Parvus Announces Availability of Four Rugged Celeron-based Embedded Computers: SpacePC 1450, 1451, 1453 and 1850.SALT LAKE CITY -- New PC/104-Plus SpacePC CPUs Combine Fanless -40 Degrees Celsius to +85 Degrees Celsius Extended Temperature Operation with 256MB of Soldered Ram for High Reliability in Mobile Computing Applications Parvus Corp. today announced that it now has stock for all four of its new Celeron-based PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 embedded processor boards. Designed around the new ULV Intel Celeron Tualatin processor and Intel 815E chipset, the SpacePC 1450, 1451, 1453 and 1850 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. modules are ruggedly designed, Single Board Computers (SBCs) ideally suited for mobile embedded computing applications. The three PC/104-Plus models (SpacePC 1450, 1451 and 1453) incorporate a unique aluminum heat spreader spreader, n See condenser. plate on top of the processor boards so that sealed embedded systems can reliably operate from -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius without a fan. Extensive thermal analysis has been performed to ensure that components are not stressed by excessive temperature load when Parvus-recommended mounting instructions are followed. These three products also integrate 256MB of RAM soldered directly onto the boards -- to guarantee RAM compatibility, further enhance thermal performance, and ensure operation under shock and vibration stress when used in mobile applications (i.e. trains, buses, aircraft, tanks, vehicles, etc.). The 1451 and 1453 are differentiated from the 1450 in that they also support 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 or Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps). The PCI-104 form factor model, the SpacePC 1850, is targeted for more cost-sensitive applications with more moderate thermal requirements. It includes the same basic set of onboard peripherals as the three PC/104-Plus models (USB 1.1, Fast Ethernet, VGA, serial, audio, keyboard, mouse, IDE, etc.), but alternatively integrates finned finned adj. Having a fin, fins, or finlike parts. Often used in combination: single-finned; multifinned. heatsinks on top of components, SO-DIMM See SODIMM. SO-DIMM - Small Outline DIMM 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. memory (up to 512MB), and an 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. video interface (in addition to VGA). The 1850 follows the new PCI-only architecture of the PC/104 specification (known as PCI-104), while the other three models are PC/104-Plus (PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and ISA bus). Like Parvus' other SpacePC processor modules, these new boards are hardware compatible with most popular real-time operating systems (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ), including Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded An enhanced version of Windows XP for compact applications such as PDAs, handhelds and other appliances that use the x86 CPU. It supports such features as CompactPCI and the ability to boot from flash memory or CD-ROM. , Linux, QNX Neutrino and VxWorks. A preinstalled ROM-DOS kernel, along with the system BIOS, come installed in the boards' 1MB Flash EPROM to facilitate rapid customer implementation. Pricing & Availability A limited quantity of the SpacePC 1450, 1451, 1453 and 1850 CPU modules is now in stock and priced from $557 to $979/each in volume orders of 100+ units. Some of the associated cable sets, development kits and adapters may temporarily be on backorder. Customers can contact Parvus sales for details: sales@parvus.com or 800-483-3152.
