Introduction

Diamond’s ETX-945 computer-on-modules (COMs) are compact, high-performance embedded cores suitable for powering a wide range of embedded applications. To support real-world applications subject to temperature extremes, the modules are rated for operation over an extended operating temperature range.

Reduced Development Costs

By plugging these high-quality, plug-and-play COMs into standard or custom application baseboards, OEMs can reduce development costs, minimize design risks, and shorten time-to-revenue while benefiting from the latest embedded technologies. The ETX-945 is also available pre-integrated in our Pluto Embedded-Ready Subsystem.

Highly Integrated

Each ETX-945 integrates a complete set of PC-compatible functions, including a high performance, low-power Intel Atom processor and up to 2GB of high-speed system memory.

In addition, the module also provides interface controllers for high-resolution CRT and LVDS-interfaced displays, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, and both SATA and IDE storage devices, as well as USB 2.0, serial, parallel, audio and PS/2 ports.

Maximum Application Flexibility

For maximum application flexibility, the ETX-945 can be interfaced to application-specific circuitry via both 32-bit PCI and 16-bit ISA expansion buses.

ETX COM Development Systems

In addition to the ETX-945 COMs themselves, Diamond offers pre-integrated development kits based on generic or application-oriented ETX baseboards. This increases project efficiency and reduces risks by providing a known good environment for rapid application development.

To simplify the development process, these kits’ ETX baseboards each provide I/O connectors for quick and easy access to nearly all system interfaces, a CompactFlash socket, and modular PC/104-Plus expansion. They also come with SO-DIMM memory, an extensive set of interface cables, and full documentation and software.

In addition to these features, the Pluto ETX form-factor baseboard adds two serial ports, RS-232/422/485 buffering, digital I/O, a second Ethernet LAN interface, and digital I/O. Alternately, the Neptune EPIC form-factor baseboard adds four serial ports, RS-232/422/485 buffering, a gigabit Ethernet LAN interface, a wide-input (5V/7-28V) DC-to-DC power supply, and an industry-leading data acquisition subsystem option.
