This multi-functioned ETX CPU Module completes the product line of AAEON’s ETX CPU module series by being the first Intel® Atom™ N270 processor installed on a product in AAEON’s ETX form factor line. The ETX-945GSE comes with a memory slot for a 200-pin DDR II 400/533 SODIMM, so the lower power performance of the Atom™ processor can be enhanced with up to 2GB of system memory. Ethernet communication at 10/100Base-T is supported by the onboard Intel® EP82562ET chipset and system communication can be designed in using the ETX-945GSE’s support for one parallel port, two RS-232 serial ports and four USB 2.0 ports. This ETX module will also support two IDE storage devices on the carrier board as well as two SATA II devices that can connect directly to the module.
“The ETX-945GSE allows for versatile expansion through the support for four 32-bit PCI, 8-bit/ 16-bit ISA, SMBus and I2C buses. These will allow system integrators to expand their embedded systems without purchasing additional devices to enhance necessary functions. The Intel® 945GSE integrated display controller can be configured to support CRT/LCD, CRT/TV and LCD/TV with simultaneous and dual view displays. LCD support comes in the form of up to 24-bit LVDS, up to a resolution of 1600 x 1200. The ETX module also supports an SDVO connector on the carrier board to complete the picture of what the ETX-945GSE can offer in terms of high quality and performance in display support,” said Jonathan Lu, Product Manager of AAEON’s Embedded Computing Division. “The ETX-945GSE reveals advantages of faster time-to-market, lower cost of product development and the ease to embed a computer system into various vertical applications based on its compact size and flexibility,” added Jonathan.
The ETX-945GSE is designed to help system developers respond to the fast demands of the embedded markets effectively and efficiently. It’s compatibility with the ETX standard can increase and upgrade functions for your existing systems by offering not only a cost-effective solution, but also a high performance, stable product with a small power footprint that is featured with the Intel® Atom™ solution.
