Fanless SBC upgrades the industrial
standard
Low-profile fanless RoHS-compliant EBX-form-factor board is ideal for embedded controllers requiring PC compatibility with full solid-state operation.
Arcom's SBC-GX533 single board computer consumes just 7W of power yet offers roughly three times the performance of its predecessor the SBC-GX1 The SBC-GX533 is a very-low-profile fanless RoHS-compliant EBX-form-factor board, based on the AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor

Linux development kit provides a low cost and easy way of developing a very wide range of applications and running them on targets that are robust, stable, secure and licence free
It is ideal for embedded controllers requiring PC compatibility with full solid-state operation.
The SBC-GX533 board is used in fanless communication, process and machine controllers and is more highly specified than standard industrial motherboards.
Features include a long production life of over 5 years, an integrated CompactFlash port for solid-state storage and wireless data cards such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular modems.
Also included are security features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware and tamper detection logic for use in kiosks, ATMs, casino venues and military IT systems.
Fanless operation up to +60C is possible.
The SBC-GX533 accommodates up to 512Mbyte of DDR 266MHz RAM, and either 16 or 32Mbyte of soldered-in Flash memory.
It includes dual 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet, four USB ports, four serial ports, an analogue touchscreen interface, AC97 audio codec and all normal PC features.
It can be factory configured to drive either a standard analogue display or a digital TFT flat panel.
A 2D/3D dual-video controller, which includes an MPEG2 video decoder and LVDS TFT output, is available as an option.
The SBC-GX533 has both PC/104 and PC/104+ connectors for industrial expansion modules.
Four rapid application development kits are available for the SBC-GX533 - Windows XP Embedded, embedded Linux, Windows CE 5.0 and the entry-level ROM-DOS option.
To accelerate the system integration process, the individual cables used within these kits are available for separate purchase. Request a free brochure from Eurotech ...
