Description



The ADL855PC is based on the Intel Pentium M / Celeron M processors offering clock rates up to 1.8GHz. The Intel 855GME chipset (GMCH) supports a 400MHz FSB with integrated Intel Graphics controller “Extreme Graphics 2“. It can drive either a CRT or LVDS LCD. The memory is added via an SODIMM200 socket and can accept up to 1Gigabyte of DDR333 SDRAM.



The ADL855PC power management incorporates ACPI/APM functions, which utilizes Intel's Advanced SpeedStep (Pentium M only) feature. The standard ADL855PC also incorporates PCI 2.2 Bus, EIDE, 4xUSB 2.0, 2xRS232 COM ports, PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse, parallel printer, AC97 Sound (0°C to +70°C only), and 10/100MBit LAN and more.



ADL Embedded Solutions offer highly effective active and passive cooling solutions based on proven thermal data and mounting techniques; resulting in the least possible mechanical board stress. Please contact your Sales Engineer for detailed information on cooling solutions to fit your needs.



Note: On the basis of its current material planning, ADL Embedded Solutions guarantees product availability for the 855GME chipset, Pentium-M 745 1.8GHz and Celeron-M 373 1.0GHz processors until 2015, thus providing sufficient time for customers to transition from the 16-bit ISA bus to newer interconnect technologies. The Celeron-M at 600MHz and 1.5Ghz, and the Pentium-M at 1.4GHz processors will undergo normal last time buy process when EOL is announced by Intel.
