Fanless 1 GHz Ultra Low Power Celeron-M(R) Industrial SBC Operates from -40 degrees to +70 degrees C for Rugged, Performance-Driven Applications from WinSystems, Inc.BOSTON -- Today, WinSystems announced their EBC-855-G, an EBX-compatible, Intel 1GHz ultra low-power, Celeron([R]) (Dothan core) single board computer (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ). It operates over an industrial temperature range of -40 to +70Celsius. Target applications include MIL/COTS, industrial automation, medical/diagnostic equipment, communications, security, test and measurement, and outdoor transaction terminals. The board has been designed with parts designated for long-term availability in the embedded market and is priced at only $595 (quantity = 1). PRODUCT FEATURES The EBC-855-G is a full-featured SBC with a variety of on-board peripherals which eliminate the need for additional standard I/O peripheral cards. It is based on the Intel's popular 855GME GME granulomatous meningoencephalitis. GME Graduate medical education, see there chipset with the ICH4 communications controller and integrated Extreme Graphics 2 video 3D controller. The EBC-855-G features an Intel 1 GHz Celeron-M. Both 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. and system controller are supplied from Intel's Embedded Architecture Division for long-term availability. It supports a maximum of 1GB of industry-standard PC2700 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. , up to 8GB of CompactFlash plus support for hard and floppy disk drives. The EBC-855-G offers a full set of I/O interfaces including a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port (with remote boot capability); VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. and dual channel 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. flat panel video, a miniPCI connector that supports an optional 802.11 wireless networking module, four 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 ports, four serial COM ports, AC97 audio (5.1 codec), LPT LPT - /L-P-T/ or /lip'it/ or /lip-it'/ Line printer. Rare under Unix, more common among hackers who grew up with ITS, MS-DOS, CP/M and other operating systems that were strongly influenced by early DEC conventions. and a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse. A software programmable 48-line digital I/O controller is onboard that provides input, output or output with readback for each I/O line. The board also is populated with both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interface connectors for support of additional off-the-shelf or user-designed specialty I/O modules. Since the EBC-855-G architecture is PC compatible, it supports Windows([R]) CE and XP embedded, Linux, and a vast software development tool set including device drivers and libraries. It also supports other real time operating systems such as QNX and VxWorks. The EBC-855-G uses the Phoenix Trusted core BIOS. It supports advanced features such as custom splash screen, APM 1.2 and ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. 1.0b power management modes, PXE boot and multi-language support. The BIOS also supports legacy operation of a USB keyboard and mouse, as well as booting from a USB floppy disk, USB keys, and other USB-connected mass storage devices. The EBC-855-G measures 5.75" x 8.0" (146mm x 203mm) and is an EBX-compatible platform. The EBC-855-G requires only +5 volts and typically draws 2.1 Amps (typical) with 1 Gigabyte of DDR SDRAM installed. The board is RoHS compliant. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY The 1GHz board is priced at $595 (qty. = 1). Delivery is from stock to three weeks.
