High-Performance Rugged Embedded CPU with Data Acquisition
Athena II SBC/DAQ
High-Performance Rugged Embedded CPU with Data Acquisition
The new Athena CPU from Diamond Systems combines the low-power Pentium-III class VIA Mark processor (400 or 660 MHz) with on-board memory and data acquisition into a new compact form factor measuring only 4.2" x 4.5". The result is a small, low-heat-dissipation, and extremely rugged embedded CPU that fits in tight spaces and survives harsh environments. On-board 256MB RAM (128 MB without data Aquisition),an advanced 2D / 3D video controller supporting both LCD and LVDS flat panel display, AC97 audio, 4 USB ports, 4 serial ports., a ultra DMA IDE controller, PS/2 keyboard / mouse and Ethernet 10/100.
The Athena II has 16 16-bit analog inputs with a 100 kHz sample rate, backed by a 512 sample FIFO along with 4 12-bit D/A channels. Autocalibration on both A/D and D/A ensures maximum accuracy over time and temperature. Athena ii provides 24 digital I/O lines with programmable direction, as well as two counter / timers for A/D sample rate control, pulse counting, frquency generation, or other applications.
It is extremely rugged, featuring soldered SDRAM. optional hard wired jumpers for increased resistance to shock and vibration and a operating temperature range of -40 to + 85°C without fan. Conformal coating is available as an extra cost option.
The compact 4.2" x 4.5" form factor, slightly larger than PC/104, enables Athena to include more features on a single board and still fit inside our Pandora enclosure system.
