DTI Introduces Ultra Efficient PICMG PCI/ISA Single Board Computer Based On The Intel® Pentium® M Processor



Offering outstanding performance at low power, the LBC-9116 features 1MB L2 cache, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and Ultra320 SCSI for thermally constrained communication and embedded computing applications.

April 14, 2003 - Diversified Technology's LBC-9116 PICMG 1.0 Rev. 2.2 compliant passive backplane SBC is based on the Intel® Pentium® M processor. It addresses thermally constrained, high performance, standard form factor applications in wireline and wireless datacom/telecom, security, industrial control & automation, instrumentation, medical diagnostic imaging, and COTS military/aerospace markets.

"The ultra efficient Intel Pentium M processor is an exciting, well received low power/high performance engine for the standard LBC-9116 SBC targeted at TEMs and NEMs, as well as embedded and custom rugged, military portable computer applications" said Dennis Aldridge, SVP of Marketing for DTI.

"The Intel Pentium M processor and Intel® E7501chipset combination delivers outstanding instruction execution per watt to enable faster execution of complex, compute-intensive applications" said Joe Jensen, general manager, Embedded Intel Architecture Division. "DTI's new design enables them to deliver a high performance, low power computing solution with dynamic power control for thermally constrained communications applications."

About the LBC-9116
The scaleable LBC-9116 features an Intel Pentium M processor at 1.10 to 1.60 GHz (~12W to 24.5W) with Advanced Power Management including Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology, dynamic frequency/voltage control, 1MB full L2 cache, the Intel E7501 chipset with power-optimized 400MHz front side (system) bus, and up to 4GB DDR200 low profile DIMMs, with full ECC support, on two sockets. Onboard are an integrated high performance graphics controller with concurrent, independent CRT and LVDS support, dual 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T gigabit Ethernet auto-negotiating controllers, PCI Ultra DMA/100 IDE interface, CRT or Flat Panel video controller as well as Universal Serial Bus (USB 1.1) ports, serial/parallel ports, and floppy interface. An Ultra320 SCSI Hub Link 2.0 (1GB/s) daughter card is optional.

The LBC-9116 supports onboard PCI and PCI-X (used by GbE) busses as well as an off-board 32-bit/33MHz or 64-bit/66MHz PCI buss. A PCI to ISA bridge supports ISA bus mastering with up to 20-slot drive capability. At only 1.48 inches wide, it is easily accommodated in 1U/2U platforms and 4U multi-segmented passive backplane chassis.

The AMI BIOS, in field upgradeable Flash ROM, supports peripheral enable/disable, serial/parallel port re-mapping/disable, and is PnP compliant. Other features include a hardware monitor (voltages, temperature, and fan), three-stage programmable watchdog timer, diagnostic LEDs, and a 2 year limited warranty.

Pricing and Availability
OEM pricing for the LBC-9116, excluding memory, starts at $1795 with a 1.3GHz Intel Pentium M processor. The 1.0GHz and 1.6GHz processors are on Intel's long life production schedule. Production shipments will begin in May.
