ETX-945 - Extended Temperature COM Boasts Core 2 Duo Performance
Diamond Systems Corp today launched a series of ETX 3.0 compliant computer-on-module (COM) products based on Intel’s LV and ULV CoreTM 2 Duo and Core Duo processors. The modules operate over an extended temperature range of -40o to +85o C, making them suitable for performance- and reliability-critical applications, including aerospace, defense, transportation, energy management, and industrial automation. To simplify the migration of PC/104-Plus stacks to these high-performance Intel processors, the ETX-945 is available as a pre-integrated “Pluto” module with a PC/104-Plus expansion interface.
The The ETX-945’s advanced high-resolution display controller works with analog and LVDS-interfaced CRTs and LCDs at resolutions up to 2048x1536 pixels, and supports dual independent displays.
The ETX-945 is used as a macrocomponent, plugged into system baseboards containing application-specific circuitry, interface buffering, I/O connectors, and other required functions and components. The module’s inclusion of both 32-bit PCI and 16-bit ISA expansion buses on its ETX 3.0-compliant interface maximizes the ease and flexibility of system development.
Supported operating systems currently include Windows XP and Linux 2.6, with support for additional OSes and RTOSes (real-time OSes) available on request.
