ETX module offers seven-year production support

Targeting high performance applications in medical imaging, gaming, test, and industrial automation, ADLINK Technology recently announced the ETX-AT single board computer as the newest member of its Computer-on-Module (COM) family. Measuring 3.7 x 4.9 inches, the module is based on the ETX (Embedded Technology eXtended) 3.02 form factor standard maintained by the ETX Industrial Group. A very low power consumption of below 10 watts makes the ETX-AT suited for fanless or deeply embedded systems. The module features the 45nm Intel Atom Processor N270 with 512 kByte L2 cache and supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 memory on a single SODIMM. The Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset integrates an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 that provides CRT, TV-out (standard and high definition) and has additional support for single or dual channel low voltage differential signaling. The module also incorporates an Intel based 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port, provides two parallel ATA channels, a dual-port SATA controller, 4 USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, one parallel port, one PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface and Intel high definition audio. The ETX-AT can be optionally equipped with a solid state drive soldered onto the module to provide up to 4 GB of IDE-based bootable Flash storage. The module comes with support packages for Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, Linux, and VxWorks. Single unit pricing for the ETX-AT starts at $300. The ETX-AT is a revision controlled product aimed at applications that require guaranteed long production life support.
