ACR301

The ACR301 responds to the growing requirement for embedded, high performance computing solutions that consume minimal power and dissipate minimal heat. The ACR301 rugged 3U CompactPCI SBC, based on Intel’s Atom E6XX processor, integrates both 3D graphics and memory controller. It delivers optimum performance/watt, and can operate in harsh environments such as those found in military/aerospace applications and growing numbers of industrial applications.

Not only does the ACR301 offer exceptional performance/watt characteristics (sub-10 watts), it also offers outstanding flexibility. It is offered with four alternative versions of the Intel Atom processor (0.6 GHz, 1.0 GHz, 1.3 GHz, 1.6 GHz) and in five ruggedization levels. Flexibility is further enhanced by the provision of a mezzanine (PMC) site that enables it to be precisely configured for specific application profiles. Comprehensive input/output and communications capabilities – including two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, two USB 2.0 ports, two full duplex asynchronous serial ports, one Gen 2 SATA ports, keyboard/mouse and VGA – are provided. The ACR301 also features support for CAN-bus, the communications standard designed specifically to facilitate the exchange of electronic information within a vehicle. 1 GByte of DDR2 SDRAM is soldered to the board for optimum reliability and rugged computing.
