The AR-1551 is tightly designed 3.5in EBX CPU board with an onboard low-power fanless 300MHz Geode processor.
PC/104 CPU won't break the bank
The AR-B1423C is a complete computer system on a single PC/104-sized board at a one-off cost of just $104.
It suits applications for industrial control systems, vending machines, test equipment and data processing systems.
A smaller and smaller space requirement is one important trend emerging in embedded applications.
Therefore the PC/104 CPU module is a very good option.
The AR-B5020 also follows the board standard dimension of PC/104 and will not interfere with the system's existing design.
This is a very important feature since stacking boards is the core value of 104 boards.
To create a balance between limited space and versatile functions, we separate it into two boards, AR-B5020 and AR-B5020D.
AR-B5020 contains the key components of the system.
The I/O on this board include CPU, Northbridge, Southbridge, Memory socket, IDE, VGA, LVDS, two USB 2.0 pin heads and two COM ports.
It can operate alone with these general functions.
The AR-B5020D provides expansions including PC/104 Plus, CF socket, two more USB 2.0 pin headers and two COM ports.
The company uses a Hirose high-density ETX connector for the connection between AR-B5020 and AR-B5020D.
Four copper stand-offs are used to provide a solid connection between these two boards.
For the ISA PC/104,the company uses an IT8888 PCI to ISA bridge designed by ITE.
It provides compatibility for PCI to ISA functionality with the Intel ICH4.
The system also features an ultra low voltage onboard CPU Celeron M 600MHz / 512KB L2 Cache.
The thermal design power of this CPU is only 7W.
It can be integrated into a fanless system easily.
