GE Intelligent Platforms Introduces SBC325 Single Board Computer
GE Intelligent Platforms introduced their SBC325 single board computer. The GE SBC325 SBC currently features the 2.1GHz Intel Core i7-3612QE processor, up to 8 GBytes of DDR3 memory, a solid state disk drive (up to 32 GBytes), Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, USB and audio. It is available in five build levels, from benign (air cooled) to fully rugged (conduction cooled). The rugged SBC is ideal for command/control, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), radar/sonar and signal processing applications.
Real-Time & Embedded Computing Conference Includes MEDS and MILESTONE Events
The Real-Time & Embedded Computing Conference (RTECC) is headed to Boston at the Sheraton Framingham next Tuesday, May 15, 2012. The RTC Group's event features two keynotes, Android: A Medical Development Perspective (presented by Alan Cohen of Logic PD) and Where's My Drone?... and other Technology Security Issues for Tactical Military Electronics (presented by Glenn Thoren of Charles Stark Draper Laboratory). RTECC also includes two new co-located events: the Medical Electronic Device Solutions Conference (MEDS) and the Military Electronics Development Conference known as MILESTONE.
Design Automation Conference Features Keynote Speakers from ARM, IBM, Intel, National Tsing Hua University
The 49th Design Automation Conference includes keynote speakers from ARM, IBM, Intel and the National Tsing Hua University. DAC 2012 will feature at least 60 technical sessions on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. This year's conference will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, from June 3-7, 2012. DAC is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and is supported by ACM's Special Interest Group on Design.
Researchers Reduce Temperature of GaN Transistors by 20 Degrees
A research team at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering have made a breakthrough in thermal management of Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors. The research group demonstrated that hot spots in GaN transistors can be lowered by as much 20 degrees Celsius through the introduction of alternative heat-escaping channels implemented with graphene multilayers. Gallium Nitride is used in wireless applications because of its high efficiency and high voltage operation. However, GaN electronics generate a lot of heat that, until now, has been difficult to remove quickly.

Lattice Introduces New Power Management Architecture, Releases Two App Notes
Lattice Semiconductor introduced a new power management architecture. The new in-system upgradable, star topology power management architecture can be used across a wide range of circuit boards requiring over 12 power supply rails. In addition, Lattice also released two new application notes for their Platform Manager devices that will enable engineers to quickly adopt the new architecture.
PLDA Unveils QuickTCP 10G TCP/IP Stack IP Core for Altera, Xilinx FPGA
PLDA recently introduced their QuickTCP IP, which is a 10Gb TCP/IP Hardware stack IP core. It features an AMBA AXI4 user interface that enables instant integration into either Altera-based or Xilinx-based FPGA designs. PLDA QuickTCP is a 100% RTL designed IP. It is compliant with the IEEE802.3 specification and supporting the ARP, IPv4, ICMP, and TCP protocols. The PLDA QuickTCP IP solution is available now from PLDA.
