ETX-N270 computer-on-module
Diamond Systems, a supplier of ruggedised single-board computers (SBCs) and expansion modules, has launched an ETX 3.0-compliant computer-on-module (COM).
The COM is based on Intel's low-power, high-performance Atom N270 processor.
Rated for operation over an enhanced -20C to +70C temperature range, the ETX-N270 is aimed at defence, transportation, energy management, industrial automation and medical applications.
Within a compact 4.5in x 3.7in (114mm x 95mm) footprint, the ETX-N270 integrates a high-performance, low-power 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, up to 2Gb of high-speed DDR2 system DRAM and a complete set of PC-compatible system controllers and interfaces.
The module's advanced high-resolution display controller supports analogue and LVDS-interfaced CRTs and LCDs and also provides a TV output option.
The ETX-N270 COM's set of input/output (I/O) interfaces also includes: one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port; one IDE interface (supporting two drives); two SATA interfaces (supporting one drive each); four USB 2.0 ports; two serial ports; AC'97 audio (mic in, line in/out); PS/2 keyboard/mouse support (USB keyboard mouse also supported); and one parallel port (shared with floppy interface).
The COM is intended to be used as a macro-component, plugged into system baseboards containing application-specific circuitry, interface buffering, I/O connectors and other required functions and components.
The module's inclusion of 32-bit PCI and 16-bit ISA expansion buses on its ETX 3.0-compliant interface maximises the ease and flexibility of system development, according to the company.
Supported operating systems currently include Windows XP and Linux 2.6, with support for additional OSes and real-time OSes (RTOSes) available on request.
