CPC108

CPC108 is a compact yet fully x86compatible SBC in MicroPC format, designed for fanless operation in harsh environments. Key system components, such as processor, 256 or 512 MB of system memory, and 64 MB solid-state disk are soldered on board, providing high shock and vibration stability.

High system reliability and availability are ensured by two independent watchdog timers, reserved BIOS, and optoisolated remote reset capability. CPC108 offers wide choice of standard PC interfaces onboard, such as Fast Ethernet, FDD/LPT port, COM and USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, and audio interface. Video controller sharing up to 60 MB of memory with system supports CRT monitors with resolutions up to 1920x1440, and EL, TFT and DSTN flat panels with resolutions up to 1600x1200. Supported color depth is 18-bit via TFT interface, and 24-bit via LVDS interface.

Moreover, the board has two isolated CAN field bus channels available, allowing to control a real time distributed system. CPC108 can serve either as a master module controlling two CAN network segments, or as a slave device in data acquisition and processing systems operating in industrial temperature range.

Isolated CAN channels, graphics and audio ports, keyboard and mouse ports as well as isolated reset are available through separately mounted interface expansion modules adding flexibility in system design.

CPC108 consumes only 5.5 W, does not require forced cooling. Low heat dissipation allows using CPC108 in closed and hermetically sealed cabinets. It can operate either independently, or together with expansion modules connected via 16-bit ISA bus.

Compatibility with most widespread operating systems, such as Windows 2000, XP Embedded, CE, QNX 4.25, 6.3x, RTOS32, and Linux makes system development process faster.
