Advantech Launches The Smallest PCI-104 Pentium® M Solution



Taipei, Taiwan, March 24, 2005 - Advantech Co. Ltd., the leading embedded ePlatform provider releases its smallest PCI-104 Pentium® M embedded platform yet. PCM-3380 gives developers the opportunity to design small yet powerful solutions that combine the fast data throughput of PCI-104 with the low power fanless features of the Pentium M processor. PCI-104 enables faster data transfer compared to traditional ISA-based PC/104 modules, all in a small rugged form factor. PCM-3380 is designed with multiple I/O options that make it ideal for medical, military, transportation, and emergency services applications.

The introduction of the smallest PCI-104 Pentium M platform on the market makes it easier to develop advanced applications that require flexible I/O capability and power management. PCM-3380 provides as many features as boards twice the size with support for six high speed USB 2.0 and dual CRT/LVDS displays, making it practical to replace older, larger form factor boards. Low power fanless Pentium M processors are available from 1.1Ghz to 1.6Ghz and the Celeron M processor from 600Mhz. Both processors perfectly complement the Intel® 855GME (Centrino) chipset with integrated graphics and power saving features. Additional I/O includes 2 x COM ports and LAN. PCI-104's smart stacking design allows great versatility for expansion through integration into other form factors or by addition of extra modules such as Advantech's PCM-3620 with IEEE1394 & USB, PCM-3621 SATA, PCM-3116 miniPCI, and PCM-3115 2-slot PCMCIA modules. Applications include military command and control systems, medical MRI scanning and diagnostics, police in-vehicle video recording, and modern transportation systems which require high resistance to vibration.

PC/104 modules provide simple feature expansion that makes them ideal for embedded applications. A variety of PC/104 CPU and peripheral modules are available to meet the customer's particular requirements. These include PCMCIA, Ethernet, GPS, digital I/O, audio and video, and multiple COM port modules. PCM-3380 is powerful, flexible and versatile; it represents the smallest PCI-104 Pentium M solution on the embedded market today, and is available from the end of April 2005.
