Ruggedised, Extended Temperature COM Express Modules

Ruggedised, Extended Temperature COM Express™ Modules Based On Intel® Atom™ Processor

By removing the processor, chipset, and memory from the rest of the design, the new module enables manufacturers to focus their engineering resources on developing differentiating features and avoid the design churn that comes with implementing new processor generations, particularly in products that need to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

 

RadiSys Corporation took the opportunity presented by its presence at Embedded World at the beginning of March to release details of its new industrial-temperature (-40C to +85C), ruggedised COM Express module based on the recently announced options for the Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series.

The latest addition to the RadiSys Procelerant™ family of COM Express products is based on the recently announced options for the Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series and is able to operate in industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C

Like all RadiSys Procelerant COM Express products the CEZ5XL is designed to help equipment manufacturers shorten their time-to- market and reduce development costs: particularly in industrial automation, transportation, military, aerospace and government products that need to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

According to Wade Clowes, Vice President and General Manager of commercial markets for RadiSys, the new CEZ5XL module is the perfect complement to the new RadiSys Procelerant™ IS 1000 suite of embedded system platforms built on COM Express modules, or Single Board Computers, combined with fully integrated operating systems and software solutions for target applications: “Our Procelerant™ family of COM Express products enables our customers to select the ideal module for their design based on performance, power and temperature requirements. For example, the Procelerant CEZ5XL opens up new opportunities for companies developing military and government equipment, where the same unmanned ground vehicles could be destined for use in the heat of Baghdad or the cold of the North Pole. And because it incorporates the latest Intel® technology, which comes with a seven-year long lifecycle, the CEZ5XL enables us to meet customers’ current and future design specifications”.

The Procelerant™ CEZ5XL module also features enhanced I/O made possible via a PCI bridge a PCIe switch that provides 4x PCIe interfaces to the COM Express B2B connector, a SATA controller and optional on-board PATA SSD
