Advantech Incorporates M-Systems' DiskOnChip 2000 TSOP in Its System On Module Solutions.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2002 DiskOnChip 2000 TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) A very thin, plastic, rectangular surface mount chip package with gull-wing pins on its two short sides. TSOPs are about a third as thick as SOJ chips. See gull-wing lead, SOP, SOJ and chip package. 16MB Flash Disk Helps to Cut Cost and Risk for Embedded System Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. Developers and Contributes to Small Size of Advantech's SOMs M-Systems (Nasdaq:FLSH), a leader in flash disk data storage products, today announced that Advantech Company Ltd. (TAI:2395.TW), Taiwan's largest producer of industrial computer products and a world leader in PC-based embedded computing solutions products, has incorporated the 16MB DiskOnChip(R) 2000 TSOP into its System On Module (SOM) solutions. Advantech's SOM products bridge the gap between conventional off-the-shelf single board computers and custom-made computing platforms for embedded applications. M-Systems' DiskOnChip 2000 TSOP, designed specifically for embedded applications, is being utilized for local storage of the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , applications and data in applications based on Advantech's SOM. Advantech's SOM solution provides system integrators with a ready-to-use, "off the shelf" 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. platform, complete with the DiskOnChip 2000 TSOP, around which they can build their customized embedded applications. Instead of having to expend ex·pend tr.v. ex·pend·ed, ex·pend·ing, ex·pends 1. To lay out; spend: expending tax revenues on government operations.
