IPC2U Group announces a new Embedded Compact Extended form factor product PEB-2730VL

Portwell announced PEB-2730VL which is the first 3.5’’ embedded board based on the new Intel Embedded Compact Extended initiative. Portwell developed board with the Intel proof-of-concept based on Intel 915GM chipset enabling us to accelerate our development cycle. With a combination of low-voltage Intel Pentium M processor and the Intel 915GM chipset, it delivers the highest level of performance at the lowest possible voltage. This form factor could help to meet the application requirement of in-car infotainment systems, medical equipment and interactive client, including POS and KIOSK.

The Intel ECX form factor is highly integrated with rich I/O connections and interfaces to meet the expansion needs of particular applications. In addition, it fits into a standard DIN slot for vehicle infotainment within the space-constrained environment. Since its relatively small size enables a 75 percent space reduction compared to a micro-ATX board. The thermal constraint is also an issue. Power by the low-power characteristic of the Intel Pentium M processor, PEB-2730VL provides a fanless thermal solution for the Intel ECX form factor helps to eliminate noise and reliability issues. While incorporating the Intel 915GM Express chipset with 533 MHz front-side bus, it delivers an L2 cache of 2 MB and consists Intel GMA 900 that is an optimized integrated graphic solution. It features a low-power design and supports up to 1GB of DDR2 266/333 MHz system memory optimizing the high-density and high-performance in the embedded computing market.
