Compact and fast dual gigabit Ethernet
Advantech, industrial computer manufacturer and automation innovator, releases its PICMG-3.1-compliant PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC), the MIC-3665.
Wall mountable node solution has high capacity
Advantech has launched the IPC-7220 industrial computer chassis, the next-generation wall-mountable industrial node solution with high capacity for ATX motherboards.
PCI-104 enables faster data transfer compared with traditional ISA-based PC/104 modules, all in a small rugged form factor.
The PCM-3380 is designed with multiple I/O options that make it ideal for medical, military, transportation and emergency services applications.
The introduction of the smallest PCI-104 Pentium M platform on the market makes it easier to develop advanced applications that require flexible I/O capability and power management.
PCM-3380 provides as many features as boards twice the size with support for six high speed USB 2.0 and dual CRT/LVDS displays, making it practical to replace older, larger form factor boards.
Low power fanless Pentium M processors are available from 1.1 to 1.6GHz and the Celeron M processor from 600MHz.
Both processors perfectly complement the Intel 855GME (Centrino) chipset with integrated graphics and power saving features.
Additional I/O includes two COM ports and LAN.
PCI-104's smart stacking design allows great versatility for expansion through integration into other form factors or by addition of extra modules such as Advantech's PCM-3620 with IEEE1394 and USB, PCM-3621 SATA, PCM-3116 miniPCI, and PCM-3115 2-slot PCMCIA modules.
Applications include military command and control systems, medical MRI scanning and diagnostics, police in-vehicle video recording, and modern transportation systems which require high resistance to vibration.
PC/104 modules provide simple feature expansion that makes them ideal for embedded applications.
A variety of PC/104 CPU and peripheral modules are available to meet the customer's particular requirements.
These include PCMCIA, Ethernet, GPS, digital I/O, audio and video, and multiple COM port modules.
The PCM-3380 is powerful, flexible and versatile; it represents the smallest PCI-104 Pentium M solution on the embedded market today, and is available now. Request a free brochure from Advantech (UK) ...
