PC/104 Thermal Management Card from Parvus Now Integrates Real-Time Clock and Scratch Memory for Time-of-Use Applications

By Anonymous

SALT LAKE CITY, UT April 7, 2004 -- Parvus(r) Corporation today announced that its PC/104 Environmental Fan Card II now comes standard with an onboard elapsed time counter and scratch memory. These new features enable embedded systems manufacturers to determine time-of-use for systems deployed in the field and to identify specific units by serial number. This is particularly useful for time-of-use warranty, calibration, repair, and maintenance requirements.

With 2KB of onboard EEPROM memory, the Environmental Fan Card now offers permanent storage of configuration or maintenance information, while integrating a unique serial number for system identification. The board's elapsed time recorder records the total time with power on and the number of times the unit has been turned on and off (power cycles).

Providing forced-air cooling through two thermostat-controlled fans, the Environmental Fan Card provides intelligent thermal management for embedded PC/104 computer systems. Its dual fans turn on and off, depending on temperature conditions to conserve power and increase product life. The unit also integrates capacitive humidity and atmospheric pressure sensors, which can be used as alarm indicators of moisture and pressure changes within an enclosed PC/104 system.

This product is available in two versions - one with all three sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity) and another with a temperature sensor only. Standard features include Form C relay outputs, digital and analog inputs, power indicator, configuration jumpers, Windows(r) drivers and a software test utility.

Pricing
Pricing ranges from $187 to $224/each in volume orders of 100+ units, depending on configuration.

ATP Introduces World’s First 256MB Reduced Sized MMC (RS-MMC). Largest Capacity in Smallest Form Factor. Further Establish ATP as the Technology and Market Leader in Providing High Density Small Form Factor Flash Card.

By Anonymous

Sunnyvale, CA March 18, 2004 -RS-MMC was introduced by the MultiMediaCard Association (MMCA) in November 2002. It is approximately one-half the size of the standard MultiMediaCard (MMC). RS-MMC offers all of the benefits of MMC but is 50% smaller. As an extension to the existing MMC standard, RS-MMC allows cell phone and consumer electronics developers to design ultra small devices.

ATP’s strength is to design high capacity, performance and quality flash cards in ultra small form factor. The ATP RS-MMC has exceptional functions and performance in a tiny form factor that is just 24x18x1.4mm and weighing about a gram. “We are proud to bring world’s first 256MB RS-MMC into our well established flash media product line. We already released 512MB and 1GB MMC last year and the introduction of 256MB RS-MMC further validates ATP’s technology and product leadership to bring highest capacity cards in smallest form factor possible. The accelerating growth of next generation mobile devices which requires large storage yet tiny in size will provide a huge market demand for small form factor cards. ATP RS-MMC is the perfect solution to fulfill this needs.” said Danny Lin, ATP VP of Sales and Marketing.

ATP 256MB RS-MMC provides mobile OEMs the freedom to integrate more rich multimedia functions into the devices, thereby enables the next cellular revolution. With the open standards advantage of RS-MMC, device manufacturers are easily to adopt it. Major cell phone markers such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Siemens which supports MMC are believed to adopt RS-MMC into their future devices. This new market represents a significant opportunity for ATP RS-MMC.

RS-MMC is compatible with the existing MMC standard. The ATP 256MB RS-MMC will be available to both OEM and retail channels and is expected to begin volume shipments in Q2. ATP RS-MMC is also available in 32, 64, 128MB capacities. The complete ATP flash media product lines includes MMC, RS-MMC, SD, miniSD and Flash Reader.
