Based PC/104-Plus Form Factor on the PC/104-Plus industry standard form factor, the Tomcat supports PCI and ISA stackable Supports PCI and ISA expansion on a highly rugged format. expansion boards. With mid-range performance (800 MHz) and ultra-low power consumption (3.1W typ.), the Tomcat is well suited to size, weight, and power constrained applications. With no Vortex86DX Processor  800 MHz performance with ultra-low power consumption. moving parts (fanless operation), full industrial temperature rating, soldered-on RAM, and a compact rugged form factor, it is ideal for operation in harsh, mobile, and/or remote environments. Network Support Fast Ethernet with remote boot support. The Tomcat is “headless”. It is designed for applications that do not require any type of video output. System RAM Like all VersaLogic products, the Tomcat is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability Up to 512 MB soldered-on RAM for harsh environments. and long-term availability are required. From application design-in support, to its 5+ year production life guarantee, the Tomcat provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost USB I/O Two USB 2.0 ports support keyboard, mouse, and of ownership. The Tomcat is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is fully other devices. RoHS compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities. Device I/O Four serial ports, IDE, and LPT. Details Flash Memory Driven by a DMP Vortex86DX processor, the Tomcat runs at 800 MHz. The 32-bit CPU integrates CompactFlash socket for solid-state storage. memory and I/O controller hub functions to provide an x86-compatible single-chip solution with ultra-low power consumption. Fanless Operation No moving parts required for CPU cooling. Tomcat’s standard on-board features include Fast Ethernet, up to 512 MB soldered-on DDR2 Extended Temperature Version RAM, two USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE and LPT interfaces, a CompactFlash socket for -40º to +85ºC operation for harsh environments. removable flash storage, and two general purpose timers. The PC/104-Plus platform provides plug-in access to industry standard expansion modules. Support for keyboard and mouse is MIL-STD-202G provided via USB or PS/2. Qualified for high shock / vibration environments. Available in both commercial (0° to +70°C) and industrial (-40° to +85°C) temperature versions; the Tomcat provides fanless operation and meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices on critical I/O ports provide enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for the system. The Tomcat is compatible with a variety of x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
