Low profile IT and medical 90 Watt external power supplies comply with Level VI

February 9, 2016

XP Power today announced the AJM90 series of 90 Watt single output external AC-DC power supplies. Meeting the US Department of Energy’s new Level VI no load / standby power and active mode efficiency specification, the AJM90 consumes less than 0.21 Watt when no load is connected. The series has a high average efficiency of typically 89%, measured at 25, 50, 75 and 100% load, and exceeds the power supply energy efficiency requirements stipulated by the Level VI specification.

With certification for both the internationally recognised IT and medical safety standards, EN/UL 60950-1 and ANSI/AAMI/EN 60601-1, and offering 2 … Read More → "Low profile IT and medical 90 Watt external power supplies comply with Level VI"

Easily add virtual Ethernet ports to single port MCUs with embOS/IP

February 8, 2016

SEGGER’s TCP/IP stack now offers support for the Tail Tagging feature of Micrel/Microchip Ethernet switches. embOS/IP is the first embedded IP stack to support Tail Tagging.

This enhancement establishes multiple virtual Ethernet ports when only one physical Ethernet port is available on the CPU – by choosing another PHY.

Offering more than one Ethernet port is normally complex, difficult to handle, and most CPUs only have a single port Ethernet controller. It thus requires additional components such as external Ethernet controllers to extend the number of available ports.
