Amplicon introduces brand new Impact-D 100 DIN Rail PC

Brighton, UK, 16 September 2015 – The new Amplicon Impact-D 100 has been designed and manufactured in the UK to the highest standards. Designed to be compact, rich in I/O and running the latest quad core ATOM™ processor, the Intel® ATOM ™ E3845.

Amplicon has carefully chosen the components and CPU family to ensure optimal performance vs. heat and power consumption, this ensures the system will operate and control your application 24/7 with many years of maintenance free running.

The Intel® ATOM™ E3845 processor allows for advanced technologies to be incorporated into this tiny unit. Technologies such as Intel® Gen.7 graphics engine, Burst Technology 2.0, dynamic power sharing and quad-core power with 64-Bit OS compatibility are standard.

The Intel® Gen.7 graphics engine is the 7th release from Intel®, which brings advanced graphics bursts, OpenGL ES 3.3 and hardware video codec acceleration including H.264, MPEG2 and MVC, all in resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 with a GPU shader capable of up to 8 gigaflops!

The ATOM™ quad-core technology supports 4 cores/4 threads with 2 MB of L2 Cache. This makes the device run faster and more responsive by allowing multiple applications and services run at the same time.

The Impact-D 100 integrates advanced technologies, while still offering support for legacy serial communication protocols. The unit houses four DB9 connectors for serial communications: COM1, 3, and 4 supports RS232, while COM2 supports RS232, 422 and 485.

With a compact design, rich legacy support and new technology, wide power input of 9~36VDC and support for Wi-Fi and Cellular connections, the Impact-D 100 is a versatile and adaptive unit ideally suited for many applications.

Gavin Chalkley, Industrial Computing Product Specialist at Amplicon: “The Impact-D 100 utilises the cutting edge Intel® technology while retaining the legacy support and rugged design know and expected from Amplicon. This unit offers OEM branding options and customisable operating systems to give you the customer, a full branded experience.”

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.
