 The
new PCM-9574 is a 5.25" SBC that supports Pentium® III
processors plus impressive video and audio capability. This socket
370 biscuit SBC offers a Trident™ Cyber 9525 DVD controller
for on-chip 2 x AGP 3D VGA/LCD as well as an on-chip hardware-assisted
MPEG II accelerator. The ESS 1989 Audio controller with 1.1 W
per channel amplifier supports AC97 3D stereo surround sound with
additional support for a MDC connector for optional software modem
card. These advanced video and audio controllers in combination
with Intel®'s Pentium® III processors up to 800 MHz, can satisfy
system designers' most demanding video/graphics application needs.
The Pentium® III processor also helps to simplify system integration
and management, preserving previous software and hardware investments
while providing a strong base to accomodate future system growth
and upgrade.
Wide Range of Flexibility
 The
PCM-9574 has a large array of features that offer increased flexibility
to system integrators. Socket 370 design with 100 MHz FSB support
not only allows this board to use Pentium® III CPUs, but also allows
Celeron™ processors of 533 MHz or higher to be used. Celeron
processors allow for good performance in a more cost-effective
solution. A PCI 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface is provided which
supports remote Boot-ROM. Two 144-pin SODIMM sockets accept up
to 256 MB SDRAM. Other on-board features include four serial ports,
one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB ports, one
infrared port (FIR), one CompactFlash™ socket for CFC, a
floppy drive controller and keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. Microphone
in, Line in, CD audio in, line out, speaker L and speaker R are
all provided. There is a PCI IDE controller that supports PIO
and UDMA/33 bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected,
including large disk drives, CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.
The PCM-9574 complies with the "Green Function" standard
and supports doze, standby and suspend modes. The board's watchdog
timer is software enabled/disabled and can generate system reset
for increased unattended dependability.
Endless
Application Possibilities
With the PCM-9574's outstanding on-chip video and audio capabilities,
when combined with a Pentium® III processor, this board becomes
one of the world's smallest and most powerful all-in-one socket
370 solutions available on the market. Having DVD capability and
MPEG II support plus AC97 audio, the PCM-9574 is a good choice
when applying a DVD platform in the Embedded market.
