Ampro Computers claims to have shattered the previously impenetrable 1GHz barrier for rugged PC/104-sise modules while remaining true to form factor standards.
Ampro Computers claims to have shattered the previously impenetrable 1GHz barrier for rugged PC/104-size modules while remaining true to form factor standards.
In order for military, avionics, transportation, and industrial system manufacturers to leverage existing enclosures while upgrading performance, Ampro's new 1GHz CoreModule 800 achieved a number of technological breakthroughs in fitting a complete CPU subsystem with I/O, PCI- 104 bus expansion, and network interfaces without violating the required 90 x 96mm board outline.
Featuring the 1GHz Intel Celeron M 373 processor from -40 to +85C without a CPU cooling fan on a 3mm-thick PCB with optional conformal coating, CoreModule 800 defines "rugged" for applications that insist on the highest reliability available within the most confined spaces and harshest environments where failures are not tolerated.
"The rugged design heritage at Ampro has created a masterpiece in the CoreModule 800", said Joanne Mumola Williams, President and CEO of Ampro.
"Whether operating under an aircraft wing, attached to the side of a locomotive, or mounted behind the display of a military tank, the CoreModule 800 is the next in a long line of rugged PC/104 CPUs that system OEMs and integrators have relied on since Ampro invented the stackable PC/104 CPU in 1991".
The 1GHz CoreModule 800 joins the existing 800MHz Celeron M configuration to give developers a choice of performance, power consumption, and price points that best suit a particular application.
Up to 1 Gbyte of DDR 333 RAM is supported, along with two RS-232/422/485 serial ports, two USB 2.0 ports, Intel 82541 Gigabit Ethernet, integrated graphics with LVDS LCD support, IDE, a shared parallel/floppy port, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface, and AMI BIOS.
Bus expansion is provided by the standard PCI-104 connector (PCI bus).
For use with off-the-shelf PC/104 (ISAbus) modules, Ampro offers MiniModule ISA, which contains a PCI-to-ISA bridge.
