SAN DIEGO, 5 March 2012. ADL Embedded Solutions Inc. in San Diego is introducing the ADLD2700PC rugged PC/104 Express (PCIe/104)single-board computer for portable applications in extended-temperatures and other kinds of harsh environments, including military embedded systems. The embedded computing module has the Intel Atom D2700 microprocessor, integrated graphics, and memory controller functions.
The processor interfaces to the ICH9M-E, which also is on the ADLD25PC, but provides PCIe/104 I/O bandwidth of 2.5 gigatransfers per second. The ADLD2700PC has an Intel rated thermal design power (TDP) maximum of 10 Watts, increased clock speed, and enhanced graphics including dual-channel video capability at full 1080 pixels with full HD-Decode (MPEG2, VC1, AVC, H.264) and Blu-ray 2.0 support, company officials say.
The CPU board also has a discrete 16-bit digital I/O port and individual VGA, LVDS, DisplayPort. and HDMI/DVI ports. The computer board also has two RS232 COM ports, 2x SATA with RAID support, and 9x USB 2.0, with an additional two SATA 3G and two USB 2.0 ports available on the down-stacking Type 2 PCIe/104 connector.
Options can expand the ADLD2700PC adding the PCIe mini-card socket which can be used for Wi-Fi, DDC-1553, bootable flash, Ethernet, or other functions.
