the sensor controller. This allows
to detect and analyze thousands of
signals in parallel.
Utilizing the 4096-point FFT option,
the time resolution of the spectrum
can be as fast as 25.6 µs per
spectrum.
congatec introduces
Server-on-Modules with new
Intel® Xeon®/Core™
processors
congatec AG, a leading technology
company for embedded computer
modules, single board computers
(SBCs) and embedded design and
manufacturing (EDM) services,
has expanded its COM Express
Basic portfolio with new server-
class embedded modules. The new
Server-on-Modules are equipped
with 6th generation Intel® Xeon®
and Intel® Core™ i3 / i5 / i7
processors (codenamed Skylake).
The DDR4 memory of the conga-
TS170 modules provides up to
twice as much system memory
performance for data-intensive
applications while consuming 20
percent less energy and requiring
only half the footprint of DDR3 RAM
that is expected to become legacy
in future applications. In addition,
the modules offer faster processor
speeds, a 60 percent accelerated
system bus and an enlarged Intel®
Smart Cache (up to 8 MB) as well
as the PCIe Gen 3.0 support for all
PCIe Lanes and the new Intel® HD
Graphics P530. Overall, users can
expect to benefit from enhanced
system performance and packing
density with lower space and energy
requirements.
LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR
LAUNCHES ICE40 ULTRA™
PLATFORM FOR WEARABLE
DEVICE DEVELOPMENT
Feature Rich, Low-Power Platform
in Compact Wrist Watch Form
Factor Supports Multiple Wearable
Applications
• iCE40 Ultra FPGA featured in
platform is 60 percent smaller than
alternative microcontrollers
• Broad range of hardware features
make platform a fit for almost any
consumer wearable device
• Platform comes with user guide
and demos to help expedite device
design
The iCE40 Ultra FPGA uses a
package that is 60 percent smaller
than alternative microcontrollers. The
iCE40 Ultra FPGA also supports a
low power standby mode for always-
on functionality, making it an ideal
choice for consumer wearables that
need to operate for days between
charges.
Hardware features and sensors
supported by the iCE40 Ultra
Wearable Development Platform
include a 1.54-inch display, MEMS
microphone, high-brightness LED, IR
LED, BLE module and 32MB of flash
memory. The platform also supports
sensors capable of measuring heart
rate/SpO2, skin temperature, and
pressure as well as an accelerometer
and gyroscope. The platform
comes in a wrist watch form factor
(1.5-inches wide x 1.57-inches long
x 0.87-inches high) with a wrist strap
and a built in battery.
