3U cPCI processor blades target military apps

Adlink Technology has released the latest members to its lineup of cPCI products. The cPCI-3600 series is based on the latest AMD Geode LX 800 at 0.9W processor and AMD Geode CS5536 companion device to offer an optimal power/performance ratio for military, automation and transportation applications.

The cPCI-3600 is designed to operate at a very low power consumption of less than 10W at full loading. With its optional soldered memory and CompactFlash slot the cPCI-3600 series allows for integration in rugged military applications where high vibration and adverse environments are common. The cPCI-3600 series also offers two 10/100 Ethernet ports and an onboard 2.5-inch hard drive for versatile automation and transportation applications that require reliable network connectivity and efficient remote management.

Designed in a dual-slot form factor, the cPCI-3600 series memory configuration options of 256Mbyte DDR 400MHz memory (soldered) and one SODIMM socket that supports up to 1Gbyte of RAM. The cPCI-3600 also provides two 10/100 Ethernet ports, an onboard 2.5-inch IDE HDD port, one CompactFlash socket, two USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, one parallel port (SPP/ECP/EPP), one PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface and an AC'97 audio interface. The cPCI-3600 also supports analog display resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 32bit at 85Hz.

The cPCI-3600 series is designed to be a cost-effective solution for simple implementation in a variety of military, automation and transportation applications to reduce time to market for system integrators. The cPCI-3600 series is a revision controlled product that guarantees long production life support and is RoHS compliant.

Samples of the cPCI-3600 series are currently available with production volumes beginning in Q1 2008.
