Sundance adds Xilinx Ultrascale FPGA to EMC-2 boards
Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Of Chesham has integrated Xilinx’s smallest Kintex UltraScale FPGA with its EMC2-family of embedded boards for the “OneBank” PC/104-compatible format. Sundance’s EMC2-family is a range of industrial-grade and deployment-ready PC/104 boards that feature either a Xilinx Zynq SoC or Xilinx Artix/Kintex FPGAs. The EMC2-KU35 is the latest member and has two banks …
Intel’s Mobile Puzzle
In 2010 Intel paid $1.4 billion for Infineon’s wireless unit which was then supplying the modem for the iPhone. Intel promptly lost the Apple contract and has been making a big effort to win it back – reports say it has 1,000 engineers working on the project, Now, according to Bloomberg, the iPhone 7 sold …

ADC does S-band direct digitisation in space systems
The EV12AD550 1.5GSample/s analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) from e2v is designed for a high dynamic range at 4.5GHz and S-band direct digitisation in space systems. It removes the need for down conversion stages reducing size and power consumption of the overall system. The design of what the company calls synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Earth observation systems, …
Wideband clock meets 100G Ethernet jitter spec
A range of low jitter clock oscillators from IQD cover a frequency range from 1MHz up to 1.5GHz and can be used for high speed serial interfaces such as Ethernet and PCI Express. The devices, IQXO-940, IQXO-942 and IQXO-944, have a specified phase jitter performance down to between 0.9ps and 0.05ps rms max depending upon the …
