Small 486/586 Computer Rich with SuperVGA, Analog I/O, Digital I/O, and 10/100 Ethernet
Micro/sys releases the small SBC0489 high performance 486/586 computer rich with SuperVGA, analog I/O, digital I/O, and 10/100 Ethernet. With 64MB of RAM, up to 128MB flash, and full AT-compatibility, high performance control systems can be developed as single board solutions.
Montrose, CA (PRWEB) September 7, 2005 -- Based on a high performance 486/586
core, the SBC0489 from Micro/sys provides truly single board solutions in a 5" x
5" footprint.
In addition to all expected PC features, such as SVGA and
disk controllers, the new model also includes digital I/O, analog-to-digital
converters, digital-to-analog converters, and Ethernet support for both 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-T. With 64MB of RAM, up to 128MB flash and full AT-compatibility,
high performance control systems can be developed as single board solutions.
SBC0489-based systems can run applications in many modes, from completely
headless and diskless (no operator interface or disk drives) to full disk based
GUI systems. The SBC0489 can boot DOS, LINUX, Windows CE, and other PC
compatible operating systems.
The SBC0489 is implemented with the STPC
Atlas processor, which offers speeds from 66MHZ to133MHz, on-chip cache, 64-bit
DRAM access, hardware floating point, and AT-compatible interrupt, timer, and
DMA controllers. The SBC0489 includes COM1, COM2, LPT1, SuperVGA, keyboard,
mouse, floppy, IDE, and an 8-by-8 matrix touchscreen or keypad interface. The
SuperVGA includes hardware acceleration, and drives CRT monitors and active
matrix TFT flat panel displays with resolutions to 1024 x 1024. Application I/O
offered on the SBC0489 includes 10/100MHz Ethernet, 24 CMOS I/O lines from an
82C55, eight channels of 12-bit A/D, four channels of 12-bit D/A, and three
16-bit timers from an 82C54. If needed, I/O expansion can be added to the
SBC0489 through both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus cards.
The large 128MB flash
space available on the SBC0489 can be used as solid state storage for operating
systems and large applications. Micro/sys installs a ready-to-run firmware
system on the SBC0489 at no cost. This firmware includes a complete industrial
BIOS, board setup screens, and application download utilities, and can create a
DOS-like execution environment immediately upon powerup. Borland or Microsoft
C/C++ 16-bit .EXE files can be downloaded to the board upon receipt.
Alternatively, the computer may be configured to boot 32-bit operating systems
upon powerup. A free development kit is provided that includes cables, sample
software, and full documentation.
The basic SBC0489 starts at $595 in
single quantity. Optional features are quite cost effective, as they do not
require additional boards. Significant OEM discounts are available. Contact
