EPIC-sized SBC features Intel Core 2 Duo and SUMIT interface

VersaLogic Corp. recently introduced the "Komodo", the highest performing EPIC™-sized SBC in the industry! Running on the new Intel Core™2 Duo (model P8400) 45 nm processor, the new Komodo performs at an impressive 2.27 GHz, with mid-range power consumption. Standard on-board features include gigabit Ethernet, up to 4 GB DDR3 memory, four USB 2.0 ports, two SATA interfaces, two RS-232/422/485 COM ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, HD audio, as well as dual LVDS and analog VGA support.

The SUMIT interface supports a variety of expansion options, including PCI Express, USB, LPC bus, SPI/uWire and SMBUS/I˛C serial buses. Komodo is an ideal solution for OEM designers in defense, aerospace, and medical markets because of its processing power, extended temperature operation, low power requirements, and five-year product lifecycle guarantee. The Komodo is available in limited quantities. Please contact VersaLogic for pricing and availability.

New SUMIT-based expansion modules

VersaLogic Corp. has also recently announced two new SUMIT-based expansion modules. The new modules feature the industry standard SUMIT interface developed by the SFF-SIG™. The VL-EPMs-E1 features both high-speed wired Ethernet channels and optional wireless Ethernet functionality via a PCI Express Mini Card interface. The VL-EPMs-PS1 power supply card accepts +9 to +40 VDC input and provides clean +5V and ±12 VDC output for powering an embedded system without an external supplyboard stack.

All VersaLogic embedded computer products are ideal solutions for OEM designers in defense, aerospace and medical markets because of their extended temperature operation, low power requirements and five-year product lifecycle guarantee.
