ACAL is pleased to offer customers the opportunity to get started in minutes with the latest Intel Core i7 or i5 COM Express Starter Kits from ADLINK. The Starter Kit consists of an Express-CB COM ExpressTM core module and an ATX form factor reference carrier board that offers one PCI Express® x16 graphics slot, five PCI Express x1 slots, two PCI slots, serial ATA, CRT, LVDS, TV-out, USB 2,0, Gigabit LAN, and Super I/O.

Win a dev kit - 8-bit Microcontroller With 128 KB Flash Memory in 28-pin Package

Microchip Technology has announced the PIC18F47J13-the industry's first 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) to feature 128 KB Flash program memory in a 28-pin package. Also available in a 44-pin package, the PIC18F47J13 MCU features XLP technology for eXtreme Low Power consumption and mTouchTM capability for implementing capacitive touch sensing user interfaces. Additionally, an on-chip 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) delivers the accuracy required for many advanced sensor, instrumentation and measurement applications.

 
Limited samples available - Lantronix XPort Pro - The world's smallest, self-contained Linux networking server.
Building on proven Lantronix XPort® technology, XPort Pro is a production-ready server which operates on the Linux or Evolution OS operating systems. In addition to being the world's smallest Linux networking server, XPort Pro also features a significant increase in on-board memory of 8MB SDRAM/16MB Flash, compared to the 256kB of current-generation XPort devices, and ultra-low current of 150mA at 10Mbps to minimise power consumption.
 
Introducing the TaiTien TW series of TCXOs
 
ACAL in partnership with TaiTien, are pleased to introduce the new TW TCXO product range, capable of providing ultra tight frequency stability of +/- 0.1ppm over -20 to 70C and +/- 0.28ppm over -40 to 85C in 5x3.2mm SMD ceramic packages. With supply voltages at 5.0V and 3.3V, the TW series offer output frequency range from 10 MHz to 52 MHz in either CMOS or clipped sine waveform. The small form factor of 5.0x3.2mm allows more flexibility for hardware engineers in utilizing board space and product designs. In addition, the new TW series can achieve Stratum 3 frequency stability requirement along with excellent phase noise performance. These features make the TW TCXO a cost-effective solution as system clocks in wide range of applications. 
 
Limited samples available - Military SRAMs from GSI  

GSI Technology is again leading the industry in customer-focused manufacturing by offering you even more SRAMs specifically designed for your temperature specification needs! They are now producing SRAMs in extended temperature ranges for the military industry and would like to know what you need for your design. GSI  are offering these extended temperatures in our Asynchronous families (1Mb-8Mb; up to 10 ns), our Synchronous Burst/NBT families (2Mb-144Mb; up to 300 MHz), and our SigmaQuad-IITM/ SigmaDDR-IITM families (18Mb-144Mb; up to 500 MHz).

Advanced Crystal Technology - Dielectric Antennas - New Product Launch
Advanced Crystal Technology are proud to release a new range of dielectric antennas suitable for GPS, WLAN and Bluetooth applications. The antenna range is initially launching with frequency variations of 1575.42MHz and 2338 MHz.
 
Lantronix Matchport NR

The MatchPort® NR is part of a family of pin and form-factor compatible wireless and wired module solutions. The MatchPort family enables you to "future proof" your designs with a choice of flexible media independent 802.11 b/g or Ethernet networking products. It takes the complexity out of RF design and embedded Ethernet networking, enabling you to focus on your products.

ACAL Technology co-sponsors students to design and race electric-drive and hybrid cars
ACAL Technology is co-sponsoring a group of students to design, build and race a prototype electric and hybrid car based on the Citroėn 'Deux Chevaux' (2CV) chassis. A team of 31 post-graduate students, from Group T, Leuven Engineering College, and Antwerp Karel de Grote University College, will race the two converted 2CVs in the 'Experimental' class of the 24-hour, 24H24 race on the Francorchamps circuit, Belgium, in October 2010.
