Kontron has announced support for Freescale Semiconductor's QorIQ family of communication processors, which deliver energy efficiency and a broad range of performance and integration capabilities on AdvancedMC processor modules. With these two power architecture-based communication processor platforms designed for networking and control applications, the company extends its portfolio of single-width midsize AdvancedMCs both for low-power and high-performance packet processing applications.
The AM4120 is scheduled for release in Q2 2011. The platforms deliver advanced packet processing capabilities combined with flexible processing and I/O functionalities in a commercial configuration. It requires reduced development efforts, optimised time-to-market and scalability for network-centric applications based on modular AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA platforms.
