DSM Computer at the embedded world: Flat embedded system of the third generation

Munich, February 2013 – DSM Computer presented at the embedded world in Hall 1, Booth 254 for the first time the NanoServer® NN-QM67 embedded system that offers maximum power in the tightest space. The 58 mm flat industrial computer is based on Intel® Core™ processors of the third generation and on the energy-saving Intel® QM67 mobile chipset. With the compact, slot-less NN-QM67, DSM augments its NanoServer® family whose models differ in the number of slots and in the performance class.

A sophisticated ventilation concept ensures a low internal temperature of the extremely compact housing and so increases significantly the service life of the system despite its high performance. DSM Computer has specified the maximum full-load temperature of the high-performance NanoServer® NN-QM67 not just 45 °C, but 50 °C.

As standard, the NanoServer® NN-QM67 is equipped with the Intel®  Core™ processor of the third generation i5-3610ME with two cores (2.7 GHz, 3 MB). For high-end applications, a model with quad-core Intel® Core™ i7-3610QE (2.3 GHz) can be delivered as an option. At full load, this processor exhibits a TDP (Thermal Dissipation Power) of 45 W. The Intel® Core™ processors of the third generation integrate the Intel® HD4000 graphic controller that provides a high video and graphic performance. The Intel® Graphics Turbo Boost technology 2.0 permits the clock frequency of the graphic controller to be increased briefly. The fast DDR3 RAM main memory can be expanded to a maximum capacity of 8 GB.

As an option, DSM Computer provides the NanoServer® NN-QM67 also with Intel® Core™ processors of the second generation, the i7-2710QE with four cores (2.1 GHz) and the i5-2510E (2.5 GHz) or i3-2330E (2.2 GHz) dual core CPUs. For low-cost applications, the Intel® Celeron® processor B810 with two cores is integrated.

Despite its compact construction, the NN-QM67 embedded system provides several state-of-the-art interfaces. Two external USB 3.0 and eight USB 2.0 (four external) ports ensure the fast data transfer. In addition to four serial connections (3 x RS232, 1 x RS232/422/485) and audio, Serial ATA for two SATA III 600 and four SATA II 300 devices (RAID 0, 1, 0+1,5 configurable for all connections) are available. On request, the two 1000 Base-T LAN interfaces can be augmented with Wireless LAN 802.11. The DVI-I, DVI-D and HDMI interfaces allow the connection of two independent, high-resolution displays.

The robust Box IPC integrates a Mini PCI Express™ x1 slot (internal) and a 250 GB, 2.5 inch hard disk that is directly accessible from the screwed-on base cover. Optionally, the HDD can be replaced with an SSD (Solid State Drive) or a Compact Flash socket installed. Alternatively, two SSDs or two HDDs can also be integrated.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
