Standalone SBC dissipates 10W max

Military & Aerospace Electronics reports that General Micro Systems  has bowed a “power stingy” 3.5 x 2.5-inch enclosed SBC targeting “hand-held or body-worn military applications.” Dubbed the Atom XPC40x, it’s based on a 1.6 GHz  Atom microprocessor and up to 2 Gbytes of 533 MHz DDR-2 SDRAM, includes “high performance graphics with 3D acceleration,” and dissipates 10W max.

Interfaces include 100 Mbit Ethernet, five USB 2.0 ports, a RS232/422 serial port, LVDS, eight buffered general-purpose I/O lines and two Express Mini Card sites which can alternatively be populated by a 3 Gbit/s SATA port, Compact Flash slot or 1.8-inch SATA solid state disk. An 8-bit Secure Digital I/O /MMC port for custom I/O, on-board power supplies for single 5 to 12 VDC input, and two x1 PCI Express links are also provided.

The enclosed SBC supports Windows XP/Server 2003/2008, Linux and VxWorks and is available in standard 0°C to +60°C and extended temp -40°C to +85°C versions.
