Pentium/Celeron M SBC with new MIO interface

February 2007 Industrial Computer Hardware

Advantech's PCM-9380 and PCM-9386 are 3,5" embedded single board computers (SBC) with Intel Pentium/Celeron M processors. The boards are based on Intel 855GME and Intel 852GM chipsets. Combined with Advantech's new Module I/O (MIO) interface, they solve the need for powerful and flexible 3,5" SBCs that require high resistance to vibration yet still have plenty of expansion possibilities. Advantech designed the open-pin definition MIO to be simple and versatile. It integrates the most popular bus signals together into a high-density 160-pin connector, thereby offering expansion options.

The PCM-9380 is based on the powerful 2 GHz low power Intel Pentium M processor and uses Intel's 855GME and IC4H chipset. This chipset is specifically designed for embedded computing and delivers 400 MHz Front Side Bus speed and an optimised integrated graphics solution with a 32-bit 3D core.

The PCM-9386 uses a Celeron M 600 MHz CPU with 852 GM chipset. The low voltage Celeron M 600 MHz processor is a fanless solution, specially designed for embedded applications. PCM-9380/86 support DDR memory up to 1 GB with ECC for improved reliability and data integrity. Other onboard features include VGA/LCD/LVDS connectors for dual independent displays and 1000Base-T Ethernet for Gigabit networking.

Advantech is represented locally by ProMicro.
