Other Ampro Products
• CoreModule™ Family – These complete embedded-PC subsystems on single PC/104 or PC/104-
Plus form-factor (3.6"x3.8") modules feature 486, Celeron, and Celeron M CPUs. Each
CoreModule includes a full complement of PC core logic functions, plus disk controllers, and
serial and parallel ports. Most 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 Ampro embedded BIOS extensions.
• ETX Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions
use various x86 processors from Intel Celeron to Pentium M CPUs in an ETX Revision 2.7 form
factor to plug into your custom baseboard. Each ETX module provides standard peripherals,
including dual Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, ISA bus, serial,
parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB ports, Video, and
AC’97 audio. ETX modules support up to 1 GB of SODIMM DRAM and come with a 50%
thicker PCB, and additional features, such as watchdog timer, battery-free boot, a customizable
splash screen, BIOS recovery, and serial console. Optional –40°C to +85°C operation is also
available to meet your rugged application requirements.
• LittleBoard™ Family – These high-performance, highly integrated single-board computers use
the EBX form factor (5.75"x8.00"), and are available with the Intel Pentium M, Celeron M,
Pentium III, or Celeron processors. The EBX-compliant LittleBoard single-board computers
offer functions equivalent to a complete laptop or desktop PC system, plus several expansion
cards. Built-in extras to meet the critical requirements of embedded applications include onboard
solid state disk capability, watchdog timer, a customizable splash screen, BIOS recovery, serial
console, smart power monitor and optional –40°C to +85°C operation.
• MightyBoard™ Family – These low-cost, high-performance single-board computers (SBC) use
the Mini-ITX form factor (6.75" x 6.75") and are available with Intel Celeron M and Pentium M
processors. MightyBoard products offer the equivalent functions of a complete laptop or desktop
PC system, including DDR memory, high performance graphics, USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, plus
standard PCI expansion capability in one card slot. Ampro includes additional features, such as,
watchdog timer, battery-free boot, a customizable splash screen, BIOS recovery, and serial
console.
• MiniModule™ Family – This line of peripheral interface modules, compliant with PC/104,
PC/104-Plus, and/or PCI-104 standards (3.6"x3.8"), can be used with Ampro's CoreModule,
LittleBoard, and ReadyBoard single board computers (SBCs) to expand the I/O configuration of
embedded systems. Ampro's highly reliable MiniModule products add value to existing designs
by adding I/O ports, such as IEEE 1394 (Firewire), or by adding support for legacy boards, such
as a PCI to ISA bridge adapter.
