A Total Solution To provide a more complete system solution for our customers, Advantech is currently modifying its compact MBPC-200 chassis to accommodate the extra connectors and functions featured on the PCM-5820. To further expand the options and increase the convenience for our customers, an additional power supply (PS-25D) is being developed which would accept DC input of between 9 to 36 volts. Currently, the PS-50A power supply accepts AC input of between 110 to 220 volts. Availability Sample orders and pricing information can be obtained from your local Advantech representative. If a hassle-free, compact Pentium® level solution is what you're looking for, then call Advantech or check out our web site at http://www.advantech.com/epc for more information. New Advantech CPU Card Part of "Intel Platform Provider" Program
About the Program With this program, Intel guarantees the supply of its embedded chips for several years (typically 5 to 7 years). This means that the customer need not worry that their current product will be suddenly phased out due to lack of supply. Intel also pledges to provide technical support for its full set of chips and components. This program reinforces the idea that Intel stands for high quality, reliability and compatibility. About the Card The card itself is definitely feature packed. A low power consumption Intel embedded solution Pentium®-MMX CPU is mounted directly on board, with a frequency choice of either 166 MHz or 266 MHz. Mounting CPUs directly on-board eases the configuration and installation process because there is no need to set any jumpers. Also on board is an all-Intel set of support chips. These include an Intel 430TX chipset, an Intel 100Base-T Ethernet chip, and an Intel VGA/LCD chip with 2 MB video RAM on chip (C&T 69000). In addition, this chip combination, as well as the entire card itself, has been specially designed for embedded use, which means low power consumption. Lastly, this card features an SSD socket for CompactFlash Disks ranging from 4 - 40 MB. An option which Advantech offers includes the PCA-6751 and a 10 MB CompactFlash Disk preloaded with Windows® CE ver. 2.1. |
