Advantech Introduces New PCA-6772

Well Connected
Not one, not two, but three RJ-45 LAN connectors enhance Advantech's new PCA-6772 ISA based half-sized SBC with CPU onboard. And, if you choose the Eden400 CPU, the PCA-6772 is fanless. This is perfect for modern gateway devices, VPNs, firewalls, or machine controllers. 

The PCA-6772 features a VIA low power CPU: either Eden400 or Ezra800. The VIA Eden processor uses advanced 0.13” CMOS technology with 128KB L1 cache memory and 64KB L2 cache memory on die. This board with Eden400 CPU can operate without a fan at temperatures up to 60° C (140° F) and typically consumes under 14 Watts while supporting numerous peripherals. The PCA-6772 includes a 4X AGP controller, a PCI Ethernet interface, and 18-bit TTL interface.
Its design is based on the half-sized CPU card and supports ISA bus expansion. Other on-board features include an FDD, LPT, 2 USBs, and 2 serial ports. The SSD solution supports CompactFlash™ cards. With the optional PCM-231A-00A1, the PCA-6772 can support AC97 Audio.
This product uses a VIA Twister chip with Integrated Savage4 2D/3D/Video Accelerator and supports 4X AGP VGA/LCD interface and up to 32 MB frame buffer using system memory. The PCA-6772 supports 3 10/100Mbps Ethernet connections with onboard RJ-45 connectors.
