Press Release Summary:




With AMD S1 CPU socket on board, SOM-5781 provides flexible CPU support options from 1 GHz Sempron 2100+ to 2.1 GHz Turion 64 TL-62 with dual core engine. Application reliablility is maintained through Smart and Secure utility, which dynamically adjusts fan speed to regulate CPU temperature. In addition to AMD M690E integrated chipset, ATI graphic engine, and various I/O, module supports dual-channel LVDS up to 48-/24-bit TFT panel, DVI, and PCIe x8 for external graphic cards.



Original Press Release:



Advantech's SOM-5781 COM-Express Module



"A Smart and Powerful Solution"

Irvine, CA, Nov. 20, 2008 - The new COM Express module is ready to go. SOM-5781 will alter perceptions about how to integrate COM Express products. With the high speed AMD Turion CPU with integrated ATI graphic engine and chipset, customers no longer have to choose between high performance and power consumption. SOM-5781 also works smart to maintain the reliability of your application through our "Smart & Secure" utility feature.

Smart and Secure
SOM-5781 has an onboard chip which will dynamically adjust the fan speed to regulate the CPU temperature. Because the CPU fan runs at high speed only when the system is under high loading, power consumption and noise created by the fan can be drastically reduced. Using Advantech's "SUSI" API tool, a "reduce CPU speed" command can be immediately executed to prevent a system crash when SOM-5781 detects an abnormal status from the CPU fan. At the same time, an alarm message can also be issued to the system administrator via Ethernet.

Excellent Graphic and CPU Performance
SOM-5781 uses the AMD M690E integrated chipset with high performance ATI graphic engine, and an additional external 128 MB graphic memory (Side Port) can be added on SOM-5781 for an extra 20% graphic performance boost. SOM-5781 also supports 48 / 24bit LVDS TFT LCD panels, DVI and PCIe x8 for external graphic cards, and it provides several different kinds of multi-display configuration options for customer applications. With AMD S1 CPU socket on board, SOM-5781 provides flexible CPU support options for customers. From extreme low power consumption Sempron 2100+ 1 GHz at 8 watts, to Turion 64 TL-62 at 2.1 GHz with dual core engine.

Impressive I/O and Data Throughput
SOM-5781 also comes with impressive I/O capabilities that include: four PCIe x1 and one PCIe x 8 or 1 x DVI interface, 1 x GbE LAN, 4 x SATA, 1 x EIDE, 8 x USB 2.0 ports and High Definition audio. SOM-5781 joins the Advantech COM product family to offer a wider choice for application-specific solutions that demand high computing speeds and compact modular designs. SOM-5781 will be available soon; please contact your local sales.
