Description
Overview
The Cobra belongs to a new class of embedded computers offering higher processing
performance with lower power consumption, extreme graphics capability and enhanced
ruggedization. The advanced design makes it suitable for a wide range of higher-end
applications with demanding speed and graphics requirements, including gaming
devices, information kiosks telecommunications devices and advanced security
systems. In addition, its PC architecture and small footprint make it an excellent
choice for traditional embedded applications. The Cobra is available in several
versions, including models for standard and extended temperature operation.
See the Ordering Information section for more information.
The system
is built around the M-series processors, and their companion chipset, the 855GME
with integrated Extreme Graphics 2 and audio functions. The Pentium M version
Cobra incorporates a number of power saving features, including the SpeedStep
technology, and performance enhancing features such as a large 1 MB level 2
cache. The advanced graphics controller provides exceptionally sharp images,
ultra-fast rendering, and smooth sequencing to produce realistic 3-D graphics
and animation.
The board
features two SODIMM sockets, which support up to 2 GB of system RAM. The rugged,
low-profile RAM sockets provide more reliable operation in applications subject
to shock and vibration. The DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM interface provides fast
memory access and increased system throughput.
Like all
VersaLogic products, the Cobra is designed and guaranteed for long-term availability.
From application design to continuing production, it provides a cost-effective
solution with low total cost of ownership. The Cobra is manufactured to the
highest quality standards, and is backed with excellent technical and engineering
support. Customization is available in quantities as low as 100 pieces.
Details
The Cobra features an Intel Pentium M® or Celeron M® processor and 855
GME chipset to provide main processing, device support, and analog or flat panel
video output. The system is complimented by a wide array of I/O devices for
communication with peripherals, networked systems and specialized devices. On-board
I/O includes two Gigabit or 10/100 Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 ports, RS-232
and RS/422/485 COM ports, compact flash socket, LPT port, digital I/O ports,
counter/timers, field-reprogrammable BIOS, and optional A/D converter. The PC/104-Plus
expansion site can accept a wide variety of PC/104 and PC/104-Plus
I/O modules for additional expansion when needed.
The Cobra
also provides durability and reliability through features like latching I/O
connectors, a programmable CPU temperature sensor, voltage-sensing reset circuit,
watchdog timer, and long-life industrial battery. TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression)
devices on the primary system I/O connections help protect the system from ESD
(electrostatic discharge) damage. A self-resetting fuse on the 5V power to the
keyboard, mouse and USB ports protects the board from cable or connector shorts.
