PCM-9575 Product Launch

Advantech is pleased to announce that the PCM-9575, featuring a low power, high performance VIA processor, will be available in February, 2002.

Lows and Highs

Low cost, low power, low noise (both EMI and acoustic), but high performance, and high data rate, make the PCM-9575 a powerful competitor for older Pentium-based designs. This is a new EBX form factor 5.25" single board computer with an onboard VIA low power Ezra 800 MHz or Eden 400MHz processor. The VIA processor uses advanced 0.13u CMOS technology with 128KB L1 cache memory and 64KB L2 cache memory on die. This board can operate without a fan at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F) (800MHz model requires a small fan) and typically consumes under 14 Watts, even while supporting numerous peripherals. This SBC includes a 4X AGP controller, a PCI audio interface, a PCI Ethernet interface, and 2 channel LVDS interface. Its design is based on the EBX form factor that supports the PC/104-Plus interface for ISA/PCI module upgrades. Other on-board features include a PCI slot, an LPT, 2 USBs, IrDA and 4 serial ports: 3 RS-232 and 1 RS-232/422/485, and optional TV out and additional USB3, USB4 . The SSD solution supports both DiskOnChip® 2000 and CompactFlash™ I/II cards.

This product uses a VIA Twister chip with Integrated Savage4 2D/3D/Video Accelerator, north bridge and LCD controller, and supports 4X AGP VGA/LCD interface and up to 32 MB frame buffer using system memory. The board is effective for use as a mini-server or gateway device, through its ability to add more ethernet ports through its fast PC/104-plus socket or PCI slot. The PCM-9575's powerful processor choices and solid system chipset make it a perfect core technology for multimedia, medical equipment, and other long life applications. And the high quality TV-out option makes numerous other applications available too.

SBC with EBX Form Factor, PC/104-Plus, and VIA processor

With this board and its EBX form factor and PC/104-Plus interface, system engineers can develop their own products or buy them off the shelf. Up to two ATA/100 EIDE devices can be supported as well as two FDDs.

True Multimedia SBC

The PCM-9575 supports 3D audio and complies with the AC97 standard and 3D engine 4X AGP VGA/LCD controller which supports DVD play. The PCM-9575 combines audio, TV-out (optional), and network functions on a single board computer the same size as the EBX form factor standard. Optional TV-out supports NTSC and PAL formats through a composite video connector and an S-Video connector via the optional cable kit.

Features

  • Embedded low power VIA 800MHz or 400MHz processor
  • Applied EBX form factor standard and supports PC/104+ bus
  • Fanless operation with 400MHz processor
  • 133MHz FSB and 4X AGP graphics for high performance applications
  • TV out option

Availability

The PCM-9575 with VIA Ezra 800MHz and VIA Eden 400MHZ processors will be available in February, 2002. An intermediate model, employing a VIA 667MHz processor, will be available soon after.
