PXA270 module optimised for mobile
embedded use
The Triton-270 is a complete PXA270 computer on a DIMM200 module optimised for mobile embedded designs where low power consumption and extremely small size are critical.
Measuring just 30.5 x 66 x 4mm, the Triton-270 is a complete PXA270 computer on a DIMM200 module optimised for mobile embedded designs where low power consumption and extremely small size are critical A complete development kit that allows the 270 to run out-of-the-box is available with Linux kernel 2.6 or Windows CE 5.0 pre-installed

Strategic Test has extended its range of PXA270 SOMs with the release of the low-cost Triton-270.
Embedded SBC takes automotive DC supplies
The Zeon StrongARM computer board is optimised for embedded industrial and automotive applications.
Ultra-fast sampling board runs up to 125Mbit/s
The UF.7021 is a full-length PCI board with 64 digital input or output channels that can simultaneously capture and replay signals at a maximum sample rate of 125Mbit/s.
The Intel PXA270 (formally "Bulverde") processor is ideally suited to high-performance, low power consumption multimedia and wireless embedded applications.
The PXA270 is the first Intel XScale processor to include: Intel wireless MMX technology that enables high-performance multimedia acceleration based on the Pentium instruction set; and Intel's Quick Capture - a flexible and powerful camera interface for capturing digital images and video.
The PXA270 also includes the new Wireless Intel SpeedStep technology that delivers exceptionally low-power operation.
The Triton-270 is supplied as standard with a 512MHz PXA270 processor, 64Mbyte of low-power mobile SDRAM (1.8V) and 16Mbyte wireless Flash memory (1.8V).
There are options for 312 and 416MHz CPUs, 32Mbyte SDRAM and 8Mbyte Flash.
In addition to the standard PXA270 power management capabilities, Strategic Test has also included a programmable core voltage generator on the Triton module.
This industry-unique feature allows the user to vary the PXA270 supply voltage from 1.1 to 1.3V and further reduce power consumption.
The Triton-270 uses a 200-pin DIMM connector to bring out all of the PXA270's internal signals.
These include: integrated LCD controller for direct connection to a display, a PCMCIA interface, Bluetooth UART, baseband/multimedia interface, USB 2.0 On the Go interface, Memory Stick controller, MMC/SD/SDIC interface, I2S and AC 97 interfaces, three SSP and three Asynch serial interfaces, keypad interface, GPIO and four PWM interfaces.
The Triton-270 is available immediately from Strategic Test and is priced at $299 in 1000-off quantities.
Configurations with less SDRAM and Flash, or an extended operating temperature range are available with minimum order quantities of 100 pieces.
All Triton modules are supplied with RedBoot operating system boot loader pre-installed.
The 270 can be supplied with Linux 2.6 or Windows CE 5.0 operating systems.
A complete development kit is also available and will be announced separately.
