Embedded controller allows direct access to ATM
The Interphase 4531, available in the UK from Crellon Microsystems, allows system integrators to access the ATM backbone without requiring an external CSU/DSU.
Embedded motherboard configured for connectivity
The PATX3070 Pentium-class motherboard, now available from Crellon Microsystems, combines AGP graphics capability with a range of powerful interfaces.
These features make the GX2 ideal for fan-less and deeply embedded applications.
The ETX-GX2 cores on offer are either an AMD Geode GX533, with a CPU power consumption of a lowly 1.1W or the AMD Geode GX466 which use even less power at 0.9W.
Both DDR based SODIMMs and soldered memory are supported on the ETX-GX2 which promotes long time availability and stable pricing for SODIMM parts in long production life projects when compared to SDRAM based SODIMMs.
128MB or 256MB memory can be soldered and/or inserted on board in the 200 pin socket which will accept up to 512MB DDR SODIMMs.
Incorporated on board are a VGA controller, an EIDE controller supporting PIO and UDMA modes, 4 USB ports, two serial and one parallel ports (SPP/ECP/EPP) shared with FDD, one PS2 keyboard/mouse interface, AC97 audio and interface and power management functions.
Also on board are an Intel based 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, watchdog timer, an AC97 Audio Codec and support for CRT and LVDS based displays.
The ETX-GX2 fully supports PCI and ISA busses and embedded features such as RS232 console redirection and CMOS EEPROM backup for BIOS settings and battery-less operation The ETX-GX2 Computer on module form factor (95mm x 144mm) coupled with the ETX prototype / evaluation board promote short time to market solutions for designers.
