ETX computer on module for industrial automation and medical imaging introduced by ADLINK
TAIPEI, Taiwan, 21 Aug. 2012. ADLINK Technology Inc. in Taipei, Taiwan, is introducing the ETX-CV Computer on Module (COM) for embedded computing applications in industrial automation, industrial control, test & measurement, and medical diagnostics and imaging.
The board is for generic systems but also for systems that require a full set of graphics features.
The board is based on the latest dual-core 32-nanometer process Intel Atom Processor and NM10 Express Chipset. The ETX-CV aims at replacing current entry level and older high performance ETX modules (up to Intel Core Duo Processor L2400). Power consumption ranges between 6 and 12 Watts.
The module comes with integrated support for high VGA to 1,920-by-1,200-pixel resolution (WUXGA), single/dual channel 18/24-bit LVDS, and onboard DisplayPort connector. The ETX-CV provides two additional onboard SATA connectors while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier ETX standards.
Operating system support includes Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows 7, WinCE, and Linux. The dual-core Intel Atom Processor N2000 and D2000 Series on the ETX-CV replaces the previous generation Intel Atom processors N4xx/N5xx.
Although much smaller in size, Intel Atom processors share the same architecture as Intel Core2 Duo processors and additionally support Hyper Threading Technology, allowing more than one code thread to be executed at the same time on one core.
The ETX-CV's thermal design and powerful CPU core allow it to provide the same or even better performance than earlier generation modules at more modest power consumption.
