"Compact" COM Express module with Intel Atom N270 and 945GSE/ICH7M Chipset

ADLINK has announced the Express-ATC, a high integrated "Compact" COM Express module measuring 95 x 95 millimeters, based on the low power Intel Atom N270 processor and Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset, the Express-ATC comes with integrated support for high resolution CRT, single/dual channel LVDS and TV out (SDTV and HDTV). In addition to the onboard-integrated graphics, the chipset's SDVO bus can be used to connect to DVI, TMDS. And it is compatible with the Type 2 pin-out of the PICMG COM Express specification. This module is an off-the-shelf building block that is ready to plug into application-specific carrier boards for embedded and mobile applications.

Key features of the Express-ATC are,

Intel Atom N270 processor at 1.6 GHz
Intel 945GSE / ICH7M chipset
Supports up to 2 GB DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM
Three PCIe x1 (optional 4 x1 or 1 x4)
High resolution CRT, single/dual 18-bit LVDS and TV-out (SDTV and HDTV)
SATA, IDE (PATA), Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0
Optional 1GB ~ 8GB IDE-based Solid State Drive

And the suggested applications are Medical diagnostics and Medical Imaging, Gaming, Industrial Automation, Test and Measurement and Industrial Control.

The Express-ATC is an entry level COM Express module for systems that require a full set of graphics in small package and supports three PCI Express x1 lanes via the Intel I/O controller hub 7-M (ICH7-M) Southbridge, one Gigabit Ethernet connection and two SATA channels. Legacy support is provided for a single Parallel ATA channel, 32-bit PCI and Low Pin Count bus (LPC).

The Express-ATC supports onboard IDE-based Solid State Drive (SSD) up to 8GB, and comes standard with an integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2) providing secure storage of encryption keys for system and data protection. The module is equipped with AMIBIOS8 supporting embedded features such as Remote Console, CMOS backup, CPU and System Monitoring, Watchdog Timer, and OEM Splash Screen. Positioned for portable and mobile applications, the Express-ATC BIOS supports ACPI-based Smart Battery for single or dual smart battery sub systems.
