New CPU-1464 PC/104-Plus high-reliability SBC
Eurotech is launching the CPU-1464, a highly reliable single-board computer (SBC) for mobile high-speed networking applications. This RoHS-compliant module is based around the 800MHz Intel Pentium III processor with 256MB DRAM soldered onboard and high-speed Gigabit Ethernet. The CPU-1464 is an upgrade and replacement to the widely proven CPU-1463 CPU module.
Suitable applications for the CPU-1464 include networked mobile real-time applications such as telecommunications controllers, vehicle data servers and routers, network controllers or multimedia and high-end video systems. The CPU-1464 is described by Eurotech as 'the optimal choice of processing unit' when selecting the core components for vehicle-based applications that need to be highly resistant to temperature, shock and vibration extremes.
Dedicated interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100Mbit Ethernet, four USB1.1 ports, two serial ports, one AC97 audio interface, one standard VGA output, one LVDS output and also keyboard and PS/2 mouse ports. IDE mass storage devices, such as a Disk-on-Module, CF card or HDD, can be connected to the onboard high-speed EIDE controller. Also included is a real-time clock, hardware watchdog timer and non-volatile memory for system set-up storage.
The innovative construction of this CPU module makes structural heat dissipation through an enclosure easy to implement, thereby expanding the range of suitable applications. Efficient heat conduction from components and an optimised low-power design result in a wide standard operating temperature range from 0 to +50degC or an extended range of -40 to +85degC.
Full compatibility with the x86 hardware architecture guarantees compatibility with standard operating systems such as WinCE, WinXPE and Linux. A CPU development system is available to accelerate project development, testing and integration.
