Small, mighty, and able to withstand extreme environmental conditions. This is how Ampro describes this member of its EBX product line: the Little Board 700. This is a good solution for OEMs who are looking for a rugged SBC that is economical, yet offers high performance and efficient power and heat usage, along with long-term availability.
The availability factor is crucial for OEMs in medical, military and regulated gaming markets who often face extensive qualification and regulatory procedures, says the company. They demand boards with long product lifecycles so that they do not have to go through a painful re-design or re-qualification process.
The board's low power dissipation is another big plus. The Low Voltage Pentium III processor with 512 KB cache at 933 MHz, offers reduced power dissipation compared to the previous-generation 850 MHz Socket 370 Pentium III processor. The power rating of 12,2 W is less than half of the 25,7 W rating of the Socket 370 Pentium III processor at 850 MHz. Offering fanless operation up to +70°C, extended temperature to +85°C, and conformal coating, the Little Board 700 allows OEMs to migrate to a high-performance single board computer without having to compromise the thermal design of their system.
This embedded single-board computer is full-featured with little board EBX form factor. It is available with a choice of Intel processors: The Low Voltage Pentium III processor with 512 KB cache at 933 MHz, the Celeron processor at 650 MHz, or the Celeron processor at 400 MHz. Application-ready, it supports popular operating systems including: Linux 2.4.18, VxWorks 2.5.5, QNX 6.2.1, and Windows CE.NET 4.1, 98se, 2000, ME, XP, XPe. Ampro's drivers are included in the Little Board 700 QuickStart Kits and Development Systems.
