Adlink Technology has announced the Express-ATC, the newest member of its computer on module (COM) family.
The Express-ATC is a 'compact' COM Express module measuring 95 x 95mm and is compatible with the Type 2 pin-out of the PICMG COM Express specification. It has been designed as an off-the-shelf module that is ready to plug into custom made, application specific carrier boards for embedded and mobile applications.
Its target applications are medical diagnostics and medical imaging, gaming, industrial automation, test and measurement and industrial control.
Based on the Intel Atom N270 processor and Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset, the Express-ATC comes with integrated support for high resolution CRT, single/dual channel LVDS and TV out (SDTV and HDTV). In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, the chipset's SDVO bus can be used to connect to DVI, TMDS or additional LVDS device controllers by extension to a custom designed carrier.
It supports up to 2Gb of DDR2 533MHz memory on a single SODIMM socket and supports three PCI Express x1 lanes via the Intel I/O Controller Hub 7-M (ICH7-M) Southbridge, one Gigabit Ethernet connection and two SATA channels. Legacy support is provided for a single Parallel ATA channel, 32-bit PCI and low pin count bus (LPC).
The Express-ATC supports onboard IDE-based solid state drive up to 8Gb and comes standard with an integrated Trusted Platform module providing secure storage of encryption keys for system and data protection.
The module is equipped with AMIBIOS8, supporting a variety of embedded features. Positioned for portable and mobile applications, the Express-ATC BIOS supports ACPI-based Smart Battery for single or dual smart battery sub systems.
