To address the growing market requirement for processor solutions that consume less power and dissipate less heat, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has announced the use of the Intel® Atom™ processor on two of its newest product introductions, the bCOM2-L8000 COM Express module and the mITX-945S-ED motherboard.

Incorporating the power-optimized CPU into the COM Express module and Mini-ITX motherboard family of products ensures a choice of products designed to meet lower power/less heat obligations, and that are ready to deploy in applications where small size, lightweight and portability are important criteria. Such applications are often battery-driven, or are reliant on passive cooling. However, along with the power and heat dissipation provisions, those same applications are unable to completely compromise their requirements in terms of I/O functionality, and the bCOM2-L8000 and mITX-945S-ED offer the optimum combination, with low power consumption but more I/O capability than competing low power solutions.

bCOM2-L8000

The bCOM2-L8000 is a COM Express basic, Type 2 COM Express module featuring Intel® Atom™ N270 soldered processor. The bCOM2-L8000 module consumes around 10W and provides an excellent choice for System Integrators with low-power, high performance embedded applications requirements. The Intel processor is soldered on the module to achieve higher reliability. In addition, this low power processor supports the bCOM2-L8000 in temperature critical applications.

With a SODIMM socket, the 2 GB of DDR2 memory can to be adjusted, on demand, to satisfy an application's needs. One Gigabit Ethernet port is routed to the COM Express connector, located on the baseboard. This port also supports transmissions of 10 and 100 Mbit/s. In addition eight USB 2.0 ports are routed to the COM Express connector. Expand the I/O functionality on the baseboard with the PCI bus (up to four devices) and three PCI Express x1 lanes.

The bCOM2-L8000 has two serial ATA Interfaces as well as an IDE interface for mass storage devices. Choose from the parallel-attached hard disk drives or the new serial ATA drives. For superior graphic performance, the bCOM2-L8000 features an integrated analog VGA, SDVO and LVDS interfaces with resolutions up to SXGA+.

All these functions position the bCOM2-L8000 in applications such as industrial, interactive and medical clients, physical security, aeronautics/military, gaming clients, mobile thin clients, industrial control PC / HMI, print imaging, digital signage and other market segments with the need for low power consumption.

The ATX form factor CCAR-L1000 complements the bCOM2-L8000 with a single x16 PCI Express slot, two x1 slots and four PCI 2.3 slots. Rear panel interfaces include mouse/keyboard, serial, Ethernet, USB, VGA and audio, while onboard support additionally includes a parallel interface, CD-in, S/PDIF in/out and IrDA.
