Extend Legacy PC/104 (ISA) Support to 2020 with Advantech’s 3.5” PCM-9376 SBC

March 5, 2014, Irvine, CA – Ever since Microsoft’s PC 99 specification recommended that ISA slots be removed entirely by the end of the 1990s, the ISA bus was gradually disappearing in the consumer market. However, embedded markets widely used the PC/104 (ISA) interface because of reliable data acquisition and operation in extreme environments. Advantech understands this and so unveils the PCM-9376—3.5” Single Board Computer (146 x 102 mm) form factor powered by the AMD G-Series T16R with … Read More → "Extend Legacy PC/104 (ISA) Support to 2020 with Advantech’s 3.5” PCM-9376 SBC"

Cadence Announces New Allegro TimingVision Environment to Speed Timing Closure of High-Speed PCB Interfaces by up to 67%
