Specifications
2 158004.B00
1.2 TP400 FEATURES
• High integration processor: a Geode GX1 processor is fitted, running at up to
300MHz.
• PC/104 V2.3 16-bit bus interface for wide compatibility.
• PC/104-Plus connector is fitted to allow PCI expansion cards to be used.
• Floppy and IDE disk controllers.
• Four serial ports - three are RS-232 compatible and one provides TTL level
signals only. COM2 is user-configurable as RS-485.
• The COM2 serial port can be optionally configured for IrDA-compatible infrared
serial communications.
• Bi-directional Centronics parallel port. EPP and ECP compatible.
• Up to 256M bytes of SDRAM. SDRAM is implemented with a user-installable 144-
pin SODIMM module (dual in line memory module). 32M, 64M, 128M and 256M
byte modules are available.
• 2M-byte flash memory for BIOS and solid-state disk is fitted as standard.
Alternatively 4M or 8M bytes may be fitted by special order. A Flash File System
is provided with every TP400, to provide a read-write logical disk drive.
• Keyboard, PS/2 mouse and speaker ports.
• Two high-speed USB ports. Filter components and a dual USB socket are
provided on a small PCB (the TP300USB) which connects via twisted pair cable
to the TP400
• The Geode GX1 integrates graphics circuitry, providing VGA graphics on CRT
monitors at resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024 and TFT displays at resolutions of up
to 1024 x 768. The graphics accelerator uses part of the system memory for high
performance and low system cost. MMX instruction set and MPEG hardware
acceleration enhance video performance.
• High-speed serial PanelLink interface to drive displays over twisted pair cable at a
distance of up to 10m.
• The Geode GX1 integrates a SoundBlaster compatible sound system. The
TP400 can record and play back high-quality audio.
• 10/100Base-T Ethernet chip. The Ethernet magnetics and RJ45 socket are
provided on a small PCB (the TP400ET, an optional extra) that connects via
twisted pair cable to the TP400.
