WAFER-945GSE

Overview

The 3.5" WAFER-945GSE's 45 nm Intel® Atom™ processor N270 has a 1.60 GHz clock speed and a 533 MHz FSB with a 512 KB L2 cache. The low power Intel® Atom™ is interfaced through the 533 MHz FSB to an Intel® 945GSE graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) which is in turn interfaced through a high-speed direct media interface (DMI) to an Intel® Mobil ICH7-M I/O controller hub (ICH).

The Intel® 945GSE supports DDR2 memory modules, CRT graphics and both an LVDS and SDVO graphics port. In some IEI Intel® Atom™ platforms, the SDVO ports is connected to a second LVDS connector through a Chrontel SDVO-to-LVDS transmitter. The LVDS connectors support both 18-bit and 36-bit single channel LVDS screens.

The Intel® ICH7-M ICH comes with four PCIe lanes. Two of these lanes are typically connected to external RJ-45 LAN connectors through a Gigabit Ethernet controller (GbE) to ensure the system has PCIe GbE connectivity. The remaining two PCIe lanes are connected to either edge connectors or expansion ports such as PCIe mini slots. The Intel® ICH7-M chipsets also support up to four SATA drives, two IDE hard disks, AC97 audio codecs and six USB 2.0 ports. All IEI Intel® Atom™ platforms integrate other critical peripheral device connection features including RS-232 and RS-232/422/485 serial connectivity.

The IEI Intel® Atom™ platforms are sophisticated, low-power SBC that provide the essential features for a low-cost, high-throughput system.
