Avalue Technology, a member of the Intel Embedded Alliance, has unveiled a new 3.5inch single board computer ECM-QB, which is powered by the Intel Atom processor E620/640/660/680 series.
The new Intel Atom processor E6xx series is a System-on-Chip Atom-based processor that includes a memory controller, high-definition video decoder and video encoding engine, a legacy peripheral controller, and a high-definition audio controller.
This provides system builders with support for smaller housing designs than previous Atom-based chips and includes a PCI Express bus interface.
The bus interface allows flexible connectivity for USB, COM, SATA and so on via an I/O chip, or PCI Express-compliant add-on cards such as video, audio and graphics.
Through Intel Platform Controller Hub EG20T, the new ECM-QB supports single channel 18/24-bit LVDS and CRT+LVDS multi-display, while I/O deployment includes 2 SATA, 3 RS-232, 1 RS-422, 1 RS-485, 1 CAN, 4 USB 2.0, and 8-bit GPIO.
The company said that ECM-QB 3.5inch micro module includes Intel Platform Controller Hub EG20T; Onboard DDR2 1GB Memory; 2 SATA, 3 RS-232, 1 RS-422, 1 RS-485 , and 1 CAN Bus; 1 PCIe Mini Card slot; and wide temperature tolerance.
