AEC-6811 Provides Cost-Effective Embedded Platform Impulse has launched a low-power fanless embedded PC from Aaeon, the AEC-6811. The model, from the Boxer range, is said to provide a cost-effective embedded platform while maintaining a high level of specification for vehicle, mobile and industrial applications. The AEC-6811 features the AMD Geode LX800 500MHz low-power processor and accompanies it with DDR400 RAM SODIMM (up to 512MB) system-memory support. It also includes one SATA/IDE Hard Disk Drive and one Type II Compactflash slot for flexible storage options. It also accommodates four COM ports and four USB 2.0 ports, along with two 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports for network connectivity. The network function makes the AEC-6811 suitable for mobile and networking applications. This mini-size embedded PC also provides one MiniPCI expansion, making it suitable for industrial PC applications. The AEC-6811 includes a heat-spreading system and deploys a fanless and rugged aluminium...

ITT CoF Filters Provide Platform For TVS Connector The chip-on-flex (CoF) filters from ITT Interconnect Solutions provide the framework for a new TVS surge suppression connector. The CoF filter design, with one standard flex per layout, utilises a flexible circuit internal to the connector where chip capacitors are surface mounted on a very small pad adjacent to the feed-through contact. This flex circuit design provides the necessary platform for surface-mount TVS devices for lightning-strike protection. Off-the-shelf devices for both filtering and surge protection can be mounted using an automated manufacturing process. The result is a cost-effective, reliable, lightweight and compact design, benefiting from the thermal and mechanical performance associated with ITT Interconnect Solutions's CoF products. CoF filters offer customisable individual circuit values by adding or removing the chip capacitor and TVS devices. A range of capacitance and TVS values is available. Teste...
