Advantech announced a new PCI-104 Single Board Computer. PCM-3363 uses an Intel® Atom™ N455/D525 processor, supporting 1 x GB of soldered DDRIII 800MHz SDRAM. The Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating including processor and ICH8M chipset is only 9 Watts for the N455, and 13 Watts for the D525, further enabling power reductions, smaller systems, and performance improvements.
Design and Verification for Rugged Applications
Advantech’s PCM-3363 adopts the IEC standard for Electro Static Discharge protection for the COM port transceiver with 15kV air gap protection/8kV contact protection for RS-232. PCM-3363 also uses Japanese polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors with small ESR and better MTBF than electrolytic capacitors, and high Tg PCB (TG-170) that keeps the PCB more stable under high temperature operation. PCM-3363 passes a strict signal intensity verification process during the development stage to ensure high quality circuit design. PCM-3363 also utilizes Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) to find weak points, design issues or material limitations, or help improve electrical/ mechanical design margins and increase reliability. PCM-3363 uses soldered memory and locked connectors (direction changeable) in all I/O interface to strengthen shock and vibration resistance. Plus, the PCI-104 rugged stacking mechanical architecture makes it ideal for outdoor applications in military and transportation fields.
Lite-iManager – Rugged Enhancement
In order to overcome challenges from harsh environments, PCM-3363 comes equipped with Advantech’s new Lite-iManager technology. There are two major functions: Extreme Cold Start and Voltage Dip Protection. Normally, operating tempertures under -40° C temperatures can lead to systems failing to bootup properly; especially after long time storage. Lite-iManager performs a special function to make sure all components reach working temperature to guarantee 100% bootup. It also ensures that abnormal transient power fluctuations won’t cause a system to freeze, making PCM-3363 suitable for un-manned and outdoor applications which occasionally experience unstable mains power.
18/24-bit LVDS with CRT Support
PCM-3363 has an integrated graphics core with 224 MB shared memory. This feature makes PCM-3363 capable of handling complex and intense 2D/3D graphic processing, its CRT and LVDS dual display ports also makes it suitable for applications requiring multiple display configurations or digital panel display capabilities.
Software API and Embedded OS
Advantech provides an API suite called SUSI, which stands for Secure & Unified Smart Interface, and which includes: GPIO, SMBus, GPIO, watchdog timer, H/W monitor, brightness on/off, CPU speed and system throttling utilities. SUSI API makes it quicker and easier to integrate and configure hardware with software applications. PCM-3363 supports Windows 7/ WES7/ XP/ XPe/ Windows CE 6.0, Vxworks 6.8 and QNX6.5 operating systems. PCM-3363 is suitable for many kinds of applications such as: military, medical, factory automation, transportation, entry-level gaming machines, and security and surveillance, amongst others. Intel provides longevity support to at least 2017, Q3. PCM-3363 is available now; please contact Advantech sales for more information, or visit the website.
