Introduction

The PCM-3363 is a fanless, low power, small size (96X90mm), performance PCI-104
SBC (Single Board Computer) geared to satisfy the needs for various industrial com-
puting equipment. PCM-3363 is ideal for communication, environment monitoring,
factory automation, military, and medical applications that require flat panel support
using digital displays with LVDS interfaces and single Ethernet port.
For those who want superior performance for various low-power embedded applica-
tions, PCM-3363 uses an Intel® Atom™ N455/D525 processor, supporting on-board
1 GB DDRIII 800MHz SDRAM.
PCM-3363 has an integrated graphics controller contains a refresh of the 3rd genera-
tion graphics core with 224 MB shared memory. This feature makes PCM-3363 is
capable of handling complex and intense 2D/3D graphic processing, its CRT and
LVDS dual display ports also makes it suitable for applications requiring multiple dis-
play configurations or digital panel display capabilities.
PCM-3363 equips convenient and locked connector to offer multiple I/Os including
single 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, four USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0, one SATA2
interface, 8-bit general purpose Input/Output, two RS-232 serial ports and one RS-
422/485 serial port for easy and reliable system expansibility. PCI-104 self-stacking
rugged mechanical architecture and extended temperature operation makes it ideal
for outdoor applications in military and transportation fields.
PCM-3363 has built-in Lite iManager to provide "Extreme Cold Start guaranteed" and
"Voltage Dip protection Capacity" function in default. It also can support numerous
operating systems including Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Embedded Stan-
dard, Windows CE, Linux, QNX and VxWorks. PCM-3363 offers drivers and rich soft-
ware API for application development including SMBus, GPIO, Watchdog Timer,
Hardware Monitor and Brightness Control.
