•MiniModule Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules, compliant with
PC/104 and PC/104-Plus standard, can be used with Ampro’s CoreModule and LittleBoard single
board computers to configure embedded system solutions. Ampro's highly reliable MiniModule
products currently support USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), CRT and flat panel display
interfaces, Ethernet, PC Card expansion, analog/data acquisition, FPGA, additional
RS232/RS485 serial ports, and general-purpose I/O (GPIO).
•EnCore Family – These high-performance, compact, modular CPU solutions use various
processor technologies including Intel x86, MIPS, and PowerPC architectures to plug into your
custom logic board. Each EnCore module provides standard peripherals, including IDE, floppy
drive interface, PCI bus, serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT
Ethernet, and USB ports. Some EnCore modules also provide video and AC97 sound.
Depending on the model, EnCore modules can hold between 16MB and 512MB of SODIMM
SDRAM memory.
