Adlink Technology Inc. in San Jose, Calif., is introducing the ETX 620 rugged single-board computer based on the AMD Geode LX 800 processor and chipset. The ETX 620 computer-on-module (COM) is for mission-critical military, avionics, medical, and industrial applications where failures would have dire consequences or high costs. The ETX 620 can operate in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, and can withstand vibration as strong as 15 Grms and shock as strong as 50 Grms. Its processor runs at 500 MHz, and it has memory support for as much as 1 gigabyte of DDR RAM. The embedded computer offers 2D/3D graphics and a choice of TTL or 24 Bit LVDS LCD interfaces along with legacy CRT. It also has a 16-bit ISA bus and Intel Ethernet controller. The I/O and bus signals pass through high-density surface-mount connectors to application-specific carrier boards. ETX 620 I/O includes two Serial ATA (SATA) ports, four USB 2.0 ports, Intel 10/100 Ethernet, one UDMA IDE interface, two Serial RS-232 ports, keyboard and mouse, and AC ’97 audio.
