Board brings new life to 5.25in form factor

Supports Intel Core2 Duo, Core Duo, Core Solo and Celeron M processors offering a wide range of performance, price and power

The PCM-9452 is the latest-generation 5.25in compact board from Aaeon Technology, combining innovative features in a compact size with expansion to meet any requirement. The PCM-9452 supports Intel Core2 Duo, Core Duo, Core Solo and Celeron M processors offering a wide range of performance, price and power.
Memory support for up to 4Gbyte of DDRII 400/533/667 is available through two 200-pin SODIMM sockets.

Dual Ethernet connectivity is achieved by employing Intel 82573L 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet controllers.

To meet demanding expansion requirements the PCM-9452 offers Mini PCI, PCI and PCI-Express x16.

In addition, the PCM-9452 features six USB ports, 8bit digital I/O (programmable) and four COM ports.

With all the available I/O connections and bus expansion, the PCM-9452 is an excellent solution for an integrated system.

The display interface of the PCM-9452 supports CRT/LCD, CRT/TV, LCD/TV in simultaneous and dual view configurations.

The LCD interface is 18bit dual channel LVDS.

Paired with a dual core CPU, the integrated graphics engine provides exceptional 3D graphic performance.

For higher end graphic applications the PCM-9452 offers expandability through the PCI-Express x16 slot.

Whether the application utilises the integrated graphics or uses an addon card for more demanding multimedia applications the PCM-9452 is a solid performer.

'Although most of the market trends indicate smaller form factors are the next big thing, these boards suffer from expansion limitations', says Barnabas Chen, Product Manager of the Embedded Computing Division, Aaeon Technology.

'The PCM-9452 has been designed to cater to applications needing flexible expansion, high performance display, and enhanced storage capabilities'.

'We have already received strong demand for the PCM-9452 from both the China and the US markets'.

'We feel that the debut of PCM-9452 will renew interest in the 5.25in compact boards'.

The PCM-9452 targets markets with high performance demands, such as medical, multimedia, kiosk and gaming applications.
