High-end electronics provide drivers

Network security, Console server, single board computer

High-end electronics provide drivers and passengers with in-car navigation and entertainment and information delivered over a wireless network. In fact, many car buyers today care more about the infotainment technologies embedded in the dashboard than what's under the hood. This phenomenon is requiring additional storage space for rich multimedia data and advanced software and applications and is driving an explosive growth of both volatile and nonvolatile memories. Embedded multimedia cards are helping meet this demand in today's memory-hungry automotives.

Manage the IP selection process can help engineers effectively meet objectives and reduce risk

Industrial PC, gaming platform, networking appliance
 

Knowing how to manage the IP selection process can help engineers effectively meet objectives and reduce risk.

As digital design has proliferated the electronics world, making designs faster, easier to test, and more robust, the analog portion of embedded designs is becoming a bottleneck. To meet requirements and timetables in the analog portion, engineers generally have three weapons at their disposal: utilize peripheral analog IC, build the functionality internally (make), or purchase the IP block from an external vendor (buy). Each option has its own merits and drawbacks, but none can launch a competitive advantage better or cause more frustrating confusion than analog IP.
Traditionally, these options only apply to ASIC builds, as FPGAs are not compatible with analog IP. However, this is changing quickly. Some IP companies now provide all Register Transfer Language (RTL)-based Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), DC-DC converter controller, and clocking functions with robust performance.

Intel HM76 mobile chipset and FCPGA 988 socket AIV-HM76V0FL

Network security, Console server, single board computer
 

AIV-HM76V0FL features Intel HM76 mobile chipset and FCPGA 988 socket for 3rd generation Core i mobile computer platform. AIV-HM76V0FL adopts Acrosser’s expertise of design for in-vehicle applications.

The smart power management subsystem enables user to define the power on and off sequences through software interface or BIOS setting to meet any requirement of in-vehicle applications.

The AIV-HM76V0FL’s fanless thermal design provides the high reliability in vehicle applications. It utilizes advanced heat pipe, heat sink, and thermal pad to solve the problem of heat generated by CPU, Chipset, DRAM and power devices. This is a big challenge for designing a fanless computer what supports up to 45 Watts quad core of core i7-3720QM processors. All components used in AIV-HM76V0FL are industrial proven and only solid state capacitors are utilized for high MTBF.

AIV-HM76V0FL Features
‧ FCPGA 988 socket support Intel 3rd Generation Core i7/i5 and Celeron processors up to 45W i7-3820QM
‧ Fanless thermal design and anti-vibration industrial design
