LieberLieber: cooperation with PLS
on UML test and target access
In the first week of December, at the Embed-
ded Software Engineering Congress 2014 in
Sindelfingen, Germany, LieberLieber Software
and PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme
will present their continuous tool chain for the
testing and debugging of embedded software
on the model level. Using this new compre-
hensive solution, developers using Enterprise
Architect to develop model-based embedded
software will also be able to test and debug their
work directly in the model. Among other ben-
efits, this saves a lot of time when generating C
code. Another big advantage is that already-ex-
isting code is maintained.

Microsemi: outdoor lightning protection
device for Ethernet solutions
Microsemi announced the availability of
its new high reliability PD-OUT/SP11, an
outdoor-rated lightning protection device
supporting both Power-over-Ethernet and
non-PoE enterprise installations. The new
Microsemi PD-OUT/SP11 is a single-port
device, protecting all eight wires of the Ether-
net cable while enabling data streams of up to
10/100/1000mbps and PoE levels up to 95W.
The device is optimized for outdoor devices
such as security cameras and wireless LAN
access points (AP) and features lightning
protection up to 10KV. According to market
research firm Infonetics, around 300,000 out-
door WLAN APs are expected to ship in 2014,
growing to 650,000 in 2018.

VadaTech: rugged 1U MicroTCA
chassis platform
VadaTech now offers a rugged 6-slot
MicroTCA chassis in a 1U height. The chas-
sis is designed to meet MIL-STD-901D and
810G for shock and vibration and MIL-STD-
461F for EMI. The VT950 offers the highest
performance density of any rugged 1U back-
plane-based embedded chassis in the market-
place. Competing rugged architectures are
typically at least 3U high for comparable slots/
performance. The VadaTech chassis utilizes
a thicker aluminum construction than com-
mercial enclosures, a reinforced cover, and
several other ruggedization techniques.

Toshiba: ARM Cortex-M4F equipped MCU
reduces arithmetic processing times
Toshiba has expanded its TX04 series of
microcontrollers with the launch of TMPM-
440F10XBG. The ARM Cortex–M4F core-
based microcontroller will find application in
broad range of digital devices including preci-
sion equipment, portable devices and security
cameras with motion sensors, single-lens reflex
cameras, and amusement machines. Improv-
ing performance of digital equipment is driv-
ing demand for a reduction in microcontroller
arithmetic processing times so that overall per-
formance can be maintained and improved.
