The VES-300 is built around the Intel ATOM N270, which consumes less power and has a small thermal footprint, while still offering solid 1.6GHz of processing power. The motherboard is designed to be integrated in a fanless system, relying only on a passive CPU heatsink for cooling. It can operate between 0oC and 60oC.
This SBC is designed for vibrant displays with integrated graphics via Intel 945GSE. The VES-300 supports VGA and LVDS outputs. On the VES-300 is a SDVO LVDS transmitter, which enables the LVDS output to operate at 24 bits, rather than 18. This higher bandwidth enables the VES-300 to display more colors for larger, more vibrant displays.
As stated above there are a variety of ports and connectors to satisfy even the most complex of deployment scenarios. There are 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 COM ports. Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports are controlled via a Realtek RTL8111C. There is a Mic-in and Line-out for audio applications.
Tacked on this 3.5” board is one SO-DIMM slot capable of holding a maximum of 2GB of RAM, a CompactFlash Socket and a SATA port for a hard drive or solid state drive.
The VES-300 supports Linux kernel 2.4.16 or above, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows 2000, XP Embedded and CE Embedded 6.0 operating systems.
