Web exclusive The IEEE 802.11ac WLAN standard provides high data throughput of 1Gbit/sec and more. Rohde & Schwarz’s FSW can be used to design chipsets and modules in line with IEEE 802.11ac and to analyse WLAN signals over the full bandwidth with high accuracy, claims the company. With the 256QAM modulation process, up to eight MIMO data streams and bandwidths four times more than that of previous standards such as IEEE 802.11n, it supports data rates up to 6.9 Gbit/sec. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5636 Cypress Semiconductor has released a rapid-prototyping solution that simplifies streaming video, images and other data from Altera FPGAs to a host processor at speeds up to 400Mbyte/sec. The rapid prototyping system includes a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 device interface board that connects to Arrow Electronics’ BeMicro software development kit, which hosts an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5630 ON Semiconductor has introduced the NCN49597, a PLC (power line carrier) modem SoC for use in applications such as e-metering, home automation, solar energy and lighting control. The PLC modem combines a lowpower 32bit ARM Cortex M0 processor with a high-precision analogue front-end. It is based on a dual 4800baud spread-frequency-shiftkeying channel technology and is optimised for use in harsh environments. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5529 Congatec has released the conga-TS77 COM Express module that supports thirdgeneration Intel Core processors and the mobile Intel QM77 chipset. The type 6 COM Express module supports Intel virtualisation technology and optional Intel active management technology 8.0. The module includes Intel Core i7-3555LE with 2.5-GHz, 4-Mbyte Intel Smart Cache; Intel Core i7-3517UE with 1.7-GHz, 4-Mbyte Intel Smart Cache; and Intel Core i5-3610ME with 2.7-GHz, 3-Mbyte Intel Smart Cache processors. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5650 In next month’s EDN Europe In its September issue, EDN Europe will look at the topics of Systems-on-Chip (SoCs); and the design of Automotive Electronics Systems. In October, the focus topics will be Test & Measurement, and Analogue Circuit design; further ahead, EDN Europe will be covering Microprocessors/microcontrollers, and Industrial System design.
