Press Release Summary = This new RoHS compliant CPU module combines a robust
processor with multi-port USB2.0 targeting high performance embedded applications.

Press Release Body = Amaro (Udine, Italy) - Eurotech has today unveiled the
CPU-1462, a high reliability Single Board Computer (SBC). This RoHS compliant module
is based on the 800MHz Intel? Pentium? III processor with 256MB of SDRAM soldered
onboard and versatile peripheral interfaces. The CPU-1462 is an upgrade and
replacement to the widely proven CPU-1460 and CPU-1461 CPU modules.

The highly integrated CPU-1462 peripheral interfaces include four high-speed USB2.0
ports suitable for modern mass storage media, cameras or other high performance
expansion devices. Additionally four USB1.1 ports can be used for standard I/O
devices such as keyboards, mice, serial expansion etc. Included on this CPU module
is a 10/100Mbit Ethernet, two serial and one parallel port, an AC97 audio interface,
high resolution CRT monitor and LVDS display ports as well as a keyboard and mouse
port. IDE mass storage devices, (such as a Disk-on-Module, Compact Flash card or
HDD) can be connected to the onboard high-speed EIDE controller. Included also is a
real time clock, hardware watchdog timer and an internal flash memory for system
set-up storage.

The unique construction of this CPU module makes structural heat dissipation into
the enclosure easy to implement therefore expanding the range of suitable
applications. Efficient heat conduction from components and an optimised low power
design results in a wide standard operating temperature range from 0ºC to +50ºC or
extended over -40°C to +85°C.

Full compatibility with the x86 hardware architecture guarantees compatibility with
standard operating systems such as WinCE®, WinXPE® and Linux®. A CPU development
system is available to speed up OS and application software development and
integration as well as hardware testing.

Suitable applications for the CPU-1462 include mobile real-time computation
intensive video and multimedia processing, high-speed industrial data acquisition
and control as well as networking and communication systems. The CPU-1462 is a
reliable CPU module that is well suited for vehicle installations requiring
resistance to temperature extremes, shocks and vibration.
