Diamond Systems recently premiered its Hercules III, a rugged EBX single board computer (SBC) based on the Intel Atom E680T CPU running at 1,6 GHz, and featuring 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, six serial ports and five USB 2.0 ports.
Hercules III is the newest member of Diamond’s 2-in-1 SBC products, combining a standard CPU board’s features with enhanced data acquisition on a single board. Its power-efficient design leverages Intel’s Queensbay silicon platform, consisting of the Atom E680T (Tunnel Creek) processor and chipset (Topcliff). The board supports 1 GB or 2 GB of onboard SDRAM and provides high-resolution LVDS and VGA graphics interfaces.
Additional I/O ports include SATA, CANbus, USB, serial, digital I/O and Gigabit Ethernet. Flexible system expansion is based on stackable PC/104-Plus (ISA + PCI) modules. mSATA, PCIe MiniCard and GPS modem sockets are provided for optional onboard storage and I/O. Hercules III also provides a wide-voltage power supply, accepting 7-40 V d.c. input and producing 35 W of available power for add-on boards or devices.
Integrated data acquisition circuitry includes 32 analog inputs with 16-bit A/D and 250 kHz maximum sample rate, four 12-bit analog outputs, 40 digital I/O lines and two counter/timers. It uses an enhanced 2048-sample FIFO with programmable threshold for optimum flexibility and data reliability.
The analog circuitry utilises Diamond Systems’ Universal Driver software with auto-calibration technology to calibrate A/D and D/A circuits. This provides analog I/O performance with the maximum possible accuracy over the full operating temperature range of the product.
Hercules III’s rugged features include a wide temperature operating range of -40°C to +85°C, plus dedicated locations on the PCB to replace configuration jumpers with 0-ohm resistors for resistance to shock and vibration. Conformal coating is also available as an added cost option.
Hercules III is mechanically and functionally backward compatible with Diamond’s Hercules II SBC, while offering almost three times the performance, lower power consumption and upgraded features.
