The
SOM-4472 combines low cost, and low power requirements with a high
performance data rate to make it a powerful competitor against
older,
Pentium-based designs. This is an SOM-ETX form factor CPU module
board, with chipsets similar to Advantech’s SBC
PCM-9575. The onboard VIA low power Ezra 800 MHz or Eden
400MHz processor uses advanced 0.13u CMOS technology with 128KB L1
cache memory and 64KB L2 cache memory on die. Thisboard can
operate without a fan at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F) (800MHz
model requires a small fan) and typically consumes under 14 Watts,
even while supporting numerous peripherals. The SOM-4472 includes
a 4X AGP controller, TV out, a PCI audio interface, a PCI Ethernet
interface, and 2 channel LVDS interface. Other I/O features
include an LPT, 4 USBs, IrDA and 2 serial ports. For storage,
there is support for two FDDs and up to two EIDE devices.
True Multimedia SOM-ETX
The
SOM-4472 TV-out supports both NTSC and PAL formats through S-Video
and composite connectors. The 3D engine 4X AGP VGA/LCD controller
supports DVD play. 3D audio complies with the AC97 standard.
This product uses a VIA Twister chip with Integrated Savage4
2D/3D/Video Accelerator, north bridge and LCD controller, and
supports 4X AGP VGA/LCD interface and up to 32 MB frame buffer
using system memory. The SOM-4472's powerful processor choices and
solid system chipset make it a perfect core technology for
multimedia, medical equipment, and other long life applications.
It is also effective for use as a mini-server or gateway device,
through its ability to add more Ethernet ports through its
flexible design of carrier boards.
