ADLINK Announces Ultra Low Power COM Express Module Based on Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor.Integration of Intel[R] Atom[TM] Processor Lowers Power Consumption While Enabling New Ultra Mobile, Internet Connected, Battery-Powered Devices for the Embedded Market TAIPAI & IRVINE, Calif. -- ADLINK Technology, Inc., a global provider of trusted embedded products, today announced Express-MLC, the newest member of its Computer on Module (COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. ) Express([R]) family. The Express-MLC, measuring 95x95 millimeters, is a COM Express type 2 compatible design based on the Intel[R] Atom[TM] processor Z500 series with the new Intel[R] System Controller Hub (SCH SCH School SCH Schedule SCH Search SCH Semester Credit Hours SCH Santander Central Hispano (bank in Spain) SCH Socket Head SCH Synchronization Channel SCH Succinylcholine SCH Space Center Houston ) US15W. ADLINK's COM Express[TM] modules are highly integrated off-the-shelf building blocks based on PCI Express bus architecture that plugs into custom-made, application-specific carrier boards. Express-MLC allows for innovative designs in the area of mobile and "light" computing needs, including: portable and mobile equipment for the automotive and test and measurement industries; visual communication in the medical field, such as home care and video conferencing; entry level public gaming devices; and public points of communications. Using the Intel Atom processor and Intel SCH US15W chipset, developers can rely on a wide variety of mainstream software applications and middleware that will run unmodified and full function on this platform and that end users are familiar with already. "The addition of Express-MLC to our COM Express product range will allow our OEM customers to leverage the Ultra Mobile product offerings from Intel," said Henk van Bremen, Product Director for ADLINK Embedded Division. "We have seen a growing amount of requests over the last two years for task-specific light computing equipment for both mobile and stationary use, and the Intel[R] Atom[TM] processor is the right answer to that." Although much smaller, Intel[R] Atom[TM] processor shares the same architecture as the new Intel[R] Core 2 Duo See Core 2. processors and additionally supports Hyper-Threading Technology, a feature earlier introduced with the Intel[R] Pentium[R] 4 processor, allowing more than one code thread to be executed simultaneously on a single core processor. The Intel SCH US15W, the single chip chipset accompanying the Intel Atom processor, offers an integrated 3D graphics core with dual independent display support on either the integrated 24-bit LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. or through dual SDVO SDVO Serial Digital Video Output SDVO Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned extension. The true power of the US15W's graphic core, however, resides in the built-in video hardware decoding that offers acceleration for MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 2, MPEG4, H.264, WMV9 and VC1. The integrated hardware decoding enables the system to achieve high transfer rates under very modest CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. loading. "By offering seven year extended life cycle support for the Intel[R] Atom[TM] processor, Intel is extending our product roadmap and offering all of the benefits of Intel architecture to the ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption. Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
About Express-MLC The Express-MLC will be available in a "basic" version that simply supports the feature set Intel[R] Atom[TM] processor with the new Intel[R] System Controller Hub US15W. The "basic" version supports Two PCI Express x1, LVDS, SDVO, 8x USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0, SDIO See SDIO card. , Audio and LPC-bus. The same module is also available with an "Extended" feature set and offers in addition to the "basic" features: PCI-bus, PCIe based Gbe LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and PCIe based SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. . Sample and Production Availability Customer samples are expected to be available in May 2008, while production is planned for July 2008.
