SBC design wins award

A team from Abaco Systems’ Towcester facility has won the overall prize in Mentor Graphics’ Technology Leadership Awards. The awards scheme recognises innovative solutions to system design challenges.

The Abaco team designed a 3U VPX single board computer on a short timescale, whilst dealing with significant challenges, including the provision of 27 voltage rails to an Intel Xeon D processor and thermal management.

“This award reaffirms that Abaco Systems has the capability to produce world class solutions for a very demanding market,” said Bernie Anger, CEO of Abaco Systems. “This is the sixth time we have entered the competition, and the fifth time we have won. We’re delighted to receive this recognition from Mentor Graphics.”
