ISIS and ISIS XL PC/104+ Modules

Atom PC/104 Module

The ISIS and ISIS XL PC/104 modules from Eurotech provide all the benefits of Intel's new Atom architecture in a PC/104+ form factor, consisting of a processor module and carrier board.

Using Intel's Hi-K 45nm technology, the Intel® AtomTM Z5xx series processor delivers the benefits of Intel architecture in a robust, ultra-small package with exceptional performance-per-watt. The processor is matched with an Intel® System Controller Hub US15W (SCH US15W) which is a highly integrated device combining a graphics memory controller and an I/O controller.

The ISIS and ISIS XL offer high-performance x86-compatibility in a fanless design that requires only a fraction of the power previously needed for comparable systems. A full range of on board peripherals are provided including 8 x USB 2.0 ports, VGA, LVDS, HD-Audio, RS232/422/485, Ethernet, GPIO and IDE. Expansion requirements are well covered by a combination of PC/104 (ISA), PC/104+ (PCI) and PCI Express Mini Card, so interfacing to real-world I/O or the latest wireless technology is easy. Requiring less than 5W of power and running at up to 1.3GHz for the industrial-grade ISIS XL and up to 1.6GHZ for the commercial-grade ISIS, both modules have all the functionality and connectivity previously associated with much larger and more power-hungry systems.

The ISIS and ISIS XL come with up to 1GB of DDR2 RAM and 4GB of soldered-down Flash for security and durability. Further solid-state Flash expansion is available via an SDIO socket.

ISIS and ISIS XL are compatible with all major desktop operating systems, and are also available with pre-installed, ready to run, embedded operating systems including Windows® XP, XP Embedded and Wind River Linux3.0.

Having all this performance in such a small package is a truly compelling offering that makes the ISIS and ISIS XL ideally suited to applications such as infotainment, interactive kiosks, in-vehicle systems where mains power is not readily available, HMI, medical, mobile access routers and industrial control.
