Altera Stratix IV GT FPGAs with 530K Logic Elements and
Integrated 11.3Gbps Transceivers
|
Altera Corp. has launched what is said to be the
industry’s highest density, highest system-bandwidth FPGA
addressing the stringent demands of today’s bandwidth-heavy
applications. Altera’s Stratix IV GT EP4S40G5 and EP4S100G5 FPGAs
feature 11.3Gbps transceivers and 530K logic elements (LEs) and are the
latest variants of Altera's 40-nm Stratix IV FPGA. The devices support
next-generation 40G/100G technologies, including 40/100 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) media access controllers (MACs), optical transport
network (OTN) framers and mappers, and 10G chip-to-chip and chip-to-module
bridging applications used in communications systems, high-end test
equipment and military communications systems.
The Stratix IV GT devices are the only FPGAs that offer a
single-chip solution featuring 11.3Gbps integrated transceivers that can
interface directly to a CFP optical module and meet the emerging IEEE
802.3ba standard for 100G MACs. The unprecedented density and bandwidth
in Stratix IV GT FPGAs provide designers of 40G/100G applications the
flexibility to incorporate traffic management, policing, packet
processing and their own custom functionality into a single device.
Stratix IV GT FPGAs deliver breakthrough levels of system
bandwidth and power efficiency for high-bandwidth applications. Stratix
IV GT devices feature up to 48 integrated transceivers; a low 0.9V core
power supply; on-die and on-packing decoupling; 20.7Mb of embedded
memory; and 1,024 18x18 multipliers. Stratix IV GT FPGAs also offer up
to four hard intellectual property (IP) cores for PCI Express (PCIe)
Gen1 and Gen2 (x1, x4 and x8), and support a wide range of protocols
including Serial RapidIO, GbE, XAUI, CPRI (including 6G CPRI), CEI 6G,
GPON, SFI-5.1 and Interlaken.

Atmel Introduces Industry's
first ARM Cortex-M3 Flash MCU with on-chip High Speed USB
Device-and-Transceiver
Atmel has just released the SAM3U, the industry's first ARM®
Cortex™-M3 Flash microcontroller integrating high speed (480 Mbps)
USB Device-and-Transceiver, SDIO/SD/HSMCI Host and SPI interfaces
on-chip.
This connectivity, together with the SAM3U's 96 MHz/1.25
DMIPS/MHz operating frequency, makes the SAM3U the unique Cortex-M3
device suited to applications with intensive communications requirements,
such high speed gateways in industrial, medical, data processing and
telecom applications.

New Embedded System,
EPS-910, with Rich Expandability & ability to withstand 5G Vibration!
Avalue’s latest released embedded system, the EPS-910, is
a well-designed, heat-dissipative and price-competitive industrial-level
box PC. The multifunctional features of EPS-910 are said to be
tailor-made from our customers’ demands for stability and
expandability in performing at point-of-sale (POS)/kiosk systems, as an
automation controller or in commercial scenarios.
Industrial Level
The EPS-910 is based on the Intel® Celeron® M 600MHz with a 512K L2 cache
processor. The system memory is DDR2 SDRAM 1GB (up to 2GB). The EPS-910
boasts both the advantages of industrial-level stability and
cost-efficiency. The hard disk and memory are relocated closer to the
bottom for easier maintenance by only removing four screws. The power
connector is set with a cable fixer that makes the power cord reliable.
In addition, customers can also select a phoenix-type power connector or
an optional, lockable power connector that secures the machine against
power outages. The EPS-910 also adopts a wide voltage input from 8Vdc to
36Vdc, increasing its stability while used as an in-vehicle system.

Exar Provides Simplest Full
Color Spectrum LED Lighting Solution
I2C Programmable XRP7620 Enables Full Color Control in RGBW and
RGBA LEDs for Color Mixing Applications Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR)
today announced the XRP7620, a 4 channel, I2C controlled LED driver with
independent software adjustable channel current control.
The XRP7620 is optimized for color mixing applications where a
combination of 4 LEDs is used to generate either a true white light or
expand the color spectrum generated when classic Red-Green-Blue (RGB)
three LEDs are combined with a fourth respectively white or amber LED.
Four independently adjustable current sinks provide total and precise
control of each channel allowing an exact setting of each LED’s
brightness. The XRP7620 interfaces seamlessly with processor based
designs providing unprecedented ease of use through a standard I2C bus
while reducing the number of external components to a single capacitor.
This device is also particularly suitable for small to medium
size LCD backlighting applications with a better than 3% channel to
channel matching ensuring a uniform display brightness. Parallel
implementation of several devices on the same I2C bus is possible in
order to drive and control larger banks of LEDs for larger size LCD
displays.
“Visual indicators and improved display readability
requirements are becoming more prevalent in portable and handheld devices
to maximize the user experience,” said Eric Pittana, director of
marketing for Exar’s Power Management Product Line. “The
XRP7620 enables designers to achieve true white light for improved screen
resolution or any color of light by means of simple software settings.
The XRP7620 represents true creativity and customization at your finger
tips.”
Key Product Features
With 4 independently adjustable current sink drivers, the XRP7620 is a
very versatile LED driver as well as a generic software programmable
current sink I/O expander. Operating from a single cell lithium-ion
battery or fixed 3.3V or 5V rails and supporting an industry standard
2-line I2C serial interface, each channel can be programmed up to a
current of 31.5mA in steps of 500µA. Selective channel enabling and
diming as well as overall configuration is achieved through a set of 5 internal
registers. A specific shutdown mode allows the device to retain the
previously loaded configuration – operational and current
programming – in order to be reused again when needed.
Power Management Products
Highly reliable, accurate, power management is a critical part of any
technology system. Exar has a broad array of industry-proven power
management solutions. Exar’s families of high current single chip
PowerBloxTM step-down regulators and high power LED drivers demonstrate
innovative solutions for industry standard POLA module replacements and
high performance general lighting.
