System Overview
PDSI’s new AMD Socket S1 COM Express Module (COMX-S1) is a low cost, compact, embeddable computing core with the capability to drive a broad range of OEM applications. Built around AMD’s x86-based Socket S1 processors, it enables 64-bit computing at a progression of performance levels from the ultra low-power AMD Sempron 2100+ (perfect for fanless applications) to the dual-core muscle of AMD Turion X2 TL62.
The Computer-on-Module design is fully compliant with PICMG COM Express Type 2 specifications, offering a large variety of interfaces to cover the needs of most embedded applications. The AMD M690/SB600 chipset provides I/O versatility, with interfaces for high speed data, audio, high-resolution graphics and more. PDSI’s companion COM Express Carrier Board (COMX-CB) provides a plug-and-go platform with physical ports for virtually all of the I/O types supported by the COM Express Module.
The COMX-S1 module offers an economical way to significantly reduce initial platform design time and risk, while also enabling convenient serviceability and future upgradeability just unplug and update the COM Module while leaving the application-specific I/O carrier in place. Reduce total ownership costs with this revolutionary computing platform standard that brings increased flexibility and modularity to higher volume embedded applications.
