MSC Q7-US15W-FD module
MSC Vertriebs has introduced its latest compact embedded Qseven module, which is suitable for memory-demanding applications.
The MSC Q7-US15W-FD module, offered in the 70 x 70mm format and based on the Intel Atom processor, is now available with 512Mb or 1Gb of memory and also with an onboard 2Gb DDR2-533 SDRAM.
The new module, with integrated 4Gb of flash, will be complemented by a 2Gb flash disk version.
The industrial-grade flash disk offers an endurance of 10 million write cycles.
The modules allow customers to boot their embedded system not only via an external hard disk but also via the flash disk.
Windows XP Embedded and Linux operating systems are supported.
The Qseven module is available in two performance grades with the power-saving Z530 Intel Atom processor (1.6GHz) or the Z510 processor, which runs at 1.1GHz clock frequency.
The Z530 central processing unit (CPU) supports Hyper Threading and Intel Virtualisation Technology.
The board also integrates the System Control Hub Intel US15W featuring the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500.
The MSC Q7-US15W-FD computer on module offers a selection of interfaces defined in the Qseven specification.
Eight USB 2.0 ports, one PCI Express x1 lane, LPC, high-definition audio, two Sata channels at 150Mb/sec and an 10/100/1000Base TX Ethernet interface are available.
A variety of different displays can be connected via LVDS (18-/24-bit) with a maximal resolution of 1,366 x 768 and via SVDO with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.
In the dual independent display mode, two displays can be driven simultaneously.
For the evaluation and design-in of its Qseven module range, the company offers a complete reference platform.
