Controller module fits familiar x86 environment
Categories: Embedded Computing and ControlThe ultra-low-power ICOP-6115 is ideal for applications that require a high-end microcontroller without the price and power consumption to match
Designed to operate in extended temperature environments ranging from -40 to +85C, the new ultra-low-power ICOP-6115 from Datasound Laboratories measures just 100 x 66mm and is based on the latest Vortex86SX CPU. Ideal for applications that require a high-end microcontroller without the price and power consumption to match, the ICOP-6115 gives engineers the opportunity to produce this type of application using x86 tools.
The power saving benefits of the board can be seen its consumption of a mere 300mA from a single +5V DC supply.
The module offers everything expected from a modern day system, including 10/100Base-T LAN plus two USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports and 32bit GPIO.
In addition to 2Mbyte of onboard SPI Flash, the unit also has an onboard IDE port supporting IDE Flash drives up to 4Gbyte.
Incorporating a watchdog timer that is programmable from 30.5 to 512s, the RoHS compliant board has a guaranteed production life until at least 2016.
