The new IMCP 2.4 GHz is a pipeline integrity and cathodic protection radio that communicates at 2.4 GHz and complements the company’s previously released 900 MHz versions. The radio is a multi-purpose, spread spectrum, board-level product with specific inputs and outputs for automated monitoring of pipeline integrity. The IMCP 2.4 GHz radio offers monitoring and reporting of operational values of pipelines, storage tanks, structures and other equipment or facilities subject to environmental corrosion...

The FM24L256 is a 256-kilobit and 2.7- to 3.6-volt nonvolatile F-RAM memory device with a high-speed serial I2C memory interface. The FM24L256 is available in industry standard 8-pin SOIC package and is rated over the industrial temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C. The FM24L256 provides high-performance data collection in a tiny, 8-pin package, cutting costs and board space in a range of applications from multi-function printers to industrial motor controllers. The FM24L256 performs write operations at bus speed without write delays and the next bus cycle can start immediately without the need for data polling...

The Quartus II Software Version 9.0 includes full support for Altera’s portfolio of transceiver FPGAs and HardCopy ASICs. With version 9.0, customers are equipped with a unified design environment supporting Altera’s entire portfolio of CPLDs, FPGAs and HardCopy ASICs. The latest version includes support for Altera’s newly announced Stratix® IV GT and Arria® II GX FPGAs..

Stratix® IV GT FPGAs is newest variant in the Stratix IV FPGA family, integrated 2.488 to 11.3-Gbps transceivers that are well suited for access, enterprise, service provider, transmission, and other 40/100G applications and an array of proprietary 10G applications. Arria® II GX FPGAs are the lowest power FPGAs with up to 3.75-Gbps transceivers. Designed for cost-sensitive applications, Arria II GX FPGAs are based on a 40-nm, full-featured FPGA architecture that includes adaptive logic modules (ALMs), digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, embedded RAM, and a hard PCIe IP core. This FPGA family provides the optimal logic, memory, and DSP capabilities to address your needs...
