FREMONT, CALIF. —October 13, 2010— Customers seeking increased performance while keeping power consumption in check will be pleased to hear that American Portwell Technology, Inc., (http://www.portwell.com) has released a new 3.5˝ ECX compact embedded system board that includes all of the performance enhancing advanced features gained from Intel’s second-generation dual-core Atom processors. The new compact (146mm x 105mm) PEB-2771VG2A embedded system board is perfect for a whole range of general applications such as medical devices, industrial automation and handheld gaming; and embedded applications such as home entertainment, in-vehicle infotainment, network devices and high-end vending machines; and non-security-based applications such as VPN, network monitoring and gateway.

Based on Intel’s dual-core Atom processor D525 with Intel NM10 Express Chipset, the PEB-2771VG2A board supports DDR3 800 SODIMM system memory up to 4GB, dual display via VGA and LVDS, dual Gigabit Ethernet, onboard 12V DC input, two SATA interfaces, one 44-pin IDE connector, Type II Compact Flash socket, six USB ports, four serial ports and GPIO.

Great performance per watt

“The compact 3.5˝ ECX embedded PEB-2771VG2A system board utilizes D525 dual core technology, which is Intel’s most powerful Atom-based processor to date,” states Jack Lam, American Portwell Technology’s senior product marketing manager. “The benefit for our customers is that the dual-core 1.8GHz processor can handle most essential applications in the low-power segment. With its high speed and low power consumption,” Lam adds, “the new PEB-2771VG2A offers great performance per watt.”

Fanless configuration and long product life cycle

According to Frank Shen, American Portwell Technology’s product marketing director, the compact (5.75˝ x 4.00˝) PEB-2771VG2A board benefits from the Atom processor’s low power and low heat so it can function as a fanless and battery-operated configuration to provide greater flexibility and cost-savings. What’s more,” Shen continues, “our customers not only benefit from American Portwell’s ability to consistently provide the most up-to-date technology and features, but they also gain peace of mind from the long life cycle support inherent with every Portwell product.”
