About This Manual

LittleBoard Family – These high-performance, highly integrated single-board computers use the EBX form factor (5.75x8.00 inches), and are available with Pentium III and Celeron processors. The EBX-compliant Little Board single-board computers offer functions equivalent to a complete laptop or desktop PC system, plus several expansion cards. Built-in extras to meet the critical requirements of embedded applications include onboard solid state disk capability, watchdog timer, smart power monitor, and Ampro embedded BIOS extensions.

MiniModule Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules compliant with PC/104 and PC/104-Plus standards can be used with Ampro CoreModule, LittleBoard, and ReadyBoard single-board computers to configure embedded system solutions. Ampro's highly reliable MiniModule products currently support USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), Ethernet, PC Card expansion, analog/data acquisition, FPGA, additional RS232/RS485 serial ports, and general-purpose I/O (GPIO).

ETX Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions use various x86 processors in an ETX Revision 2.6 form factor to plug into your custom baseboard. Each ETX module provides standard peripherals, including dual Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, ISA bus, serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB ports, Video, and AC’97 sound. ETX modules support up to 512MB or more of SODIMM DRAM. Optional –40° C to +85° C operation, along with a 50% thicker PCB are available to meet your rugged application requirements.

EnCore Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions use various processor technologies including x86, MIPS , and PowerPC architectures to plug into your custom baseboard. Each EnCore module provides standard peripherals, including Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 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 support up to 256MB or 512MB of SODIMM DRAM. Extended temperature support up to +85° C is available.
