Embedded Solutions

AMOTECH

Advanced Material On TECHnology is a company that manufactures and provide the core parts for the information and communication, IT, and electronic appliances industries and has the vision to become a global leading company in the integrated part materials field.

Through AMOTECH’s own technical expertise and know-how accumulated for a long time, we have raised competitiveness by securing credibility of our products and have featured our competitive power through our three new Chip Varistor, Antenna, BLDC Motor business departments.

Chip varistor is parts that prevent static electricity of electronic equipment. We have already solidified our position as the world’s top maker of chip varistor. We have extended its applications from digital cameras, cellular phones, and camcorders to PDP, LCD TV, Monitor, Notebooks and cars. AMOTECH has developed Display Solution such as Amo-Diode and Amo-Suppressor. We recently developed power inductor, the parts that prevent noise of DC-DC Converter whose carrying capacities are increasing with advanced functions of electronic equipment. Also, we will continue to promote and reinforce competitiveness through diversified and combined functions of our products.

The antenna business department makes various antenna products, including Bluetooth for pocket machineries DMB, and UWB through various materials and designs. Lately, the department launched the internal FM Antenna that has gained popularity in Central and South America and India. We have also worked hard to explore new projects with rapid increase in the need for internal antennas of notebook computers.

On the other hand, as a result of working to secure competitive power of our products through continuous investment in the development of BLDC motor, the next generation motor, AMOTECH has been recognized for the superiority of our washing machine motor and car sensor motor and has worked with domestic and overseas businesses to promote our products. We have accelerated the development of the next application of BLDC Motor that features high efficiency, long durability, and low noise. Based on this, AMOTECH will proceed as a company that provides the core solution in the fields of cars and electronic appliances, along with the greater importance of future energy issues.

Coresystems

Core Systems produces best-in-class products that lead their respective vertical markets. An example of this is their G2 LCD. It is the shortest and lightest feature rich 1U 19” LCD in the nation. The G2 has the price point to rival overseas manufacturers yet is designed and produced in Southern California. Another example is their Military Raptor Series of rugged rackmount computers. Their Military Raptors have the most rugged construction of any PCI based manufacturer in the nation. The ultra-rugged construction coupled with their innovative design features are quickly becoming recognized in the military computing industry as setting a new standard for performance.

Their entire line of standard light industrial rackmount Raptors has a lead time of only 1-2 weeks depending on configuration. Their standard G2 series of rackmount LCD’s have a lead time of 5 days or less. The lead time for their rackmount systems and LCD’s is roughly half of what other manufacturers will be shipping for similar products. The Mil-Spec rugged Raptor series has a lead time of 4-6 weeks depending on the configuration. This lead time is shorter than offered by roughly 2-3 weeks for similar configurations. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, all quotations for standard products will be answered in 24-48 hours. It is not uncommon for Core to deliver a product before one of their competitors has responded to the RFQ.

Diamond Systems

Diamond Systems is proud to be the original supplier of PC/104 format data acquisition boards. When the PC/104 Consortium was just starting out, we were one of the original 11 members, and the only company to offer a full line of data acquisition modules for this new and exciting embedded systems standard.

Wide Selection of Products

With the introduction of our new CPU module, we are now a full-line supplier of PC/104 hardware, including CPU, Analog I/O, Digital I/O, Serial ports, Vehicle power supplies, and Enclosures. In many instances this means one-stop shopping for all your hardware needs.

Rugged, Efficient Design

The use of extended temperature SMT components and intelligent mechanical design result in greater reliability and higher customer satisfaction. Our new power supply boards require no heatsink, increasing mechanical reliability. We put more circuitry and features on our boards than other vendors, resulting in smaller system size, lower cost, lighter weight, and less assembly time.

Advanced Technology

Our unique autocalibration circuitry (patent pending) ensures maximum accuracy on our analog I/O boards for all input ranges over the entire operating temperature range and life of the product. And it completely eliminates the need for recalibration in the field. Furthermore, we are the only PC/104 manufacturer to offer programmable analog output ranges so you can precisely tailor the hardware to your particular application.

Innovative Packagings

Our novel cable-free CPU I/O connector system significantly reduces system development efforts and space requirements, saving time and money and increasing reliability. Combining our I/O panel with our highly-integrated CPU results in a compact, rugged “brick” that is only 1.25″ thin and fits anywhere.

PC/104 Design

Diamond Systems is strongly committed to the PC/104 standard. All our standard products are based on this popular form factor. PC/104 utilizes the industry-standard ISA and PCI buses and x86 processor architecture, so both hardware and software development can proceed faster. PC/104 boards are available from over 100 suppliers, giving you a huge vendor base to select from. In addition, software developers can utilize their existing skills and take advantage of the huge existing base of PC-compatible development tools and operating systems to get to market faster. Any existing PC-based application can be ported easily to PC/104 with little or no code changes.

Flexible Configuration

We think ahead when designing new products to ensure they cover as wide a range of applications as possible. For example, our Emerald-MM serial port boards offer 3 protocols on the same board with easy jumper or software configuration, so you can mix and match protocols in the same application without having to swap out boards. And our analog I/O boards offer a wide selection of input types and ranges, all under software control, so you can easily tailor the inputs and outputs to your special needs.

Customization

We can easily customize our board for your application. We will gladly make simple changes such as I/O connectors or configurations for small volume orders, or we can quickly create a new board using our large existing design library.
