ADLINK: COM Express Compact Size
Type 6 module with 5th gen Intel Core
ADLINK announced its first COM Express
Compact Size Type 6 module, the cEx-
press-BL, based on the 5th generation Intel
Core processors i7-5650U, i5-5350U and 5th
generation Intel Core i3-5010U processor
(codename Broadwell U), with support for
up to 16 GB dual channel DDR3L memory.
Featuring improved graphics and process-
ing performance compared to the previous
generation Intel processor, the cExpress-BL
is suitable for fanless edge device solutions
that demand intense graphics performance
and multitasking capabilities in a space-con-
strained environment, such as digital signage
for medical, transport and retail, or machine
vision applications in factory automation.

Cadence at embedded world 2015
The automotive Industry is working
towards autonomous driving vehicles. As a
consequence, future cars will be equipped
with sensor clusters, more computing
power, Car2X communication technol-
ogy, high-bandwidth Ethernet networks,
and more than 15 high-definition displays.
Under the theme building the car of the
future today, Cadence will demonstrate its
solutions for ADAS, Infotainment, ECU
design, Automotive Ethernet, early software
development and verification of embedded
systems. These complex systems require
functional safety as defined in the ISO
26262 standard to be an integral part of the
automotive product development phase
ranging from the requirements specifica-
tion to design, implementation, integration,
verification, validation, and production
release. Visit Cadence and see demonstra-
tions on how to improve the features, per-
formance, efficiency, reliability, and safety
of future cars. Get information on how
new advanced semiconductor process tech-
nologies, in combination with dedicated
design IP and the latest Allegro packaging
technology, allow a new class of automo-
tive System-on-Chip or System-in-Pack-
age. For system-level development Cadence
will showcase tools for embedded software
debugging, system verification and FPGA
prototyping.

ADL: 1.7 GHz PCIe/104 Single
Board Computer
ADL Embedded Solutions announces its
ADLQM67PC-3517UE, a low-power proces-
sor extension to its popular ADLQM67PC
PCIe/104 Single Board Computer platform. The
ADLQM67PC-3517UE features a 17W 3rd gen-
eration Intel Core i7-3517UE processor coupled
with Intel‘s QM67 PCH chipset. This 3rd genera-
tion Intel Core i7 processor integrates Intel’s HD
Graphics 4000 engine with AVX2 (Advanced
Vector Extensions) as well as the memory con-
troller functions of a traditional GMCH.

PEAK-System: stamp module
for CAN FD to USB
For the simple implementation of a CAN con-
nection in own circuits, PEAK-System intro-
duces the stamp module PCAN-Chip USB
at the Embedded World 2015 in Nuremberg,
Germany. The communication with the CAN
FD channel is done via the module‘s USB 2.0
interface. The actual used physical CAN trans-
mission is determined by the transceiver to
be implemented by the developer. The stamp
module has side lengths of 25 by 20 millime-
ters and is suitable for automatic insertion due
to the single-sided component placement and
the half-whole edge contacts. The separately
available board PCAN-USB Chip Eval with
example circuits provides an environment for
testing purposes. PCAN-Chip USB will be
available in the second quarter of 2015.

Atmel: QTouch surface platform for
capacitive touch-enabled user interfaces
Atmel announced the new QTouch Surface
platform for capacitive touch-enabled user
interfaces. The new QTouch Surface platform
builds on the QTouch capacitive touch but-
ton sensing technology supported by Atmel |
SMART MCUs. The new solution includes an
on-chip peripheral touch controller, the cor-
nerstone technology that enables higher per-
formance capacitive touch on Atmel MCUs.
Consuming less than 4µA, the QTouch Sur-
face technology is perfect for wearables and
other battery-powered applications that
require a capacitive touch user interface.

dSPACE now supports CAN FD
With its latest software release 2014-B,
dSPACE is now offering a new plug-on device
– the DS4342 CAN FD Interface Module. This
module includes the new CAN FD commu-
nication standard, which can be used with
existing systems for rapid control prototyp-
ing and hardware-in-the-loop applications.
The DS4342 uses FPGA technology to sup-
port current CAN FD features and to easily
address future requirements.
