Product Description

The CoreModule 430 SBC is an exceptionally high integration, x86-based PC compatible system in the
PC/104 form factor. This rugged and high quality single board system contains all the component
subsystems of a PC/AT motherboard plus the equivalent of several PC/AT expansion boards.
In addition, the CoreModule 430 SBC includes a comprehensive set of system extensions and enhancements
that are specifically designed for embedded systems. These enhancements ensure fail-safe embedded system
operation, such as a watchdog timer. The CoreModule 430 is designed to meet the size, power consumption,
temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded applications. The CoreModule 430 requires
a single +5V power source.
The CoreModule 430 SBC is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications. Its
flexibility makes system design quick and easy. It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules or other
PC/104-compliant expansion boards, or it can be used as the computing engine in a fully customized
application.
