AMC Processor Module with Extended Temperature option
Concurrent Technologies announced its latest high performance Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) single width, mid-height or full-height, processor module suitable for AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, Scope Alliance and proprietary platforms. The AM 210/x0x features a low power dual core processor from the Intel embedded roadmap - the Intel Core2 Duo processor operating at 2.26 GHz or 1.86 GHz and supports up to 8 Gbytes DDR3-1066 SDRAM.
The The AM 210/x0x board supports the 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SP9300 or the 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 processor. The processor utilizes Intel’s 45nm process technology, and offers a large last-level on-die cache (6 Mbytes), 1066 MHz Front Side Bus, Intel® Virtualization, Intel® 64 Technology, improved power management, plus new features and enhancements to the Intel® Core™ micro-architecture delivering increased instructions per clock. The Intel® Thermal Design Power (TDP) for the 45nm 2.26 GHz dual core processor is 25W giving a much improved performance per Watt when compared to earlier generations of processors. The Intel® GS45 Graphics Memory Controller Hub and Intel® ICH9M-SFF IO Controller Hub are used to complement the processor to achieve a low power, yet high performance core design. The board is suited for CPU intensive processing applications whereby the processor’s dual cores can access up to 8 Gbytes of dual channel DDR3-1066 SDRAM, via two SODIMMs, with a peak bandwidth of up to 16 Gbytes/s.
The AM 210/x0x is designed in compliance to AMC.0 (including full or mid-height front panel, full hot swap, and IPMI capabilities), AMC.1 Type 8 (single x8 or dual x4 PCI Express interface), AMC.2 Type E2 (2 x Gigabit Ethernet interfaces) and AMC.3 Type S2 (2 x Serial ATA300 ports). A variant is available providing rear I/O compatibility with Scope Alliance systems. In the AMC extended options region the module also features, as a sales variant, 2 x Serial ATA300 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports and an RS-232 port. There is a further Gigabit Ethernet port, 2 x USB 2.0 ports and an RS-232 port accessible via the front panel. An optional onboard USB Flash disk is available in a range of capacities of up to 8 Gbytes.
Commercial temperature (0°C to +55°C) and extended temperature (-25°C to +70°C) variants are now available with either the mid-height or full-height front panel type.
For ease of integration, many of today’s leading operating systems are supported including Linux®, Windows® Server 2003, Windows® Server 2008, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, VxWorks® and QNX®.
