Kontron led the charge to revise standards for Computer-On-Modules and introduces at the Embedded World 2007 the processing power of the Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor accessible on a 100 percent pin-to-pin compatible ETX 3.0 module. Built around the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the Kontron ETX-CD is the high-end COM for embedded designs requiring PCI, ISA, SATA and USB 2.0 as well as all standard ETX interfaces.

The new Kontron ETX-CD module integrates the low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor L7400 (2x 1.5 GHz, 4MB L2 cache, TDP 17W) and the mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express chipset. Key features of this new ETX 3.0 low power consumption module include:

  • Support for up to 2GB DDR2 S0DIMM
  • 2x SerialATA for high-speed drives
  • 4x USB 2.0 for the integration of fast peripherals
  • Graphics (integrated 950GMA), audio and more

Kontron ETX-CD Computer-On-ModulesKontron anticipates having sample Kontron ETX-CD modules with the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor available for evaluation in Q2 2007. Board support packages (BSPs) for current operating systems such as Windows XP Embedded and Linux will be available for download on Kontron's website in the near future.

Kontron is developing additional modules for high-performance processors from Intel(R), AMD(R) and VIA(R) which will further expand the array of offerings of Kontron ETX 3.0 modules.
