Power Electronics. These devices are approved for use in medical applications including equipment and devices used in close proximity to patients. Both series are in an industry


standard miniature DIP Package and provide a regulated 3Watt output with the TWA3/MHI featuring a 2:1 wide input voltage range while the TWB3/MHIA5 Series has an ultra-wide 4:1 input voltage range. Both provide regulated single or dual output voltages over the range 3.3 to 24VDC or +/-5 to +/15VDC and have input voltage options from 4.5 to 72VDC. Polytron DC-DC converters can be supplied for through-hole printed circuit board mounting or surface mount form for automated assembly. Standard features include, High


Efficiency up to 89%, operating temperature range -40 to 1050 (with derating), reinforced

LAUNCH OF INDUSTRIAL IOT GLOBAL DEVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION


Lantronix, Inc. has released an industrial IoT application to assist with deploying lifecycle management of connected devices at scale. “We’re excited to announce the commercial availability of our first IoT management software product


offering, MACH10 Global Device Manager,” said Jeff Benck, president and CEO of Lantronix. “This release offers the ability to quickly deliver robust and secure web-scale device management for IoT devices.” A June 2017 Gartner study stated that tools that were not designed for IoT management may have many


limitations and will only be suitable for a small proportion of things and lifecycles and recommended selecting tools designed specifically for IoT management. The study stated that examples of companies that have management tools developed specifically for IoT applications included Lantronix. “Tech Data is excited to extend the Lantronix MACH10 solution to our IoT partners. The MACH10 platform


offers the agility, flexibility, and scale needed for integrating into industrial environments,” said Michelle Curtis, director of Tech Data’s IoT Practice for North America. Based on the company’s multi-dimensional MACH10 IoT platform, Global Device Manager enables OEMs


and system integrators to remotely monitor and manage their installed base of devices. Integration with MACH10 Global Device Manager is done through simple REST API calls, eliminating the need for learning additional programming languages or any porting. Running maintenance operations – from custom configurations to firmware updates to equipment resets


and reboots – is as easy as few mouse clicks, whether it’s one machine in a remote building or thousands of machines distributed across the globe. This platform’s sophisticated multi-dimensional features assist with the creation of custom portals that provide secure multi-user and role-based access while keeping devices, applications and data separate, secure, and private. www.lantronix.com/mach10


PolarFire FPGA family offers between 100k and 500k logic elements (LEs) while high performance 12.7Gbps transceivers deliver small physical size and requires around 50% less power than similar mid-range FPGAs. Additionally, the device’s 28nm non-volatile CMOS process ensures that static power requirements are about 1/10 of those found in similar devices. Beyond this, a low power Flash*Freeze mode yields good levels of standby power. Alongside the high-speed serial connectivity


and huge LE count, PolarFire offers up to 33Mbits of RAM, up to 1480 18x18 multiply accumulate blocks with hardened pre-adders, integrated dual PCIe, high speed I/O (HSIO) supporting 1600Mbps DDR4 and general purpose I/O (GPIO) for serial gigabit Ethernet. In defence applications, PolarFire provides


high bandwidth radio and image signal processing as well as delivering high anti- tamper and data security capabilities, making them ideal for secure embedded systems,secure communications, guidance, radar, aircraft data networking, avionics and more. www.sssltd.com
