Pico-ITX board integrates power supply

15 October 2008 Computer/Embedded Technology

The new EPIA P700 Pico-ITX board from VIA Technologies couples advanced features within a streamlined, compact footprint designed for low profile systems, with extended I/O port options through two companion boards.

Now featuring native S-ATA II support, Gigabit LAN, and support for GPIO, SM bus and LPC devices, the 10 cm x 7,2 cm board is based on the VIA VX700 unified digital media IGP chipset and is powered by a 1 GHz VIA C7 or fanless 500 MHz Eden ULV processor. An integrated power adapter coupled with the 5 V S-ATA power cable negates the need for a separate power daughterboard, saving space for ultra compact systems.

Linear onboard pin-header placement means developers can use a single cable to connect various I/O devices in a streamlined way that reduces cable clutter. Flexible battery placement is also geared towards improved miniaturisation.

Two companion boards make light work of design implementation and product testing. The P700-A board features an RJ45 port, a VGA port and a COM port, while the P700-B sports four USB ports and three audio jacks for multichannel surround sound.

The P700 supports up to 1 GB of DDR2 system memory. The VX700 digital media IGP chipset boasts 2D/3D AGP graphics and video decoding acceleration for WMV and MPEG-2/4 video through the VIA UniChrome Pro II IGP graphics core. A high definition codec offers eight channel audio and DTS multichannel digital surround sound for a high fidelity experience.
