EB Tough VoIP is a ruggedized Voice over IP defense communication solution. It can be used as the IP voice and data communication system for defense applications requiring deployment of any system components to outdoor conditions and extreme service reliability. EB Tough VoIP is best suited to applications where wired infrastructure can be utilized locally, and over a wider area. EB Tough VoIP allows for high levels of security through utilization of data encryption and authentication mechanisms...

A Plug Computer is small enough to plug directly into a wall socket and is designed to draw so little power that it can be left on all of the time. Unlike other embedded devices in the home, it contains a gigahertz class processor to offer PC class performance. This makes it a viable alternative to a PC for any software service. The SheevaPlug development platform uses a Marvell Kirkwood processor based on an embedded 1.2GHz Sheeva™ CPU equipped with 512 Mbytes of FLASH and 512 Mbytes of DRAM...

The CAT4106 is a new 6-watt (W) LED driver with an integrated, high-power DC-DC boost converter and on-chip diagnostics to maximize efficiency in larger, general purpose LCD panel backlighting applications. the CAT4106 is capable of driving as many as 40 white LEDs – or four strings of 10 LEDs with up to 36 volts (V) per string - for a total of 6 W of LED output power. The CAT4106 features low dropout LED channels of 500 millivolts (mV) at 175 milliamps (mA) and a high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) interface, which supports multiple frequencies up to 2 kilohertz (kHz), providing precise, high-resolution dimming control while the device remains fully biased..

The heart of the comprehensive hardware and software packet is the XC2000ED emulation device, which in addition to the series chip functions also has an on-chip emulator with trace memory for recording of the program flow/data flow as well as the profiling. The complex internal emulator logic enables a detailed observation of all relevant system processes on the chip. The XC2000ED emulation device is either soldered on an evaluation board or is replaceable with help of a soldered socket. In addition to the debugger software, Universal Debug Engine (UDE) and the Universal Access Device (UAD) for fast target access via JTAG or Device Access Port (DAP), further components of the kit include pls’Universal Emulation Configurator (UEC) that enables a simple use of the on-chip emulator via a graphical user interface...
