ability of a compact, high-efficiency, high
power synchronous boost DC/DC converter
IC optimized for single-cell battery applica-
tions. Many of today’s portable devices (i.e.
smartphones and tablets) are driven by sin-
gle-cell li-ion batteries that deliver an output
of approximately 4.2V at full charge. However,
when connecting to interfaces requiring 5V
output, such as USB, HDMI, and audio amps
for speakers, a DC/DC converter is needed
to boost the voltage. At the same time, longer
battery life along with greater efficiency are
demanded in a smaller form factor.
Beckhoff: multi-core oscilloscope
for “big data” applications
With TwinCAT Scope, measuring applica-
tions are as simple as could be, even for “big
data” applications: support for multi-core
processing also enables the acquisition and
display of very large quantities of data. The
software oscilloscope is fully integrated
within the TwinCAT control architecture and
enables the simple graphical display of signal
curves using the charting tool.
Toshiba: three-phase brushless
motor driver with sine wave drive
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced
a three-phase brushless motor driver IC that
achieves high efficiency and minimal noise
at a wide range of rotational speeds without
any need for complicated phase adjustment.
The TC78B016FTG is optimised for use in the
small fan motors found in home appliances
and industrial equipment.
Fujitsu extends industrial mainboard
portfolio based on AMD G-Series SOC
The Mini-ITX board family D3313-S further
grows with the sixth version of the board. The
D3313-S6 is equipped with a powerful Quad-
core SoC with 2.4 GHz and is particularly
suitable for use with graphics-intensive appli-
cations, for example in the field of digital sig-
nage and medical technology. As an industrial
motherboard the product is designed for 24/7
continuous operation and an extended tem-
perature range from 0 to 60 °C.

tions from one source: controls, Industry 4.0
gateways, infrastructure, data storage, data
security and ERP integration. The goal of
intelligent networking of people, machines
and work pieces worldwide and in real time
can become reality with the help of Janz Tec
systems and with the interwoven expertise of
the Janz Group. Janz Tec offers the “Industry
4.0 workshop” and the concept “Industry 4.0
as a service” for usage-oriented individual
concepts demanded by mid-size companies.
ARBOR chosen by Incheon Airport to
manage flight information system
Incheon International Airport is one of the larg-
est and busiest airports in the world. On average,
there are 1,600 daily flights that are displayed in
the information express terminal in Incheon
International Airport. The core requirement of
industrial computers for the flight information
system is high-performance, stability, quality
and business continuity for quick and accurate
flight information services provided to trav-
ellers. To build and sustain such an enormous
computing system, the simplicity and durability
of the IPC is the first priority.
Abaco Systems: ‘event analyzer’ – devel-
opment tool maximizes performance
Abaco Systems announced AXIS Event-
View, an innovative software tool designed
to enable customers to reduce the complex-
ity, time and cost of developing, testing and
debugging sophisticated multi-processor,
compute-intensive embedded applications
while maximizing their performance. Event-
View, previously available as part of Abaco’s
complete AXISPro software development
environment, is now offered as a standalone
tool for the company’s range of single board
computers, signal processing boards and inte-
grated systems.
ETAS: scalable ECU network in-the-loop
To manage the increasing testing required
in the time available, despite ever shrinking
development cycles, and to maintain cost
control over the long term, software testing is
now being done long before the test vehicles
are ready. One key to this is Hardware-in-the-
Loop(HiL) testing. In recent years, ETAS has
been continuously expanding the possibilities
for this kind of virtual testing, even beyond
individual ECUs: NETWORK-LABCAR is
one solution for testing highly connected
ECUs in-the-loop.
Kithara: version 10 of
RealTime Suite released
Kithara Software has released version 10 of the
RealTime Suite, which introduces a variety of
important changes for the real-time extension.
For the first time, the real-time system can be
utilized on high-performance computers with
NUMA architecture. This results in high scal-
ability of processing efficiency as well as mem-
ory upgrades of development platforms.
