Portwell develops low-power motherboard
Review Display Systems
PEB-2738
Portwell's sub-compact PEB-2738 from Review Display Systems is designed for field applications that require a reliable motherboard that uses little power.
The unit is based around Intel's low-power Menlow XL chipset offering either the 1.1GHz or 1.3GHz CPU.
This Atom Z500 processor offers dual-core performance for applications that can use simultaneous multithreading.
The board will support FSB at 533MHz and up to 2GB of system memory.
The low-power requirement of 3.96W at +12V DC ensures that motherboard heat generation within a system is kept to a minimum, allowing use of the compact form factor of 102mm x 146mm when designing the system housing.
This coupled with an operating temperature of -40C to + 85C makes the board suitable for systems built to be used in the field.
The board also features a compact flash socket, two serial RS232 ports, four USB ports plus one client USB port, Gigabit Ethernet and SDIO header.
An on-board 24-bit LVDS display driver capability can be enhanced to full independent dual display support via the SDVO expansion port.
Other features include on-board audio and a watchdog timer.
The board is suitable for applications where space is a premium and its extreme temperature range makes it suitable for outdoor control applications.
