Embedded Computers for Substation Automation
Moxa
Power substations play a critical role in transporting electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and factories. However, a typical power grid can be comprised of hundreds of substations that need to monitored and controlled. Thanks to the rapid growth of computer and communication technology, power substations are becoming more automated and increasingly deploy intelligent devices to monitor and control unmanned facilities. Key factors to establishing successful substation automation systems include faster and more reliable networking solutions such as embedded computers. This white paper discusses how embedded computer systems can provide reliable automation for power substation networks.

Moxa secret behind wide temperature technology
MOXA
What does it take to design wide temperature computers that generally have an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C? By constructing an industrial computer to be operable under extreme heat and cold, manufacturers can assure reliability and reduce the likelihood of product failure for applications in a variety of harsh environments over extended periods of time. Download this white paper to learn more about the secrets behind wide temperature computers.

Is DDS for You?
RTI
Today's embedded software applications are increasingly distributed; they communicate data between many computing nodes in a networked system. Several network middleware designs have arisen to meet the resulting communications need, including client-server, message passing, and publish-subscribe architectures.

High-Density, High-Performance Integrated, Multi-Chip Memory Solutions
Austin Semiconductor
In 2006, Austin Semiconductor answered the challenge with the iPEM product line. This new product family definition was based on a 32mm x 25mm, 255 ball BGA with a ball pitch of 1.27mm. This product was defined with DDR2 as the basis for the product family electro-mechanical interconnect, facilitating backward compatibility architecture wise and backward as well as forward density migration for all family architecture members.

Designing with ARM Based Systems
Mentor Graphics
The ARM architecture is the most widely used processor architecture in the world with new licensees signing up every month. Supporting this growth is the ARM Connected Community which forms a broad ecosystem to support designers using ARM cores. Mentor Graphics are at the forefront of the ARM Connected Community from both a hardware EDA perspective as well as from the embedded software side where their Nucleus OS is deployed on more ARM powered devices than any other operating system.
