Welcome to the June issue of Avnet Embedded Spotlight. This month we’re featuring System-on-Modules, Kontron motherboards and looking at the opportunities for healthcare and medical. Let’s dive into this month’s news…
Plenty of displays need to be able to cope with the varying demands of outdoor use – think EV chargers, construction sites, agricultural vehicles, boats and many more. Displays in these highly variable locations are not only exposed to the elements but feel the full force of heavy duty use every day. As a result, Innolux has launched a new line of high brightness TFT displays that are more than up to the challenge.
We are frequently asked if we can replace old membrane keypads with a new PCAP design. It makes sense, as the membrane design can present many problems – particularly as it ages. Simply put, membrane keys are less durable and their PET foil, which controls responsiveness, can and will break with frequent use. Not only do these layers suffer from wear and tear, but just cleaning the keys can introduce liquids onto the PET foil and cause permanent damage to the internal electronics. If you’re looking to swap your membrane keys for PCAP or have other real-world challenges that require display innovations then get in touch today.
Avnet XRF™ RFSoC System-on-Modules are designed for integration into deployed RF systems demanding small footprint, low power, and real-time processing. XRF modules feature the AMD Xilinx Zynq®️ UltraScale+™ RFSoC with up to 16 RF-ADC and 16 RF-DAC channels and up to 6GHz analog bandwidth. Combine a production-ready XRF module with an XRF Carrier Card and Avalon™ software suite to jumpstart proof-of-concept and application development. Then deploy your system with the same XRF module used for proof-of-concept.
