ITOX Introduces Long-Life COM Express Module
ITOX, a leading provider of embedded x86 products, announced introduction of a long-life COM Express solution supporting Intel(R) dual-core processors. The company's new G5C900-B-G COM Express module utilizes the Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express chipset supported under Intel's Embedded Architecture program, and accepts a wide performance-range of Intel mPGA 479 packaged processors. This includes the Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor featuring dual-core architecture, Intel(R) Core(TM) Solo processor, Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor and Intel(R) Celeron(R) M ULV processor.
The G5C900-B-G module conforms to PICMG COM Express Basic, Type 2 specifications and implements the latest interface technologies using serial differential-signaling on an extremely compact footprint of 3.75" x 4.9". The full-performance features of the G5C900-B-G COM Express module are available when mated with an ITOX COM630-B-G development board, or custom-designed PICMG compliant carrier board.
"COM Express solutions help reduce time-to-market for the manufacturer and at the same time cut project costs," said Robert Liao, vice president, ITOX Applied Computing. "With development and support of the core processing system off-loaded to the board manufacturer, design engineers can stay focused on providing a broader range of product features. ITOX is committed to manufacturing and supporting the G5C900-B-G and COM630-B-G COM Express products for a minimum of three to five years, under our Long-Life Availability program. Designers will be able to quickly transistion to new processor and chipset technologies in their product lines, by merely upgrading the plug-compatible COM Express module."
Optimized for the Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor featuring dual-core architecture, the G5C900-B-G COM Express module retains full-compatibility with the Intel(R) Celeron M processor. Performance features include up to 2GB of DDR2 533MHz or 667MHz memory, onboard PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet controller and Intel GMA 950 graphics. An mPGA 479 socket provides support for specified Intel processors with 667MHz, 533MHz and 400MHz system bus speed.
