CMX158886 RTD Embedded Technologies CPU Module

The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules represents high-performance embedded computing solutions. They have been manufactured with 400 MHz source-synchronous Front Side Bus (FSB), on-die 2 MB (PX) or 512kB (CX) L2 cache, and data pre-fetch logic. They use 333MHz DDR-SDRAM controllers that can support up to 2.7 G-Bytes per second of memory bandwidth. All memory chips are soldered directly onto the board. The Pentium-M (PX) processor features Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology, which enables real-time dynamic switching between multiple voltage and frequency points. This results in optimal performance without compromising low power.

The video interface is provided by an Analog SVGA output and an LVDS flat panel output. The two outputs are independent, and can display separate images and display timings. Maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536.

High-speed peripheral connections include USB 2.0, with up to 480 Mb/sec data throughput. An ATA-100/66/33 IDE controller provides a fast connection to the hard drive. Network connectivity is provided by an integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller. Other features include two RS-232/422/485 COM ports, Parallel Port, and AC97 audio.

The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules include additional advanced features for maximum flexibility. These include an ATA/IDE Disk Chip socket that allows a true IDE drive to be attached to the board, either socketed or soldered. A MultiPort can be configured as a standard EPP/ECP parallel port, a floppy drive port, or an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO) port. The DDR-SDRAM controller on selected models uses Error-Correcting-Codes (ECC) to correct single bit memory errors, and detect two-bit memory errors, providing for a more robust memory system. SDRAM is soldered directly to the board for high vibration resistance. The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules have also been manufactured in a rugged, fanless IDAN enclosure.

The Intel Thermal Monitor is a feature on the RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules that automatically initiates a SpeedStep transition or throttles the CPU when the CPU exceeds its thermal limit. The maximum temperature of the processor is defined as the temperature that the Thermal Monitor is activated. The thermal limit and duty cycle of the Thermal Monitor cannot be modified.

The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules have been manufactured with a 1.4 GHz Pentium-M processor, or a 1.0 GHz Celeron-M processor and 512 or 1024 MB of DDR SDRAM. The The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules have also been manufactured as part of an Intelligent DataAcquisition Node (IDAN) building block, which consists of the cpuModule and a milled aluminum IDAN frame. The IDAN building block can be used in just about any combination with other IDAN building blocks to create a simple but rugged PC/104 stack. The RTD Embedded Technologies CMX158886 Series CPU Modules can also be manufactured as part of a custom-built RTD Embedded Technologies HiDAN or HiDANplus High Reliability Intelligent Data Acquisition Node.
