May 12, 2009 - Avalue Technology's industrial Mini-ITX form factor motherboard, EMX-945GSE, is based on the Intel Navy Pier platform, Atom N270 processor with mobile Intel 945GSE express chipset, which is featuring the optimal performance with lowest energy waste. The EMX-945GSE supports both 48-bit LVDS and two channels of 18-bit LVDS with DVI interface for multi-display configurations. It enables users have more flexibilities and possibilities on creating their own machines.The Intel Atom processor N270 is not only power-optimized but delivering dual-core like performance through its Hyper-Threading Technology, especially for cost-effective embedded solutions.
Avalue’s EMX-945GSE motherboard supports DDR2 SODIMM memory up to 2GB; it comes with CPU and system monitoring, smart fan control, as well as watchdog timer. The module offers an excellent solution for embedded market segments such as digital signage, interactive clients (kiosks, point-of-sale terminals), thin clients, digital security, residential gateways, print imaging, and commercial and industrial control.
48-bit LVDS Supported
The EMX-945GSE motherboard features 32-bit graphics engine based on Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with LVDS, DVI, CRT ports to provide multiple graphic displays. Furthermore, this module has an additional support for dual channel 24-bit LVDS in order to perfectly present high-definition video transmission especially as connecting with larger size (17 inch above) LCD panels.The EMX-945GSE comes with PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse, four COM ports. Networking is provided by two Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit LANs.
It provides one IDE connector, two SATA connectors, and six USB 2.0 ports. It also offers Realtek ALC888 5.1-CH HD audio with interface Line-in/Line-out/Mic-in, 8-bit GPIO, and Compact Flash socket. The board delivers high-bandwidth expansion slots with one Mini PCIe and one PCI slot for future add-in card upgrades.
The EMX-945GSE is compatible with Win 2000 / XP / 98 / 95, Linux and Win CE operating systems for embedded applications.
