Customers using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products for the defense and aerospace industry are facing ever increasing pressures to design and integrate embedded computing systems more quickly, more inexpensively and with lower risk. The reuse of existing system platforms is one way to address this challenge; however, when today’s defense and aerospace high performance, embedded applications require faster processing, higher bandwidth I/O interconnects, and distributed switching architectures, legacy systems may not adequately address the increased power and thermal challenges inherent with the use of GHz-rate CPUs and High Speed Serial Interconnects.

Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing is a single end-to-end supplier of commercial and rugged grade COTS computing solutions that span the full range of embedded system technology, from board-level products to fully integrated sub-systems. To address the needs of system integrators, Curtiss-Wright developed the Continuum Power Management solution to support the integration of Curtiss-Wright’s embedded computing products and to provide users the benefit of flexibility and control over module power.

The benefits of the Continuum Power Management solution will be evident for system integrators that are developing new system solutions and for system integrators wishing to upgrade existing system platforms with higher performance embedded modules. The Continuum Power Management solution provides greater flexibility when configuring on-board processing, peripherals, and connectivity functions achieving a higher level of power control granularity and power/performance calibration at the module level.
