Neptune introduces a new concept in small form-factor embedded-ready subsystems.Neptune's CPU core consists of an ETX module mounted its bottom side, an approach that improves thermal management and increases the space for I/O functions and connections. This innovative design has enabled Neptune to integrate CPU, system I/O, industry-leading data acquisition, both 10/100Mbps and gigabit Ethernet, and a wide-input DC/DC power supply within the compact and modularly expandable EPIC single-board computer (SBC) form-factor.Thanks to Neptune's flexible architecture, you can select from a wide range of ETX-based CPUs to meet each application's specific performance, power, and cost requirements. Available processors include Intel's Atom, Celeron, CoreDuo, and Core2Duo -- in both LV and ULV technologies. What's more, Neptune's on-board PC/104-Plus expansion socket facilitates the addition of custom or off-the-shelf ISA and PCI interfaced add-on modules, helping you satisfy your application's precise requirements.
CPU Options:
Intel Atom N270 at 1.6GHz -20°C to +71°C operating temp.
Intel Core Duo LV at 1.66GHz -40°C to +85°C operating temp.
Intel Celeron M ULV at 1.06GHz ** -40°C to +85°C operating temp.
Intel Core Duo ULV at 1.2GHz ** -40°C to +85°C operating temp.
Intel Core 2 Duo ULV at 1.06GHz ** -40°C to +85°C operating temp.
A quick-start development kit includes everything you need to get started with your application development, including:
Neptune uses SO-DIMM modules (located on the ETX CPU module) with capacities ranging from 1GB to 2GB depending on the choice of ETX CPU module.
This accessory plugs onto the front row of pin headers to provide cable-free access to the standard system I/O: Serial ports, USB, Ethernet, PS/2, VGA, Power input.
