Schroff: online system selection tool
Schroff VME, VPX, VXS, CompactPCI, CompactPCI Serial and Mi-
croTCA systems from Pentair are configured to customer specifications
from off-the-shelf parts and components including cooling and power
supply, etc. The modular design of these products allows some 95% of
all customer requirements to be catered for. The remaining 5% can be
served by making simple modifications to the standard systems.

Texas Instruments announces the C2000 MCU Resolver Kit, its first pro-
grammable microcontroller solution to handle resolver-to-digital decod-
ing.The C2000 MCU Resolver Kit shows designers how to implement
the digital conversion using software on programmable C2000 MCUs,
saving system cost and space in a variety of industrial applications, in-
cluding robotics, servo drives, automation, avionics and transportation.
Apacer rolls out SATA 3 SSD with storage capacity of 1TB
In order to respond to the worldwide rapid growth of Cloud and Big
Data, Apacer launched SATA 3 large capacity SFD 25H-M SSD. It pos-
sesses a storage capacity of 1TB, with sequential read/write speed of
510/420MB/sec, marking a significant specification enhancement and
an advance to virtualization technology of Big Data storage. Enterprises’
overall data processing performance will be strengthened.
Freescale: QorIQ multicore processors family
Freescale Semiconductor is introducing the QorIQ LS2085A and
LS2045A SoCs based on Layerscape architecture. The QorIQ LS2 in-
corporates a processing domainbuilt around the industry-leading 64-
bit ARM Cortex-A57 core. Tightly coupled to this domain is a set of
debug, I/O and acceleration technologies, including a packet processing
engine that abstracts hardware complexity and enables customers to
focus their resources on innovation at the application level.
Bluetechnix: automotive image sensor module
The newest Bluetechnix image sensor module ISM-AR0132AT combines
high-dynamic-range and 60 fps recording. Its sensitivity exceeds the
human eye as well as it exceeds the comfort zone of most human ob-
servers with a range of operation temperature from -40 to +85°C. The
ISM, which is based on an 1280 (H) x 960 (V) Aptina-AR0132AT, will
therefore operate and collect detailed, precise and true-color information
even in adverse weather or light conditions.
Maxim: single-phase electricity meter SoC
Using the ZON M3 (MAX71315) single-phase electricity meter SoC
fromMaxim Integrated Products, engineers now have a highly accurate,
low-cost design system for e-meters and solid-state meters. Automotive
Superior metering metrology is essential for accurate monitoring and
billing. The ZON M3 energy-meter solution integrates four 24-bit
ADCs for 4-channel data collection and ±0.1% measurement accuracy
over 5000:1 dynamic range.
SEGGER: J-Link now supports Microchip’s PIC32 family
microcontrollers
J-Link now fully supports direct debugging via JTAG on Microchip
PIC32 devices. This includes support for the IEEE 1149.2 traditional 4-
wire JTAG interface and the Microchip proprietary 2-wire JTAG interface.
Debugging via 2-wire JTAG is supported on all 2-wire JTAG
compliant PIC32 devices. To start using the J-Link with PIC32, the
only thing required is a current J-Link model and the Microchip adapter.
