The Newt takes advantage of DMP’s Vortex86DX System on Chip (SoC) for 800 MHz performance with only 3.6W typical power draw. Based on the industry-standard EPIC form DMP Vortex86DX Processor 800 MHz performance. Very low power consumption. factor (4.5 x 6.5 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 add-on latching connectors. video 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 very low power consumption. IDE interface with support for two devices. Basic on-board features include single or dual Ethernet with network boot capability, up to 1 GB Flash Memory soldered-on DDR2 RAM, up to four USB ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support for ® CompactFlash socket or eUSB interface for plug-in two devices, CompactFlash socket or eUSB interface (optional) for removable flash storage, and flash storage. 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. MIL-STD-202G Designed for full industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) operation, the rugged Newt board meets Qualified for high shock / vibration environments. MIL-STD-202G specifications for mechanical shock and vibration. Latching Ethernet connectors (optional) provide additional ruggedization for use in extremely harsh environments. Transient SPX Expansion voltage suppression (TVS) devices on critical I/O ports provide enhanced electrostatic discharge Add low cost analog, digital, or CANbus modules.
