Arbor's ETX 3.02 CPU module has wide operating temperature

Arbor Technology (UK) Ltd is releasing the EmETX-i2304 ETX 3.02 CPU module. The EmETX-i2304 is based on the new Intel Atom processors E3800 family (formerly codenamed "Bay Trail'). For increased flexibility six versions of the EmETX-i2304 are available in various CPU combinations, including two models which support a wide operating temperature of between -40 to 85degC and another variant with a thermal design power (TDP) of just 6W.

The ETX (114 × 95mm) module offers a compelling entry price for this form factor, and the Intel Atom processors E3800 family variant features a stunning thermal design power (TDP) from 6W to 10W. Innovations include a large L2 cache shared by multiple cores and a faster Intel HD graphics unit compared with the previous generation. This turns new applications into visual experiences.

These modules support Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel AES-NI) set, which is more relevant than ever in practical application. This allows developers to offload particularly compute-intensive packaging and encryption routines of the well-known cryptographic algorithm AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) into hardware, thereby enabling high performance encryption without putting a significant burden on the CPU cores.

Arbor Technology's EmETX-i2304 ETX module provides up to 8 GB fast DDR3L memory via one SO-DIMM socket. The integrated graphics is significantly more powerful than the previous model and supports DirectX 11, OpenGL 3, OpenCL 1.2 and high-performance, flexible hardware decoding to decode even multiple high-resolution full HD videos in parallel. Up to 2560 × 1600 pixels with DisplayPort on the module and dual channels 24-bit LVDS support to two independent displays.

There is legacy support with four PCI masters and ISA Bus. Two SATA interfaces with up to 3Gb/s and one PATA channel enable fast and flexible system extensions, and four USB 2.0 ports are provided. The Realtek Ethernet Controller RTL8105E helps with software compatibility. ACPI 5.0, LPC bus for easy integration of legacy I/O interfaces and Intel High Definition Audio complete the feature set. The standard EmETX-i2304 supports an already extended temperature range of -20 to 70degC with two versions supporting an even wider temperature range of -40 to 85degC.
