Original Press Release:
Advantech Announces New Intel® Atom(TM) Low Power N450 Single/ D510 Dual Core 3.5" SBC
Milpitas, CA, - Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services provider, announces the arrival of a new 3.5" SBC using the latest Intel® Atom(TM) N450 1.66 GHz and the dual core D510 1.66 GHz processors with ICH8M chipset. The Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating of the Intel Atom N450 single core architecture is only 5.5 Watts, and the Intel Atom D510 dual core processor only 13 Watts, enabling further power reductions, smaller systems, and performance improvements.
Dual Intel® Giga LAN and Rich I/O
The PCM-9362 features a rich I/O connectivity with two Intel Giga LANs (Intel 82567V, Intel 82583V), six USB 2.0, four COM ports, two SATAII interfaces, CF socket, and miniPCIe expansion. Also, PCM-9362 supports single 5V or single 12V power inputs to fulfill different power requirements. PCM-9362 is a 3.5" form factor (146 x 102 mm), which is one of the most popular embedded form factors-the same size as a 3.5" floppy drive bay.
Compact Design Makes for Easy System Integration
PCM-9362 was designed to be compact, and low profile. The height, including fanless heatsink on the CPU, is only around 25mm, and the total height, including low-profile cooler on D510 dual core processor, is around 30mm, making it suitable for a 1U chassis design. Advantech also provides an optional heat spreader thermal solution that facilitates compact chassis designs with good thermal test results.
H/W Decode Support with 2D/3D Graphic Engine
Because the new processors are manufactured on 45nm process technology, both graphics and memory controller are directly on the same chip. The integrated 2D/3D graphics engine supports DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) 3.0, and Intel® Gen 3.5 and DirectX 9 compliant Pixel Shader 2.0. It also supports MPEG2 hardware decoding, and multiple dual independent display: 18-bit LVDS and CRT.
Software Considerations
Advantech also provides an API suite called SUSI, which stands for Secure & Unified Smart Interface, andwhich includes: GPIO, I2C, SMBus, watchdog, H/W monitor, brightness on/off, CPU speed and system throttling utilities. SUSI makes it quicker and easier for users to integrate and configure their hardware and applications.
Features:
PCM-9362 supports up to 2GB of DDR2 667 memory, and comes with full I/O functions:
1. Dual Gigabit LAN (Intel 82567V and Intel 82583V)
2. HD audio interface
3. Two SATAII ports
4. Four COMs (three RS232, one RS232/422/485)
5. Six USB 2.0 ports
6. PS2 KB/MS
7. LPT
8. 8-bit GPIO
9. Watchdog timer
10. CF card
11. Mini-PCIe expansion
Embedded OS, Embedded Software API and Utility
PCM-9362 supports Windows 7/ XP/ XPe/ Windows CE 6.0 and QNX operating systems. PCM-9362 is suitable for many kinds of general purpose applications such as: POS/ KIOSK, medical, factory automation, transportation, entry-level gaming machines, and security and surveillance, amongst others.
