  The A602 is designed   for deterministic operation and offers extensive BITE features (e.g., ECC error   counters for all types of memory, monitoring of all internal voltages), internal   buses with error correction and fault-tolerant (fail-operational)   implementation. Its three processors run in lockstep mode with 2-out-of-3 voting   implemented in FPGA and software-assisted resynchronization, while its triple   redundant dynamic memory automatically corrects upsets caused by cosmic   radiation (SEU) and hardware faults. The system is powered by redundant local   power supplies with separate power supplies for the three CPUs and the three   main memory banks.<br />
  <br />

		<item><title>MEN Mikro 3 Slot, 3U compactPCI Single Euro enclosure with Conduction Cooling </title><description><![CDATA[<P>This enclosure for CompactPCI® cards in 3U format allows to use standard boards that were designed for ventilated systems even in an environment which needs conductive cooling. To do this, all critical components are directly coupled to the housing to divert waste heat to the exterior wall. This reduces the costs involved in the higher overhead of conduction cooling to the housing, and no PCB space is lost on the boards for this cooling method. This extremely robust enclosure is hermetically sealed against impacts from outside, offers high vibration and shock resistance through the use of wedge locks as well as special connector types such as MIL-C-38999. The standard front connectors of the boards are wired to four MIL-C-38999 connectors (three I/O connectors and one power supply connector) at the rear side of the system inside the housing. Both front and rear I/O can be made available on these connectors, and the pinout is always customized. </P>

		<item><title>Diamond Systems Magellan Embedded Ready Subsystem</title><description><![CDATA[<P><A href="http://www.dpie.com/etx/diamond-systems-magellan.html">Diamond Systems' Magellan</A> is a high performance, highly integrated board-level embedded-ready subsystem (ERS) that matches the footprint of the popular COM Express computer-on-module (COM) standard. </P>
<P>Magellan's CPU core consists of a COM Express CPU module and heatspreader mounted on its bottom side, resulting in optimal thermal management and increased space for I/O functions and connectors. This innovative design makes it possible for Magellan to integrate dual gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a 7-30V DC/DC power supply, a full set of peripheral interface header connectors, stackable PCI-104 or SUMIT expansion, and a FeaturePak socket, in addition to a complete embedded-PC core -- all within the 95mm x 125mm COM Express footprint. </P>
<P>Magellan is offered in a range of models that vary according to the choice of COM Express CPU module and SDRAM capacity (socketed or soldered-on). It can be used either as a highly integrated embedded component, or as a platform for application development and reference designs. </P>
<P>The Magellan baseboard layer includes connectors and interfaces for USB, serial, gigabit Ethernet, audio, and SATA mass storage devices. It supports the connection of a wide variety of displays, including CRTs, LVDS-interfaced flat panels, and televisions. Power is supplied by means of a robust six-pin terminal block. </P>
<P><IMG alt=Magellan src="http://www.dpie.com/etx/diamond-systems-magellan.jpg" width=350 height=350></P>
<P><STRONG>What is an 'Embedded-Ready Subsystem (ERS)'?</STRONG></P>
<P>An Embedded-Ready Subsystem (ERS) combines the high-performance processing and leading-edge system I/O capabilities of computer-on-modules (COMs) with the modular expansion flexibility of stackable single board computers, all within a single compact, rugged, reliable, pre-integrated module. Additionally, the modules' large thermally-conductive baseplate provides both an efficient cooling solution and a standardized mounting-hole pattern that ensures interchangeability for alternate features or performance upgrades. <BR><BR>An ERS consists of three layers, as illustrated below. The central core of the ERS is its COM layer. Below the COM layer is the thermally-conductive baseplate layer. Above the COM layer is the application layer, which provides I/O interface connectors, expansion module sockets, and in many cases additional functionality</P>
<P><IMG src="http://www.dpie.com/etx/ers.jpg"></P>
<P>This innovative design provides optimal theremal management, and makes it possible for the ERS to integrate complete embedded-PC functionality plus a full set of peripheral interface header connectors, stackable PC/104-style expansion, a <A href="http://www.dpie.com/featurepak/" target=new>FeaturePak</A> socket, an on-board flashdisk, and extra feaures such Ethernet interfaces, serial ports, and an on-board DC/DC power supply -- all within compact form-factors such as the 95mm x 125mm COM Express footprint. These highly integrated board-level subsystems can be used as plug-and-play embedded components, or as platforms for application development and reference designs. </P>]]></description><link>http://www.dpie.com/etx/diamond-systems-magellan.html</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:00:00 +0100</pubDate></item>
