Aitech C160

Introduction

Aitech’s C160 is a powerful, rugged VME SBC, based on Intel's latest generation highly integrated, low power and high performance Santa Rosa platform.

Powered by Intel's Santa Rosa platform, comprising Intel Core2 Duo (T7500/L7500), dual-core processor with its large integrated on-chip L1 and L2 cache, the Express Chipset Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GM965) and I/O Controller Hub (ICH8M), the C160 provides high performance in a 6U VME SBC for embedded and harsh environment applications.

The on-board graphics controller provides video and 2D/3D graphics processing and output support for various displays.

The C160 integrates large on-board memory arrays to support processor and user application needs. Memory resources include up to 2 GB fast DDR2 (Double Data Rate) SDRAM, an 8 GB IDE Flash Disk for user/application specific parameter storage, and up to 16 GB of Solid State Disk (SSD) for file storage.

In addition to its high performance processor architecture, the C160 provides a wide variety of I/O, including two Gigabit Ethernet ports (three for air-cooled boards with front panel), two serial communications ports, two USB 2.0 ports (four for air-cooled boards with front panel), two SATA II interfaces, up to eight general-purpose discrete I/O channels, and high definition stereo audio output. To further expand its capabilities, the C160 is equipped with two industry standard PMC slots.

The C160 is available with complete Board Support Packages (BSP) for a variety of operating systems.

The highly integrated design of the C160 guarantees unmatched performance and versatility for a rugged conduction or air-cooled 6U VME SBC. To ensure high reliability under extreme operating conditions the C160 is capable of accurate temperature self-monitoring and power dissipation control through on-board temperature sensors.
