1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3318 is a 3U-sized CompactPCI all-in-one single board computer with Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M and compliance with the PICMG 2.0 R2.1 CompactPCI specifications. The MIC-3318 features a powerful onboard Intel Pentium 4 Processor–M 1.7 GHz CPU with low power dissipation. This CPU is designed for fanless operation and has a wide operating temperature range. The MIC-3318 offers very powerful functions on a 3U-sized board for performance-demanding applications like real-time machine control and industrial automation.
The MIC-3318 has been optimized for the Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M and Intel 845GV Chipset. It unveils a high performance cPCI platform that delivers compelling system bus speed performance across the 400 MHz Intel NetBurst Micro-Architecture. Innovative, wide data paths and flexible memory refresh technology, optimize the DDR SDRAM performance in MIC-3318.
High Performance Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M
The MIC-3318 supports the Intel Pentium 4 processor-M 1.7 GHz , with the µ-FCPGA package. The Intel Pentium 4 processor-M has on-chip 512KB L2 cache providing high performance. With the support of a 400 MHz front side bus, the MIC-3318 can fulfill customer’s expectations of price-performance and computing capability.
Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3318 has many functions for only 2-slots. Advantech provides a CPU heat sink specially designed for the Intel Pentium 4 processor-M, enabling the MIC-3318 to operate without a cooling fan on the heat sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis fans for ventilation. This enables the MIC-3318 to use the powerful Intel Pentium 4 processor-M within a mere 2-slot wide space.
