Shrinking product development cycles coupled with demanding product requirements and increasingly complex design implementations can overwhelm a design team. The technical risk of employing new, complex, high-speed processor technology can often deter a design group from incorporating new technology in their product designs.Intel Corporationâ??s ATOM processor and low power chipset solution is a technology choice which cannot be overlooked. With the potential for wide application in deeply embedded, low power, fanless industrial, medical, communications, automotive and consumer applications this technology demands attention. Orchid Technologies, a developer of custom electronics product solutions, can help. With their new ATOM processor technology core design, that combines your custom electronic hardware with an ATOM processor core. The result is a highly integrated circuit board solution customized for your applications needs. â??The development time and risk are low, because Orchid has done much of these designs before,â? says Paul Nickelsberg, President and Senior Engineer of Orchid. â??Your custom design builds on our firm foundation of design success.â? â??Orchid has designed many highly customized Intel-processor-based (IA32) circuit boards.â? A typical Orchid Technologiesâ?? client in the fanless industrial space may require customized GPIO; perhaps special data logging features: possibly specialized precision analog electronics; or maybe the integration ... [more..]
