ECHING, Germany, 26 Nov. 2010. Kontron in Eching, Germany, is introducing the MICROSPACE MSMST PCI Express PC/104single-board computer based on the Intel Atom E600C processor for military, transportation, energy, industrial automation, medical, and communications embedded computing applications.
The MICROSPACE MSMST's Intel Atom E600C processor pairs with an Altera Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in one package. Validated IP cores are available for CAN-bus, serial interfaces (SPI Master/UART) and PCI Express, I2C, and GPIO. Systems designers need the required IP core and corresponding high-speed mezzanine cards (HSMC) to carry out the interfaces. Kontron also offers design and production services with the revision controls, supply chain management, regulatory test services and industry-specific requirements, such as ITAR or ISO 13485 medical device manufacturing.
The MICROSPACE MSMST is equipped with the Intel Atom E600C processor series ranging as fast as 1.3 GHz with as much as 2 gigabytes onboard DRAM system memory. All components are validated for the extended temperature range from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The power-optimized Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (Intel GMA 600), 18/24 Bit LVDS. and SDVO interface is integrated in the processor.
Video signals are carried out by optional media boards for VGA or DVI. Optional SPDIF (out) and two analog stereo connections for line-out and mic-in take care of the high-definition audio signals. Storage media can be connected by 2x SATA300. 2-by-USB 2.0 and an optional 1x Gigabit LAN are also available. Kontron offers software support for Windows, Linux, VxWorks and others on request.
