MPL has added to its PIP product family a Pentium M 1,8 GHz solution with 2 MB internal L2 cache.
The PIP products can be operated as standard PCs but according to the manufacturer, they are very different from consumer PCs and industrial PCs (IPCs) which are generally based on the 'Intel Reference design', a design for commercial PCs.
The PIP product differentiation includes key issues like the PCB design and construction, EMI/RFI protection on-board and within the housing, the selection of long-term available components as well as features said to be unique in this industry, such as on-board soldered ECC RAM. Additionally a socket is available where the ECC memory can be expanded. The CPU is soldered directly on-board and not with the use of a CPU socket, as in most IPCs.
In addition to the typical PC interfaces, the solution offers special features like FireWire, USB 2.0, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and four serial ports. Also available is a powerful 3D graphics engine with a DVI-I connector, and dual panel support can be added. The PIP11 is ready for any mass storage devices including two SATA ports. Within the package, the solution can be expanded with audio, CAN, digital and analog I/Os, UPS, WLAN or galvanic isolation.
There are several housings (IP51 and IP67) available in different colours. The solution is expandable over its internal expansion PC/104-Plus bus or via PMC and/or PCI, allowing addition of any required additional functionality, even for single order quantities. Thanks to the specially tailored design, the PIP family can be operated in housings without any openings; even IP67 housings can be offered without the need for heat-pipes or fans.
The thermal design power (TDP) of the PIP11 solution is such that it can be operated with maximum CPU load at the rated temperature (-20°C to +60°C ambient temperature) without CPU de-rating. Fanless, extended-temperature PIP11 solutions are also available.
The PIP11 can be powered with a single low power consumption power supply between 8 and 28 V d.c. (optional up to 48 V).
The product is well suited for many applications such as hospitals, defence, automation and mobile.
