EBX, PC/104-Plus and STD 32 Single Board Computer Solutions

VSBC-8 850MHz Pentium III EBX Single Board Computer

This feature-rich single board computer is designed specifically for OEM control projects requiring fast processing, industrial I/O, flexible memory options, designed-in reliability and long product lifespan / availability. The VSBC-8 features Intel's Pentium III or Celeron processor (to 850MHz). It is compatible with a wide selection of popular operating systems including most Windows and Real Time OSs. A Board Support package (BSP) is also available for Wind River Systems' VxWorks.

The VSBC-8 ships with General Software's Embedded BIOS® 2000 and is fully compatible with Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) from Argon Technology Corp to provide added network boot capability.

Full EBX compliance allows easy migration to future boards or alternate sources. Enclosure or mounting changes are not required when migrating between EBX-compatible products.

Up to 256 MB of PC100 compatible SDRAM is supported in a high-reliability latching DIMM socket. Application programs and files can be stored in a bootable DiskOnChip Flash device. A battery-backed SRAM can be used in lieu of the DiskOnChip.

Flat Panel Support

The VSBC-8 features high reliability design and construction including latching I/O connectors, watchdog timer, long-life battery, and voltage sensing reset circuit. It also features spread spectrum clock generation technology for lower EMI and self-resetting fuse on the 5V supply to the keyboard, mouse, USB and Opto 22. AGP video (C&T 69030) flat panel support is another attractive feature

An onboard programmable CPU temperature sensor is included for use in difficult thermal situations. The sensor output can be used to turn on additional fans, create local or remote warnings or take other action through software triggers.

This exceptional SBC was designed from the ground up for OEM applications with longevity and reliability as the focus. Each board is subjected to burn-in and complete functional testing and backed by a limited two-year warranty. It is fully supported by the VersaLogic design team. Both hardware and software (BIOS) customisation is available in quantities as low as 100 pieces.
