Three new high-performance 6U CompactPCI SBCs deliver the speed and bandwidth for performance-oriented applications while benefiting from the low power consumption of the Intel Pentium M processor.

Three new high-performance 6U CompactPCI single board computers deliver the speed and bandwidth needed for performance-oriented applications while benefiting from the low power consumption of the Intel Pentium M processor Each board in this family supports the PICMG 2.16 dual Ethernet and PICMG 2.1 hot-swap specification

They all have 64bit/66MHz CompactPCI bus interfaces, two PMC slots, and are capable of being used in a system or non-system (peripheral) slot.

An Nvidia GeForce 4 Go graphics accelerator providing VGA/LCD resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 powers the graphics.

"High performance embedded applications in both the commercial and government markets have ever growing demands for raw processing power, as well as stringent power requirements", said Adrian Bernhard, Managing Director, SBS Europe.

"The 1.6GHz Pentium M is the foundation of these SBCs, which are enhanced through their I/O interfaces, communications capabilities and graphics subsystems.

These three boards set new benchmarks for the overall performance an engineer can expect from embedded systems processor boards".

The CT9 offers a high level of functional integration within a single slot, giving users the freedom to use the PMC interfaces to customise the SBC for their applications.

This platform supports IPMI PICMG 2.9 system management in addition to full hot-swap support.

The board is H.110 friendly and will not conflict with those signals on the backplane.

The CT9 is designed for a broad range of applications such as wireless, voice over packet, enterprise devices and server blade applications.

The CP9 has a dual slot wide front panel that allows two PMCs and a hard disk or a Flash drive to be mounted in parallel.

This compact all-in-one CPU module is suited for I/O intensive applications like automation, industrial control, transportation, and others.

The CP9 is also available in an extended temperature version with an operating temperature range of -40 to +55C.

The CR9 is designed to meet the harsh environmental requirements of markets such as heavy industry, simulation/training, test and measurement, military and aerospace.

The low power consumption of the Pentium M allows the CR9 to address the need for Intel processors in environments that once were limited by cooling restrictions.

The CR9 can address rugged requirements with optional conduction cooling (VITA 30.1-2001 and ANSI/VITA 20-2001), wedge-locks and rear I/O.
