	Description Overview The Lynx single board computer is a compact 586 class product with integrated networking and I/O. With its small size, low power consumption, ruggedness, on-board storage capabilities, high-speed networking and low cost, the Lynx is well-suited to applications such as industrial control, data monitoring and remote data collection. It can be used stand-alone as an Ethernet processor node, or with a PC/104 video module in situations requiring a display. It supports both ISA and PCI busses through the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors. The pass-through connectors allow the Lynx to be mounted above or below a proprietary I/O board or device. Details The Lynx is based on the AMD Élan SC520 processor which operates at 133 MHz in the standard version and 100 MHz in the extended temperature version. This complete SBC includes 64 MB of on-board system RAM, a compact flash interface, 10/100 Ethernet, IDE interface, 4 COM ports, LPT interface, floppy interface, and two counter/timers. A 2 MB battery-backed static (BBS) RAM option offers on-board RAM with no required drivers. This PC/104-Plus single board computer is an extremely rugged hardware platform due to its compact size, soldered-on processor and RAM, and high-reliability features. There are no moving parts, the compact flash resides in a high-retention industrial socket, and it is highly tolerant to shock and vibration. A watchdog timeout provides hardware-level control over unresponsive applications while the voltage sensing reset circuit provides protection from low voltage system failures. Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) devices built into critical I/O ports provide enhanced ESD protection. An industrial long-life battery provides back-up for the real-time clock and CMOS settings. Battery-less operation is also supported. A self-resetting fuse on the 5V supply to the mouse and keyboard protects against cable and connector shorts. The Lynx is compatible with a wide selection of popular x86 operating systems including most Linux, Windows, and real time OSs. Contact VersaLogic for more information.
