A standard LVDS output supports flat panel High-performance Video displays. An optional adapter converts the LVDS output to VGA. Graphics core supports MPEG-4 / H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding and decoding. Industry-standard system interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet with network boot capability, four USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, and Intel High-Definition Audio (HDA). A SATA 3 Gb/s Network interface supports high-capacity storage. Dual microSD sockets and a Mini PCIe socket with Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) with remote boot support. mSATA support provide flexible solid-state drive (SSD) options. The Mini PCIe socket also RAM accommodates plug-in Wi-Fi modems, GPS receivers, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, Firewire, Up to 2 GB soldered-on DDR2 RAM. and other mini cards. The Falcon supports an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for SATA applications that require enhanced hardware-level security functions. Supports SATA hard drives and mSATA flash storage options. Designed and tested for industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) operation, the rugged Falcon Mini PCIe Card Socket also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Soldered-on RAM and Supports Wi-Fi modems, GPS, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, latching SATA, Ethernet, power, and main I/O connectors provide additional ruggedization solid-state storage, and other plug-in devices. for use in extremely harsh environments. Heatsink or heat plate versions provide fanless heat dissipation. Falcon is manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 (modified) standards. For Device I/O extremely-high-reliability applications, IPC-A-610 Class 3 versions are available. Four serial ports, four USB ports, Intel High-Definition Audio. A wide input voltage range of 8 to 17 volts (12V typ.) simplifies system power supply Trusted Platform Module (optional) requirements. It is fully compatible with 12V automotive applications. On-board security option defends against attacks from unauthorized hardware and software. Falcon is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, and VxWorks. Product customization is available, even in low quantities. Options include a Trusted Platform Module, conformal coating, BGA underfill, IPC Class 3 assembly, BIOS / splash screen configuration, application specific testing, BOM revision locks, labeling, etc. VersaLogic Corporation •  12100 SW Tualatin Rd., Tualatin, OR 97062 •  (503) 747-2261 •  Info@VersaLogic.com •  www.VersaLogic.com Falcon Embedded Processing Unit Specifications Size Heat plate models: 55 x 84 x 22 mm (2.17 x 3.31 x 0.87”) General Heatsink models: 55 x 84 x 38.5 mm (2.17 x 3.31 x 1.51”) Processor Intel Atom E6x0T platform. 512K 8-way L2 cache.
