2.1ETX®-CD
Based on the ETX® standard, Kontron’s ETX®-CD, powered by a variety of Intel Pentium core duo processors, is a next-generation embedded module that brings advanced technology to tomorrow’s applications, as well as continuing today’s legacy devices. Built around serial differential signaling technologies, ETX®-CD modules incorporate the following interfaces into a 95 x 114 small form factor embedded module:
Core2Duo® (L7400) / Core Duo® (L2400 LV) / Core Solo® / Celeron® M (CM 423)
PCI
2x Serial ATA (SATA)
1x Parallel ATA (IDE)
USB
2x Serial Port (COM)
1x Parallel Port (LPT) shared with Floppy
LVDS, SDVO, VGA 10/100 MB Ethernet ISA bus
Audio
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
The ETX®-CD is built around the Intel Core Duo processors that use the Yonah and Merom Core and the Mobile Intel 945GME Express chipset, which is the first mobile platform to offer PCI Express functionality with extended life cycle support. These modules feature the most current desktop features such as USB, SATA, and PCI buses.
The ETX®-CD delivers up to 2GHz performance and up to 2GB DDR2 RAM. For applications that require advanced real-time video capabilities, the ETX®-CD has integrated graphics based on the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 architecture.
The ETX®-CD supports 4 PCI 32-bit PCI devices. A 10/100 megabits per second Ethernet port provides fast connectivity to LAN/WAN and 4x USB interface provides fast and sufficient interfaces for external peripherals.
ETX®-CD modules also provide the following interfaces that are always located in the same physical position on each board:
PCI32, USB, serial ATA (SATA), parallel ATA (PATA), LVDS Multi Media ports, as well as an ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for optimized power management are available on the board. Six mounting holes on the board provide secure mounting to allow the module increased shock and vibration resistance.
