Advantech SOM-4472 Product Launch


The SOM-4472 combines low cost, and low power requirements with a high performance data rate to make it a powerful competitor against older,
Pentium-based designs. This is an SOM-ETX form factor CPU module board, with chipsets similar to Advantech’s SBC PCM-9575. The onboard VIA low power Ezra 800 MHz or Eden 400MHz processor uses advanced 0.13u CMOS technology with 128KB L1 cache memory and 64KB L2 cache memory on die. Thisboard 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. The SOM-4472 includes a 4X AGP controller, TV out, a PCI audio interface, a PCI Ethernet interface, and 2 channel LVDS interface. Other I/O features include an LPT, 4 USBs, IrDA and 2 serial ports. For storage, there is support for two FDDs and up to two EIDE devices.

 
True Multimedia SOM-ETX

The SOM-4472 TV-out supports both NTSC and PAL formats through S-Video and composite connectors. The 3D engine 4X AGP VGA/LCD controller supports DVD play. 3D audio complies with the AC97 standard.

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 SOM-4472's powerful processor choices and solid system chipset make it a perfect core technology for multimedia, medical equipment, and other long life applications. It is also effective for use as a mini-server or gateway device, through its ability to add more Ethernet ports through its flexible design of carrier boards.
