AMBLER, Pa. - MEN Micro Inc., a world-renowned provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for mission-critical industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, now offers a 3U CompactPCI (CPCI) single board computer (SBC) that combines low-power Intel Atom XL processors with an onboard FPGA for user-defined functions, the first SBC available to offer this capability.
The new F11S opens up a new range of design flexibility for not only industrial and harsh embedded computing environments, but also for a variety of embedded mobile, railway and transportation applications, including automatic train control and infotainment systems, where reliability and operation in extended temperatures are critical.
Depending on the application, the board can be equipped with various 45 nm-based Intel Atom XL processors, which offer a maximum power dissipation of 7 W at a speed of up to 1.6 GHz. The board''s specially designed heat sink enables operation across an extended -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) temperature range.
The board''s standard front I/O includes a COM interface via a D-Sub connector as well as two USB 2.0 ports, graphics via VGA or UXGA and a PS/2 interface for a keyboard or a mouse. Further interfaces include a Gigabit Ethernet slot via PCI Express x1 and an FPGA-based Fast Ethernet slot on the RJ45 connectors.
