PCA-6770 Provides ISA Bus Data & Graphics Solution

The PCA-6770 series all-in-one industrial grade solution CPU card uses Intel's^®highly acclaimed Celeron^TMprocessor, together with the Intel^®440BX PCI chipset.

The CPU provides 128 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It has one PCI EIDE interface (for up to two devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two devices). Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with a 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port (supports SPP/EPP/ECP) and two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates as fast as 33 MB/sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM and LS-120. A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 62-level watchdog timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended environments.

High Performance with rock-solid features list

The PCA-6770 offers high performance operation without sacrificing reliability. This was accomplished by integrating proven components in a combination that proved very effective. At the heart of the PCI-6770 is the Intel 440BX System Chipset. This is the most popular, mature, tried and proven chipset in the industry. Intel also maintains a 5-year supply guarantee for this chipset, one of the most dedicated product support programs in the industry. The PCA-6770 supports Socket 370 for Intel^®Celeron^TM processors. Celeron^TM300A/333/350/400/433 MHz are all supported.

By utilizing Socket 370, vertical space above the board is reduced thus allowing more space for other expansion cards and a reduction in overall chassis size. The PCA-6770 series offers several impressive industrial features such as a VGA (AGP) controller, a 10/100Base-T networking controller, two SODIMM slots for a total of 256 MB RAM memory. In addition, the PCA-6770 series supports a solid state disk (SSD) using CompactFlash^TMthat is less vulnerable to the hazards of an industrial computing environment.
