Rugged embedded range gets more cost-effective member

9 February 2005 Computer/Embedded Technology

Ampro has introduced the ETX 550 Computer-on-Module (COM) as a lower cost alternative to the Intel CPU-based Ampro ETX 700. OEMs get a choice of 300 MHz Via Eden ESP 3000, 533 MHz Eden ESP 5000, or 1 GHz Eden ESP 10000 processors.

The ETX 550 has the same capabilities as Ampro's other rugged products including 2,4 mm thick PCB for rigidity, extended temperature operation from -40 to +85°C, conformal coating option for moist and corrosive environments, resistance to shock and vibration and Ampro's embedded BIOS extensions. Equally unique to Ampro ETX products is the choice of short or tall module connectors, which allows baseboard components to be placed under the module without violating connector specifications.

The Ampro ETX 550 module includes a 10/100BaseT Ethernet controller and an advanced AGP 4X video controller with CRT and flat panel support through the standard baseboard LVDS interfaces. Other onboard controllers provide AC97 sound, four x USB, two x full modem TTL serial ports (RS232/422/485 transceivers are added on the baseboard) and all standard PC architecture elements. Full PCI and ISA expansion capability are provided to the baseboard.
