Parvus Corp has unveiled what it reckons is the first Fast Ethernet switching hub for embedded PC/104 applications.
Especially suited for control-intensive applications where timing and control of moving parts are critical, such as in vehicular, robotics, and control automation environments, Parvus' PowerPC CPU offers embedded developers a wealth of memory and I/O functionality.
This PC/104 form factor board (3.550 x 3.750in) is extended temperature rated (-40 to +85C) and comes with 488Kbit of on-chip Flash, up to 32Mbyte of external Flash, up to 4Mbyte of SRAM and 1Mbyte of EEPROM.
The module also features 32 configurable digital I/O channels, two CAN 2.0B modules, two RS232 serial ports, an alphanumeric LCD port, and a complete timing system.
The board's PowerPC architecture provides an ideal foundation for RISC computing applications, allowing quick execution of instructions, faster time to market and lower production costs.
