Based on the industry-standard EPIC form DMP Vortex86DX Processor 800 MHz performance. Very low power consumption. factor (5.75 x 8 inches), this SBC is an excellent solution for industrial and medical applications with substantial I/O requirements. Network Single or dual Ethernet with remote boot support. Optional The Newt is designed for headless applications (no video output), or it may be used with video latching connectors. expansion modules. Analog + Digital I/O Like all VersaLogic products, the Newt is designed to support OEM applications where high On-board data acquisition. Up to 16 analog inputs, 8 analog reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in support, to its 5+ outputs, and 32 digital I/O lines. year production life guarantee, the Newt provides a durable embedded computer solution with RAM an excellent cost of ownership. The Newt is manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards and Up to 1 GB soldered-on RAM. is fully RoHS compliant. USB Up to four USB ports support keyboard, mouse, and other devices. Details COM Driven by a DMP Vortex86DX System on Chip (SoC), the Newt provides 800 MHz performance. Four on-board serial ports. The 32-bit CPU integrates memory and I/O controller hub functions to provide an x86-compatible Hard Drive single-chip solution with ultra-low power consumption. IDE interface with support for two devices. Basic on-board features include single or dual Fast Ethernet with network boot capability, up to 1 Flash Memory GB soldered-on DDR2 RAM, up to four USB ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support ® CompactFlash socket or eUSB interface for plug-in for two devices, CompactFlash socket or eUSB interface (optional) for removable flash storage, flash storage. and three general purpose timers. On-board data acquisition features include up to sixteen analog Industrial Temperature inputs, up to eight analog outputs, and thirty-two digital I/O lines. An industry-standard PC/104-Plus -40° to +85°C operation for harsh environments. expansion site provides plug-in access to a wide variety of industry-standard expansion modules from numerous vendors. The SPX expansion interface provides low-cost plug-in expansion for Fanless No moving parts required for CPU cooling. additional analog, digital, and CANbus I/O.
