There are many OEM’s who, being specialists in their own technology, search for a processor engine which both avoids reinventing the wheel whilst providing sufficient flexibility to simply embed within their own application specific board design.
Addressing this issue two new products from the ICOP “DIP” stable (45mm x 70mm footprint, 23g weight) have just been launched, specifically targeted to be the computing kernel within an OEM design.
The VDX-DIP-PCI provides a passively cooled 800MHz CPU with 256/512MB system memory, 4MB SPI on board flash which is expandable off board.
Its fully featured I/O comprises, a 10/100 LAN port and an enhanced IDE port (UDMA),
4 off USB (2.0) ports, 5 off RS232 ports, 2 off 16bit GPIO ports and finally a PS/2 keyboard & mouse port.
Additionally a 24-32 channel PWM port and DOS, Linux & Windows (CE & XP) example support material is provided for polled or interrupt driven control of analogue interfaces.
Two software programmable (30.5u to 512 seconds) watchdog timers provide a flexible restart mechanism when things go wrong and a battery backed real time clock is simple yet effective method of event time tagging.
The VDX-DIP-PCI consumes a mere 380 mA from a 5VDC supply and has a -20°C to + 70°C operating temperature range(optionally -40°C to + 85°C)
The VDX-DIP-ISA is similarly featured but provides the relative simplicity of ISA bus interface signals and both products have development platforms to aid the engineer during motherboard/application code development.
The modules are available from just £75 each*. To view the complete specifications please visit the relevant product pages on our website - VDX-DIP-ISA / VDX-DIP-PCI
