SBC provides maximum performance per watt
BVM introduces the next generation of energy-efficient, small form-factor mobile Mini-ITX mother-board or single board computer (SBC).
It addresses the requirements of a wide range of embedded mobile 'performance' applications such as graphics-intensive displays, global positioning system (GPS) navigation and digital video recorder (DVR).
The LS-371 Core 2 Duo Embedded Miniboard features a 667 MHz front-side bus and support for up to 2 Gbytes of dual-channel DDR2 memory.
The new graphics core supports dual independent display, enhanced modes for wide-screen flat panels, and optimised 3D.

Omega's ELC series DIN rail mount mini programmable logic controllers offer high speed pulse capture and high speed pulse output and are expandable to 256 I/O.
Analogue, thermocouple modules are faster
IDEC has upgraded the original two and three channel analogue and thermocouple modules, reducing sampling duration, total input system transfer and total output system transfer times.
Embedded platforms based on the Intel 945GM chipset can deliver an intense, realistic visual experience without requiring a separate graphics card.
Expansion is available via one Mini-PCI slot for a wireless or other add-on card/module, like the MP-954GPS (for GPS functionality) or the MP-878D for video capture functionality (to IEEE1394).
An UltraATA100.EIDE controller and dual port SATA controller are provided on-board and the CompactFlash and FDD interfaces provide removable storage attachment.
The embedded market segment is growing and fragmenting to address divergent market needs, creating a multiplicity of form-factors.
The area (164 cm2) of the 3.5 inch Miniboard form-factor positions the LS-371 in the middle of the Embedded Computing Small Form Factor (ECSFF) sub-segment (up to 300 cm2).
It measures 146.5mm by 112mm.
One of the key features of the Embedded Intel Architecture, Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost, accelerates a broad range of applications, including video, speech and image, photo processing and encryption.
It supports high quality audio and Dolby noise reduction applications.
Graphics core speed up to 250 MHz provides a wealth of options for using high-resolution displays.
The integrated display controller provides resolution options up to 2048 x 1536 (75 Hz refresh frequency) for both analogue and digital displays, and support for multiple interface types (LVDS, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDTV, TV-out, CRT) with HDTV 720p and 1080i display resolution support.
The LS-371 has a Gigabit LAN port, four USB 2.0 ports, and two serial ports, configurable as RS232/422/485.
The board is equipped with a 4-pin DIN power-inlet connector, operates from 8 to 21 Vdc, and is ideally suited to mobile applications.
