Original Press Release:
Advantech's New SOM-5780 SOM-Express CPU Module Speeds Time to Market
Irvine, CA, April 27, 2006 - Advantech introduces its newest product line-SOM-Express. SOM-5780 is an embedded COM Express Type 2 CPU module that fully complies with the PICMG COM Express standard. The new CPU module has an onboard Intel® Pentium® M processor and Intel® 915GM/ICH6-M chipset which supports faster PCI Express and SATA interfaces. The SOM Express modular design concept, on customers' own application-specific baseboard delivers the highest performance available, safeguards investment with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and meets current and future demand from customers.
"The SOM-Express series expands upon Advantech's existing solutions by giving customers innovation for their current and future embedded applications. Customers not only want the newest technology like PCI Express, but need their current applications supported equally as well," said Jeff Chen, Advantech Chief Technology Officer. Following the continued broad adoption of PCI Express in the consumer desktop market, the modular, high bandwidth, low pin count connector is a natural fit for embedded applications requiring higher bandwidth like communications and applications in retail, medical and military markets.
In a basic form factor of 95mm x 125mm, the SOM-5780 provides a scalable high performance and easy to integrate solution for customers' applications by utilizing a plug-in CPU module on an application-specific customer solution board. The SOM-5780 with advanced I/O capacity incorporates serial differential signaling technologies such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, LVDS and serial DVO interfaces. SOM-5780FL offers design partners more choices for their own applications needing higher computing speeds while maintaining a compact form factor.
