ADLINK Technology CoreModule1-86DX2 Supports Embedded Applications With Exceptionally High Integration and Power Efficiency

August 13, 2013 – SAN JOSE, CA – ADLINK Technology, Inc., a leading provider of embedded products and application-ready intelligent platforms, today announced its newest PC/104 form factor single board computer (SBC) offering, theCoreModule1-86DX2, featuring an extensive I/O feature set and full ISA bus support. The CoreModule1-86DX2 is ideal for control applications that require power efficiency, small form factor design, longevity, and industrial grade ruggedness.

The CoreModule1-86DX2 enables a performance boost for legacy PC/104 systems that continue to utilize real ISA bus and supports applications across markets, including transportation, automated manufacturing, and aviation. Based on DMP’s Vortex86-DX2 single chip solution, which integrates a powerful yet efficient CPU with graphics controller, audio controller, and other functionalities, the CoreModule1-86DX2 provides all of the standard peripheral connections of an embedded PC on a printed circuit board with dimensions of 96mm x 90 mm (3.775” x 3.550”).

The CoreModule1-86DX2’s rich I/O includes 2 Ethernet ports, 4 serial ports, 3 USB ports, 8 A/D inputs, 8 GPIOs, and PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse. A SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface is also provided to allow for connection with a disk or optical drive.

Taking full advantages of ADLINK’s market-proven Rugged by Design methodology, the CoreModule1-86DX2 is able to withstand 11.95 Grms vibration and 40G shock (MIL-STD-202G Method 214A/213B) and operate over an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The ADLINK CoreModule1-86DX2 also supports Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) functions, including watchdog timer, temperature monitoring, and fail-safe BIOS support, further insuring the system’s operational reliability.

The CoreModule1-86DX2 runs DOS, Windows XP/7, and Linux operating systems and is powered by a 5V-only supply. System expansion can easily be realized over the PC/104, Mini-PCI-Express and I²C bus connectors.

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.
