 RSSEN50155 compliant reliability, soldered components and ultra low TDP for harsh environments

Kontron is bringing record-breaking performance per watt to 3U CompactPCI® systems with the launch of the longtime available processor board Kontron CP305 with Intel® Atom™ processor. The rugged Kontron CP305 features EN50155 compliant reliability and extremely low TDP (Thermal Design Power), soldered processor, chipset and RAM for harsh environments.

 

Equipped with the 1.6 GHz Intel® Atom™ processor N270, Intel® 945GSE plus ICH7M chipset and up to 2 GByte of soldered DDR2 memory the Kontron CP305 has a typical power consumption of only 10 Watt. This is less than half compared to earlier generations with identical performance. Designed for reliable operation in a temperature range from 0 to 60°C for convection cooled environments, the new CompactPCI® board powers energy critical and in-vehicle mobile embedded applications in the transportation, automation, energy, military and aerospace markets. A version for the extended temperature range is also planned.

 

Despite its rugged low-power design, Kontron's latest CompactPCI® CPU-board offers a comprehensive set of interfaces: On board the Kontron CP305 are 2 x Gbit Ethernet, up to 6 x USB 2.0, two SATA interfaces, and a CompactFlash socket. The graphics accelerator, integrated into the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset, provides excellent 2D, 3D, and video features for the VGA connector on the front. The 3U CompactPCI® CPU board is available as single slot (4HP) or dual slot (8HP). Engineers profit from the 8HP version by additional features including COM, PS/2, DVI on the front for dual monitor operation and a 2.5” SATA hard disk interface to mount a HDD or SSD required for harsher environments.

 

The Kontron CP305 features integrated board support packages for Linux, Microsoft Windows XP, XP embedded and VxWorks.
