| | Engineering Feature · By Roger Allan, Technical Editor All A-Board! | | To satisfy the needs of aerospace and defense applications, compact, multicore, low-power computer boards are achieving greater levels of computational capabilities per watt. | | Tools and core selection make it easier to build systems-on-a-chip with FPGAs. | | With the variety of instruments available today, designers can put their projects through the paces with just about any kind of imaginable signal. | | By taking advantage of the latest 16-bit MCUs that offer flexible I/O pin mapping, designers can conceive efficient embedded designs by taking the modular plug-in approach. | | | |
