ETX 3.0 COM for harsh environments

14 October 2009 Computer/Embedded Technology

Diamond Systems has launched an ETX 3.0 compliant computer-on-module (COM) based on Intel’s low-power, high-performance Atom N270 processor.

Rated for operation over the -20°C to +70°C temperature range, the ETX-N270 is aimed at defence, transportation, energy management, industrial automation and medical applications.

Within a compact 114 x 95 mm footprint, the computer integrates a 1,6 GHz Atom processor, up to 2 GB of high-speed DDR2 system DRAM, and a complete set of PC-compatible system controllers and interfaces. The module’s high-resolution display controller supports analog and LVDS-interfaced CRTs and LCDs and also provides a TV output option. The extensive set of I/O interfaces also includes one x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, one x IDE interface (supports two drives), two x SATA interfaces (support one drive each), four x USB 2.0 ports, two x serial ports, AC’97 audio (mic in, line in/out), PS/2 keyboard/mouse support (USB keyboard mouse also supported) and one x parallel port (shared with floppy interface).

The ETX-N270 is intended to be used as a macrocomponent, plugged into system baseboards containing application-specific circuitry, interface buffering, I/O connectors and other required functions and components. The module’s inclusion of both 32-bit PCI and 16-bit ISA expansion buses on its ETX 3.0-compliant interface maximises the ease and flexibility of system development. Supported operating systems currently include Windows XP and Linux 2.6, with support for additional OSs and RTOSs available on request.
