Product
Overview
The new ETX-VE-series of the ETX component SBC
module is based on the VIA Eden Platform, using
the Twister-T™ chipset and ESP3000, ESP4000
and VIA-C3 800 MHz processors. The processors
and chipsets are optimized for ultra-low power
consumption enabling highperformance boards
with passive cooling solutions. Improoved power
management is achieved using both ACPI and APM
1.2 allowing for fanless-cooling and extending
battery life. With the VIA VT8606/ VT82C686A
as the core chip set, the ETX-VE-series provides
both S3 Savage 4 graphics and VIA enhanced audio.
In addition to standard ETX features, the ETX-VE
supports four USB ports, up to 512 MByte SDRAM,
10/ 100Base-T Ethernet, keyboard/ mouse controllers,
real-time clock, and watchdog timer. ETX modules
are like components, plugging in to an application-specifi
c baseboard. The ETX modules supply the core
CPU and memory subsystems together with sound,
SVGA, Ethernet and standard PC I/O. They connect
to the rest of the embedded system through high-density,
low profi le, surface-mount connectors, which
carry both ISA and PCI bus signals as well as
dedicated I/O interfaces. The mechanics of the
interconnection is such that an ETX/ baseboard
combination is virtually the same in height
as a one-board solution. ETX modules are scaleable
and interchangeable, and they make possible
the rapid development of semi-custom solutions
for embedded applications. ...always a Jump
ahead!
