The Hercules II from Diamond Systems is a high performance, EBX form factor single board computer (SBC) integrating a Pentium III-level CPU with high-accuracy data acquisition circuitry and a variable voltage DC/DC power supply on a single board.
Hercules II is built around an 800 MHz low power Via Mark CPU and up to 512 MB DRAM with a broad set of system I/O, including Ethernet, four RS232 ports (two with RS422/485 capability), four USB 1.1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, dual IDE controllers, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, an advanced 2D/3D video controller supporting both CRT and LVDS flat panel displays and AC'97 sound with amplified speaker output.
The data acquisition section has 32 16-bit analog inputs with a 250 kHz sample rate, backed by a 2K-sample FIFO, along with four 12-bit D/A channels. Auto-calibration on both A/D and D/A ensures maximum accuracy over time and temperature. Also included are forty digital I/O lines with programmable direction as well as two counters/timers for A/D sample rate control, pulse counting, frequency generation or other applications.
The 5 to 28 V d.c./d.c. power supply enables the Hercules II to be used in a wide range of applications without requiring a separate add-on power module. The SBC features soldered DRAM for added ruggedness, optional hardwired jumpers for increased resistance to shock and vibration and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without a fan. Conformal coating is available as an option.
Diamond Systems' Universal Driver Software for Linux, Windows 2000/XP/CE, DOS, QNX and VxWorks is included. The new Hercules II retains all the I/O from the original Hercules, including original connector types, locations and pin definitions, making migration simple.
