The Intel® Atom™ platform is the new generation mobile platform from Intel. Customers will benefit from a new range of smart ultra compact devices and applications will benefit from a super compact chip size with remarkable low power consumption. Advantech SOM-6760, designed with Intel® Atom™ processor Z500 series, takes advantage of all the benefits, which performs the same functions as traditional COM-Express modules but with a smaller board size of only 95mm x 95mm. And Advantech’s new SOM-6760 development kit enables embedded developers to reach more mobile and portable applications.
Small Yet Compatible
SOM-6760 will be Advantech's first COM board using the new Intel Atom platform. The small 95 mm x 95 mm small board size makes it more suitable for portable devices. The pindefinitions of SOM-6760 are the same as a standard COM-Express board and can work directly with existing carrier boards, providing a seamless upgrade path for those customers who are considering moving to the new Atom platform
SOM-6760 Specifications
The Intel Atom Z500 series processor is not only a fraction of the size, the thermal design and 45 nm manufacturing process uses 10X less power (under 10W total) yet still provides great performance. SOM-6760 supports DDR2 memory up to 1GB, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 8 USB 2.0 ports and PCIe interface, and the integrated graphic engine supports CRT and 24-bit LCD display modes. The target OS platform will be Windows XP embedded and Vista. SOM-6760 will ship with Advantech’s SUSI API software to help customers implement all the necessary functions. SOM-6760 will be available at 2008 Q2.
Benefits
• 10X less power, 1/7 chip size
• Longer Battery Life
• Smaller Applications and Devices
Advantech COM (Computer On Module) series is backwardly compatible with existing hardware and software systems. They are fully scalable for upgrades or changing application needs and feature long life support so important to embedded developers. Advantech's own SUSI (Secure and Unified Smart Interface) API library speeds software development, and global logistics and support streamline the product developmentprocess.
To help customers reduce the time and effort involved with designing new carrier boards, Advantech also provides COM Design Support Services sthat handle the complexities of technical research and greatly minimize the development risk associated with carrier boards.
