  • Page 11: Introduction

    Introduction The GENE-6310 is an all-in-one VIA Eden Series processor based single board computer (SBC) with an Integrated AGP 4X 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator, an audio controller, a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Controller, Dual channel LVDS interface, and PC/104 plus expansion capability. This compact (only 5.75"“ x 4") unit offers all the functions of a single board computer, but still fits in the space of a FDD drive.

  • Page 12: Lvds Introduction

    LVDS Introduction Low Voltage Differential Signaling is a low noise, low power, low amplitude method for high-speed (gigabits per second) data transmission over copper wire. LVDS differs from normal input/output (I/O) in a few ways: Normal digital I/O works with 5 volts as a high (binary 1) and 0 volts as a low (binary 0). When you use a LVDS, you add a third option (-5 volts), which provides an extra level with which to encode and results in a higher maximum data tranfer rate.
