New PCM-9572F Blows Away Class with Performance and Features

Advantech is introducing a new, fanless Pentium® III EBX single board computer. The PCM-9572F, with its small overall size (8" x 5.75") and low power, Pentium® III 500 MHz processor for data/graphics crunching capability, outperforms all boards in its class. The low power Pentium® III processor gives unparalleled reliability, perfect for use in medical equipment and other long life applications. By having the functionality of being a multimedia ready embedded SBC that includes TV-out and DVD support, or a point-of-sale (POS) capable control board with 8 digital I/Os and cash drawer support, or a mini-server or gateway device, the PCM-9572F is truly an industry leader.

Powerful Expansion Capability

There are numerous other features on the PCM-9572F that promote performance and flexibility. With the PCM-9572F's PC/104-Plus socket, multiple high-speed PCI sockets are always available as is the increased flexibility and cost savings of being able to use off-the-shelf add-on PC/104 modules, which Advantech can also provide. For example, by simply adding a PC/104-Plus Ethernet module, two additional LAN ports can easily be added. Advantech is high on the new PCM-9572's ability to be right at home in such a wide range of dynamic applications. We feel this might be the most capable single board computer Advantech has ever manufactured, examine the possibilities and we think you will agree.

A Host of Standard Features

This board includes all the features to empower multiple application needs. The PCM-9572F can operate without a fan at temperatures up to 60° C (140° F) and typically consumes fewer than 16 Watts (with Pentium III 500 MHz and 64 MB DRAM). This SBC includes a VGA/LCD controller that supports dual 24 bit TFT LCD or one 48-bit TFT LCD, a PCI audio interface, a PCI Ethernet interface, and 8 digital inputs and outputs. It also supports wake on LAN, Modem. Its design is based on the EBX form factor that supports the PC/104-Plus interface for ISA/PCI module upgrades as well as having connectors strategically located on the PCB for better and easier embedded integration. Other on-board features include 2 LPT, 2 USB, Fast IrDA and 4 serial ports: 3 RS-232 and 1 RS-232/422/485. The SSD solution supports both DiskOnChip® 2000 and CompactFlash™ card. We also offer a more price competitive version of the PCM-9572F with a fanless, Celeron™ 400 MHz processor for applications that don't need as intensive data and graphics handling capability, but still want a top of the line board for their application.

Multimedia, DVD and TV-out Increase Range of Applications

The PCM-9572F supports 3D audio and complies with the AC97 standard and 3D engine VGA/LCD controller that support DVD play. The PCM-9572F combines audio, TV-out, and network functions on a single board computer. It provides TV-out that supports composite video connectors and S-Video connectors via an optional cable kit, and a TV-out function which supports NSTC and PAL formats.
