EPIC Embedded Computer Board with Geode LX800 or Intel Pentium M Processor

3 years 11 months ago

The compact computer board uses a fan-less Geode LX800 processor with 500MHz or an Intel Celeron M processor or rather a Pentium M processor with 800MHz. The main memory can be equipped with DDR SDRAMs from 128MB up to 1GB. A panel of converters provides all standard PC interfaces such as four USB V2.0 ports, two serial V24/RS232 interfaces, dual LAN with 100/10Base-T-Ethernet and 1Gbit Ethernet, and VGA. Inside of the board, there are connections for one floppy disk and for up to two P-ATA hard disks.

An optional interface module is provided by the opto-isolated COM3 as RS232/RS422 and COM4 as RS232/RS485 and LPT1. For assembly with solid-state memory cards instead of the hard disk serves a slot IDE CompactFlash type I/II.

For display, this EPIC board uses the UMA graphic controller of the Geode LX with up to 16MB (MSEP800) for VGA and 18/24-bit LCD, or the “extreme graphic” video controller that is integrated within the i855GME chip set and offers a video memory of up to 64MB (MSEP855). This controller has two separate video outputs (VGA and 18-bit LVDS), which may be connected simultaneously to display the same image twice or two images separately. With the optional multimedia module MSEPCONM, an AC97-compatible stereo or 5.1 sound (SPDif only at the MSEP855) and DVI-D are available.

The option of using a PC/104-Plus socket and a MiniPCI socket to integrate individual features, make the MSEP800/855 an ideal computer platform for industrial and commercial applications.

For evaluation purposes DIGITAL-LOGIC offers a complete system, the MICROSPACE PCV800/855. This system contains hard disk, power supply and is available at a very attractive sample price.

The MSEP800/855 is compatible with every standard Pentium PC and runs all common operating systems, such as Windows XP, QNX, Linux, etc. The embedded computer board has dimensions of 165mm x 115mm x 25mm (W x L x H) and a weight of 0.2kg or 0.4kg respectively. The integrated long-range power supply provides a voltage feed of 10V to 30V.

Designed for low power consumption (typically 10 watts or 18 watts), this board operates within the standard temperature range of 0°C to +50°C. The MSEP800/855 is available in a cost-effective basic model and with extension modules especially for multimedia and industrial applications. It is ideally suited for military, telecommunications, medical, security technology and image processing applications. The computer board is designed for a long-term availability from 5 to 10 years.
