• 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 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 512 MB (or more) of SODIMM DRAM. A 50% thicker PCB,
Ampro embedded BIOS extensions, such as watchdog timer, battery-free boot, a customizable
splash screen, BIOS recovery, and serial console, and optional –40°C to +85°C operation are
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, smart power monitor, and Ampro embedded BIOS
extensions.
• MightyBoard™ Family – These low-cost, high-performance single-board computers (SBC) use
the Mini-ITX form factor (6.7" x 6.7") 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 configuration control and
embedded BIOS extensions such as watchdog timer, battery-free boot, a customizable splash
screen, BIOS recovery, and serial console.
• MiniModule™ Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules compliant with
PC/104 and PC/104-Plus standards can be used with Ampro CoreModule, LittleBoard, and
ReadyBoard 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, additional RS-232/RS-485 serial ports, and general-
purpose I/O (GPIO).
