World’s First! A Computer With Auto Heat-Up? DFI 3.5” Desktop CS551 Can Run Even At Subzero Temperatures

As edge computing has been rapidly expanding to every corner, users pursue computers to drive more functions with better performance to enhance artificial intelligence analysis capabilities, which brings three new criteria in hardware selection for edge applications: processing power, size, and adaptability to extreme weather. DFI, one of the world-leading industrial PC providers, newly released the 3.5″ desktop single-board computer (SBC), CS551, is a perfect match for this situation with a breakthrough in aspects of size, footprint, operating temperature, cooling, and expansion.

High Performance With Small Footprint

Compared to most of desktop motherboards in the market that can only be merely downsized to Mini-ITX form factor (195mm (7.7″) x 170mm (6.7″)), DFI has further shrunk CS551 footprint by nearly half to 3.5″ (146mm (5.75″) x 102mm (4.02″), with support for the Intel Core™ 8/9 Gen processors and even the Intel C246 chipset that provides ECC support for memory at Intel Xeon server-grade level, maximizing the performance of the entire computer.

3.5” Desktop Platform With -30~80°C Wide Temp. Support

SBCs are prevailing in outdoor applications of Internet of Things due to small footprint, and to overcome the outdoor extreme temperature fluctuations, CS551 breaks the limitation of operating temperature merely support at 0~60°C by 8th /9th Gen Intel Core Processors, and further extends it up to 80°C, down to -30°C. Even the temperature drops below zero, the auto-on heater can warm up and keep the processor within the operating temperature range. Equipment can thus operate normally without being shut down in snow!

Dynamical Adjustment Between CPU & GPU

In addition to the powerful processor with wide temperature support, the CS551 also features the dynamical adjustment between CPU and GPU by allocating the computing resources according to the workload. Even in high temperature environment like 80°C, the computing work can be adjusted by the CPU and GPU intelligently, and prevent computer crash down as well as greatly improve the stability of the application.

Key Features:

  • 3.5″ Desktop Platform SBC -30~80°C
  • Unique Wide Tempe Support For Desktop Platforms
  • Dynamical Adjustment Of CPU/GPU Computing Resources
  • Enhanced Expansion Capabilities with M.2 2280 (e.g., Storage, I/O Cards)
  • Fanless & Fan Dual Cooling Systems Support

Key Applications:

  • Mission-critical applications in extreme temperature environments
  • AI visual analytics
  • Traffic flow analysis

2x Expansion Enhancement

Unlike other 3.5” SBCs on the market that only support M.2 2242 expansion, the CS551 increases the expansion capacity up to M.2 2280 size, making it perfectly compatible with M.2 2280 form-factor-only modules, as well as providing more than two times of the storage capacity and I/O expansion.

Fan/Fanless Dual Cooling Support

While the overall performance and expansion are increased by more than two times, the CS551 simultaneously supports fan cooling, which is commonly found on desktop platforms, as well as fanless cooling that is available only among SBCs. With the support for fanless cooling system, the lifespan of outdoor devices is largely increased and makes CS551 the only choice for developing smart outdoor applications in many extreme climates.

In the trend of the expanding scale of edge device deployment, having a computer with performance, size, and environmental resilience makes it barrierless in developing smart Internet of Things, and gives the equipment a 1+1>2, multiplier-effect benefits in performance!

+/-10V (Dual 10V) to Single-Supply Signal Converter for ADC

This board will make your work easy if you want to interface +/- 10V (Dual 10V) device or sensor to single-supply signal ADC. This tiny project has been made for industrial and process control applications and provides an easy interface between +/-10V (Dual 10V) sensor or device to single-supply ADC. Connect +/-10V sensor/device to pin 3 of connector CN1, and circuit outputs 0.5V to 4.5V at pin 3 of connector CN2. The operating supply of the circuit is 5V and it draws few milliamps of current. The project is also provided with optional precision Ref voltage for accurate output.

Testing this project is easy, close jumper J1 to VCC, J2 to GND, close the solder jumper J3, keep jumper J4 open, apply 5V DC to pin 1 and 2 of CN2, connect +/-10V source to pin 3 (+I) and GND. Measure the output at pin 3 (OP) of CN2.

Optional Reference Voltage: for precision output, use reference voltage chip U1 REF3425 or REF3225 from Texas, close Jumper J3, J4, and J1 to GND.

The INA159 is a high slew rate, G = 1/5 difference amplifier consisting of a precision op amp with a precision resistor network. The gain of 1/5 makes the INA159 useful to couple ±10V signals to single-supply analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), particularly those operating on a single +5V supply. The on-chip resistors are laser-trimmed for accurate gain and high common-mode rejection. Excellent temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) tracking of the resistors maintains gain accuracy and common-mode rejection over temperature. The input common-mode voltage range extends beyond the positive and negative supply rails. It operates on +1.8V to +5.5V single or split supplies. The INA159 reference input uses two resistors for easy mid-supply or reference biasing. The difference amplifier is the foundation of many commonly-used circuits. The INA159 provides this circuit function without using an expensive external precision resistor network.

Features

  • Operating Supply 5V DC
  • Input +/-10V (Dual 10V) Sensor or Industrial Device
  • Output 0.5V to 4.5V DC (ADC)
  • PCB dimensions: 26.51 x 16.51 mm

Würth Elektronik introduces its WSEN-HIDS humidity sensor

Würth Elektronik has developed a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensor only 2 × 2 × 0.9 mm in size. Thanks to its low energy requirement and its calibrated and temperature-compensated digital output, the sensor measures humidity and temperature with long-term stability. The WSEN-HIDS humidity sensor is based on advanced MEMS technology: A dielectric polymer absorbs or releases water molecules in proportion to the relative humidity in the surroundings, thereby changing the permeability of a capacitor structure. The humidity sensor with integrated analog-digital converter and temperature sensor can be connected to commonly used microcontrollers via an I2C or SPI interface. With the help of the software development kit, which is also available, there is no faster/easier way to individually set data rates and use the interrupt pin.

Alongside classical applications, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, building automation, and cooling systems, thanks to its small size and minimized energy requirement, the WSEN-HIDS humidity sensor is also suitable for dataloggers, as well as stationary and portable IoT applications. For modern applications, Würth Elektronik provides developers with an evaluation board. The MEMS sensor delivers calibrated measurement results with superb accuracy of ±3.5% RH in the 20% to 80% RH humidity range. The sensor outputs at a data rate in the millisecond range. Condensate forming on the surface of the polymer structure can be removed again by activating a built-in heater – so the sensor can generate measured data again within a very short time. The operating temperature range of the robust sensor is –40 to +120 °C.

Characteristics

  • MEMS based capacitive sensing principle
  • Relative humidity range 0% to 100%
  • Embedded analog to digital converter
  • Fully calibrated 16 bit humidity and temperature output
  • I²C and SPI communication interface
  • Selectable output data rate up to 12.5 Hz
  • Operating temperature range: -40 °C to 120 °C
  • Sensor Software Development Kit
  • Sensor SDK User Manual

Easy to integrate

“With WSEN-HIDS, we are pleased to be able to offer one of the most innovative humidity and temperature sensors. The sensor promotes rapid terminal device development because developers can use a digital output directly via I2C or SPI and do not have to worry about calibration or temperature compensation,” explains Vinod Kumar Ramu, Product Manager at Würth Elektronik eiSos. “Very practical: The sensor’s interrupt pin can also be used to wake up the microcontroller if the humidity changes. This is ideal for economical and low-maintenance monitoring functions.”

The current consumption of the humidity sensor is 8.9 µA in continuous operation with measurement data available every second. Using a CR2032 button cell with 230 mAh capacity, this corresponds to a battery life of about three years. If the sampling rate is reduced, applications stay maintenance-free even longer.

The sensor is now available from stock without a minimum order quantity as a belt section or tape & reel package.

TinyCharger – Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger with Monitoring

TinyCharger is an ATtiny25/45/85-based, single-cell Li-ion battery charger with selectable charging current limit (100mA – 1000mA) and an OLED display for monitoring.

For battery charging the TP4056 is used. The TP4056 is a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries. The maximum charge voltage is fixed at 4.2V and the charge current can be programmed externally with a resistor. The total resistance is determined by three resistors connected in parallel, two of which can be switched on and off by the ATtiny via MOSFETs. The TP4056 automatically terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops to 1/10th the programmed value after the final float voltage is reached. Other features include current monitor, under voltage lockout and automatic recharge.

An INA219 is used to measure voltage and current. The INA219 is a current shunt and power monitor with an I²C-compatible interface. The device monitors both shunt voltage drop and bus supply voltage, with programmable conversion times and filtering. A programmable calibration value, combined with an internal multiplier, enables direct readouts of current in amperes. The selected shunt resistance of 8 milliohms enables both a very small influence on the circuit and a measurement with a resolution of 1 milliampere. For an accurate measurement, a shunt resistor with a low tolerance (1% or better) should be selected.
