• LittleBoard 486e – This embedded processor module is a high integration, high-performance,
rugged, high quality 100MHz 486DX4 based PC/AT compatible single board system with all of
the standard peripheral interfaces, plus the PC/104 interface and the equivalent of up to six
expansion boards. In addition to the standard LittleBoard features (8x5.75 inch form factor,
PC/104 bus, +5 volt power, etc.), the LittleBoard 486e includes a CompactFlash socket for IDE
solid state drive support, a bytewide socket, two IDE drives, one Ethernet 10BaseT interface, four
RS232 serial ports with RS485 option on one port, and PCAT keyboard/serial mouse.
Other Ampro Products
•
CoreModule Family – These complete embedded-PC subsystems on single PC/104 or PC/104-
Plus form-factor (3.6x3.8 inches) modules feature 486, Pentium MMX, and Celeron CPUs. Each
CoreModule includes a full complement of PC core logic functions, plus disk controllers, and
serial and parallel ports. Some modules also include CRT and flat panel graphics controllers
and/or an Ethernet interface. The CoreModules also come with built-in extras to meet the critical
reliability requirements of embedded applications. These include onboard solid state disk
compatibility, watchdog timer, smart power monitor, and other embedded-PC BIOS
enhancements.
• EnCore Family - These high-performance, compact, modular CPU solutions use various
processor technologies including Intel x86, MIPS, and PowerPC architectures to plug into your
custom baseboard. Each EnCore module provides standard peripherals, including Ultra/DMA
33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse
interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, and USB ports. Some EnCore modules also provide video and
AC97 sound. Depending on the model, EnCore modules support up to 256MB or 512MB of
SODIMM DRAM.
•
MiniModule Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules compliant with
PC/104 and PC/104-Plus can be used with Ampro CoreModule and LittleBoard single-board
computers to configure embedded system solutions. Ampro's highly reliable MiniModule
products currently support USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), Ethernet, PC Card expansion,
analog/data acquisition, FPGA, additional RS232/RS485 serial ports, and general-purpose I/O
(GPIO).
