Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly "clear" the sys-
tem at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset
at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate.
CompactFlash
The system board is equipped with the CompactFlash socket for inserting a
TM
CompactFlash card. CompactFlash card is a small removable mass storage
TM TM
device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile storage solution that does
not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash technology
TM
is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam-
eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and
personal communicators.
DDR2
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers
bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the con-
ventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules
work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2
also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well
as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
Integrated Graphics
The integrated Intel Gen3.5 graphics engine delivers an excellent video and 3D
graphics for large display applications. Graphics interfaces such as VGA, DVI and
LVDS support multiple graphics display options.
S3 Graphics
The S3 Graphics Chrome 435 ULP provides hardware acceleration for all leading
video standards including H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, WMV-HD, and AVS, for a stun-
ning HD movie experience. It enables complete multimedia solution of real-time
rendering capabilities for life-like visualization of 3D graphics and images for
an enhanced game experience and 3D application look-and-feel, along with full
1080p dual-stream (PiP) playback. Graphics interfaces such as DVI and HDMI
support multiple graphics display options.
DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to
maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics
cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig-
naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC's graphics subsystem to
the display.
