Eurotech Unveils the CPU-1464 PC/104-Plus Pentium III Highly Reliable Single Board Computer with Gigabit Ethernet

This new RoHS compliant CPU module integrates high-speed networking and a robust processor targeting bandwidth-intensive embedded applications.

Amaro (Udine, Italy) – 14th December 2006

Eurotech has today introduced the CPU-1464, a highly reliable Single Board Computer (SBC) for mobile high-speed networking applications. This RoHS compliant module is based around the 800MHz Intel Pentium III processor with 256MB DRAM soldered onboard and high-speed Gigabit Ethernet. The CPU-1464 is an upgrade and replacement to the widely proven CPU-1463 CPU module.

Suitable applications for the CPU-1464 include networked mobile real-time applications such as telecommunications controllers, vehicle data servers and routers, network controllers or multimedia and high-end video systems. The CPU-1464 is the optimal choice of processing unit when selecting the core components for your vehicle-based applications that need to be highly resistant to temperature, shock and vibration extremes.

Dedicated interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100Mbit Ethernet, 4 USB1.1 ports, 2 serial ports, 1 AC97 audio interface, 1 standard VGA output, 1 LVDS output and also keyboard & PS/2 mouse ports. IDE mass storage devices, such as a Disk-on-Module, CF card or HDD, can be connected to the onboard high-speed EIDE controller. Also included is a real time clock, hardware watchdog timer and non-volatile memory for system set-up storage.

The unique construction of this CPU module makes structural heat dissipation through an enclosure easy to implement therefore expanding the range of suitable applications. Efficient heat conduction from components and an optimised low power design results in a wide standard operating temperature range from 0ºC to +50ºC or an extended range of -40°C to +85°C.

Full compatibility with the x86 hardware architecture guarantees compatibility with standard operating systems such as WinCE®, WinXPE® and Linux®. A CPU development system is available to speed up project development, testing and integration.
