PC/104 CPU board has fanless geode LX800 processor

24 January 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

Digital-Logic′s Microspace PC/104 module, the MSM800SEL, is a robust CPU board based on the AMD Geode LX800 processor. This processor is an x86-based chip that was specially-designed for embedded applications and mobile devices.

The processor runs at 500 MHz and is said to provide performance equivalent to that of an 800 MHz processor. It does not require a fan, consumes only about 1,6 W (CPU) and provides an integrated 2D graphic chip with an analog and a digital output.

The MSM800SEL features common standard PC interfaces for PS/2 keyboard and mouse, hard disk, floppy disk, and printer. The two serial interfaces are available as V24/RS232C. Other features such as four USB V2.0 ports, graphics, a 100/10Base-T-Ethernet port, and the possibility of expandable functions using PC/104-Plus (ISA and PCI) ensure a large range of applications.

Up to two parallel display interfaces (VGA/24-bit, digital video interface/TFT) may be connected. The video controller, which is integrated in the Geode processor, supports VGA displays with (320x240) up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The video memory, with a maximum of 32 MB, is UMA multiplexed with a main memory with up to 1 GB.

For optional assembly with EIDE solid-state memories, the PC/104 board includes an optional CompactFlash type I/II slot. Further options are a cable kit, as well as an FP to DVI-D and an FP to LVDS adapter. The CPU board runs all common operating systems such as Windows XP, QNX, Linux, etc. The embedded computer requires a 5 V power supply and operates within a standard temperature range of 0 to +60°C.
