Low-Cost Low-Power ZFx86 PC/104 CPU

Description |
Our new Prometheus LC goes above and beyond the competition to provide an
excellent solution for low-cost low-power-consumption applications. Its ZFx86
processor chip delivers 486-100MHz capability, enough for DOS, Linux, and QNX
applications. The low 2-watt total power consumption provides extended life in
battery-powered applications along with extra-low heat dissipation. System
memory includes a generous 16MB RAM and 1MB Flash. A backup battery is included
for the on-board real-time clock. The board operates over the extended
temperature range of -40 to +85ºC.
The Prometheus LC may be used with our Pandora enclosure system, including a
cable-free panel I/O board that provides industry-standard connectors for all
I/O while minimizing assembly time and maximizing ruggedness.

Small on Price, Big on I/O |
The extensive I/O includes 4 RS-232 ports (2 with 128-byte FIFOs) featuring
up to 115.2kbaud data rates. The BIOS provides console redirection via COM1 or
COM2, so you don't need a video board to communicate with the CPU. Two USB1.1
ports, 2 PS/2 ports, IrDA capability, and an IEEE1284 LPT port are also
included. Both floppy and IDE drives are supported. The IDE port may be used
with a notebook hard drive or a solid-state
flashdisk module that
mounts directly on the board. A watchdog timer with programmable time delay
provides the capability to reset the system in the case of application failure.
Both hardware and software retriggering are supported.

Disk-On-Board Flash File Storage Reduces
Cost |
Prometheus includes our exclusive cost-saving disk-on-board technology. This
custom BIOS feature lets you format the on-board flash memory as a bootable disk
drive with approximately 700KB capacity. You can store DOS, application
programs, and data files directly in the flash, eliminating the need for any
external drives or flashdisk modules.

IDE Flashdisk modules are available in sizes from 32MB up
to 128MB. These compact solid-state storage devices mount directly on the
board and are fully IDE-compatible, with no configuration or drivers
required. A miniature adapter board ACC-IDEEXT is also available to enable
you to connect the flashdisk module to a desktop PC for file transfers. |
