The APU incorporates the new low-power, x86 CPU based on the “Bobcat” core with a world-class DirectX® 11-capable GPU and parallel processing engine on a single piece of silicon. The ECM-A50M comes with AMD T40N 1.0GHz processor by default but is also available with AMD T56N 1.6GHz processor. It provides the standard I/O features 7 x USB 2.0, 2 x COM (one of them is switchable to RS232/422/485), 16 GPIOs, 2 x SATA, HD Audio, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, one CFast Socket and it is expandable via mini PCI-Express. A wide variety of display I/O configurations are supported, including HDMI, dual-channel 24-bit LVDS, VGA and dual display configurations. An onboard touch-controller is optionally available. The 3.5” board has one SODIMM socket onboard which supports up to 4 GB DDR3 1066 SDRAM. Like Avalue’s (Partner of DATA MODUL AG) other embedded products, the new ECM-A50M provides a long-term availability of 5 – 7 years with a strict revision control.
DATA MODUL also offers this highly integrated module with a wide range of different TFT Displays (AUO, Sharp, CMO,…) inclusive inverters, tested cables and adapted Power-ON/OFF timing. The use of a time intensive display adjustment therefore becomes redundant.
