Fujitsu: industrial-grade ATX
mainboard with Intel C612 chipset
The industrial-grade ATX mainboard
D3348-B is the main new product Fujitsu
will focus on at the Embedded World fair in
Nuremberg, Germany, from February 24 to
26, 2015 (hall 2, booth 110). The mainboard is
available with Intel processors from the Xeon
E5-2xx, Xeon E5-16xx, and Core i7 58xx/59xx
series. Thanks to DDR4 memory technology,
it offers significant performance increases
compared to previous generations. Unlike
most of the comparable mainboards in the
market, it is not based on the X99 chipset, but
the C612 chipset by Intel.

R&S presents growing oscilloscope
portfolio at embedded world 2015
Rohde & Schwarz is continuously enhancing
its oscilloscope portfolio with new models,
applications and accessories, and will present
its entire portfolio of oscilloscopes at embed-
ded world 2015. High definition oscilloscopes
for signal analysis with 16 bit vertical resolu-
tion present a 256 fold improvement over the
8 bit resolution available in standard mode.
To achieve this higher resolution, the sig-
nal is lowpass-filtered directly after the A/D
converter. The digital filter reduces the noise,
while increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. The
higher resolution leads to sharper waveforms,
showing signal details that would otherwise
be masked by noise. Rohde & Schwarz has
added a new model with 200 MHz bandwidth
to its R&S RTM bench oscilloscope family.
The history and segmented memory option,
which expands the maximum memory depth
to an unprecedented 460 Msample per chan-
nel, is available for all bandwidth models. This
deep, segmented memory is especially bene-
ficial for seamless analysis of data sequences
with long rest periods such as pulsed signals
and serial I2C bus data packets.

Altium to showcase Altium
Designer 15 at embedded world
At embedded world 2015, Altium will be
showcasing Altium Designer 15, which
includes powerful new enhancements for
designing the next generation of high-speed
printed circuit boards and supports the lat-
est fabrication output standards. Modern
designs require signal propagation at rates
up to 100 gigabits per second. Designing to
these specifications in previous generation
design software is challenging. This process
traditionally required manual rework and
careful signal planning outside of the design
tool, typically in a spreadsheet program -
causing additional steps and introducing lots
of room for errors. With Altium Designer
15 a new Pin Pairs feature has been added
to enable accurate length and phase tun-
ing across termination components; enable
length, phase and delay tuning traversing an
entire signal path. Designers will no longer
require external software or have to maintain
complex lists of signals and nets, but instead
will be able to plan and route groups of high
speed nets with much greater efficiency and
accuracy.
