Electrical/Electronics: BOARDS & COMPONENTS Top Product
Harsh environment computer. The GPCP (General Purpose Control Processor) 750 is a full Mil-Spec COTS single-board computer based on a 200 MHz PowerPC 750 processor. It features 32 Mbytes of DRAM with error detection and correction (EDC), 16 Mbytes of 64-bit FLASH memory, 512 Kbytes of Boot Prom and 512 Kbytes of cache. With two on-board PMC interfaces, the conduction-cooled GPCP 750 may be customized by adding standard IEEE1386.1 PMC modules or custom-designed PMC modules. On-board resources include two RS-232 and two RS-422 serial ports, seven variable gain differential DC inputs, six analog AC inputs, four servo-valve outputs and five discrete I/O ports. There is also a high-speed interrupt controller and three 16-bit timers/counters. VISTA Controls Corp, Santa Clarita, CA. http://www.vistacontrols.com Free Info - Circle 430

Digital I/O. The clock rate on the GT5150 is programmable from 5 Hz to 100 MHz,
and can capture or stimulate long patterns at rates up to 100 MHz. The PC-based digital
I/O board also features: 32 input or output pins; space for up to 128 Mbit of memory
behind each pin; I/O modules supporting TTL, ECL, PECL and programmable levels; real-time
comparison; and a sequencer enabling conditional Jump and Pause commands. Geotest, Santa
Ana, CA.

Trimmer capacitors. The dynamic range of the A1 series of
miniature trimmer capacitors has been extended to 12 pF. With 13 turns of adjustment and
positive stops, the A1_12 is suitable for tuning applications in amplifiers, filters and
oscillators. Offered in PCB and SMT mountings, the trimmer capacitors are additionally
offered in high voltage and non-magnetic versions. Qs are >1000 at 200 MHz, and
self-resonance is 1.2 GHz at 12 pF. Voltronics Corp, Denville, NJ. 
Filter inductors. The miniature Model DR333-7 Series of filter
inductors have an economical open-frame design suitable for surface mounting. Their high
energy storing capacity provides very effective filtering of ripple in input or output
channels of power supplies. Inductance ranges available are from 0.47 µH (±20%) at 8 MHz
, DCR of 0.025(omega), and a current of 3.60A, to a range of 1000 µH (±10%) at 1 KHz,
with a DCR of 20(omega) and a current of 0.075A. Datatronics Romoland Inc, Romoland,
CA. 
Low-power MMX-class single board. The Cyrix-based PCM-5820
offers an optional Windows CE packages bundled with it. The computer packs a Pentium
MMX-class processor with a VGA/LCD interface, audio, 10/100Base T Ethernet, a CompactFlash
card socket, and a connector for up to 64MB of RAM on a 3.5 in. platform. Low power
consumption eliminates cooling fans, and the two-chip processor uses less area than an
Intel architecture. Advantech Technologies Inc, Irvine, CA. 
PICDEM-2 demonstration board. This company has introduced
Internet-ready capability for its PICDEM-2 demonstration board supporting their PIC16CXXX
family of 8-bit RISC microcontrollers. PICDEM-2 incorporates emWare's EMIT evaluation
software, allowing PICmicro designers to create products that can be accessed, monitored
and controlled remotely over the Internet using a Web browser, PDA, telephone,
spreadsheet, custom application or database. Microchip Technology Inc,
Chandler, AZ. 
Telecommunications voice processing board. The CompactPCI DSP
board is designed specifically for telecommunications voice processing. More than 26,000
MIPS of available DSP performance, 81.3 SPECint95 of available RISC performance and the
company's CHAMP architecture combine to make this board ideal for processing high
voice/data throughput channels ranging from DTMF and Vocoder to voice recognition and
generation. Ixthos, Leesburg, VA.
