	Description Overview The Puma is an extremely compact and rugged single board computer that combines a high degree of functionality with low power requirements and no moving parts. The inherent ruggedness of the Puma’s PC/104 size combined with the low power AMD GX 500 processor make this board a great fit for portable devices, vehicular/aircraft controls, medical electronics, and many other OEM applications. The Puma has an impressive list of on-board features, including integrated high-performance video with flat panel support, 10/100 Ethernet, four USB ports, three COM ports, LPT port, and an IDE interface. A CompactFlash socket provides bootable media storage, and TVS devices provide enhanced ESD protection on user I/O ports. The Puma includes 256 MB of soldered-on, high-speed RAM for optimum application performance. Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+ years production life, its quality and longevity provide a cost-effective, long-term solution. Customization is available on as few as 100 pieces. The Puma is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is backed by a two year limited warranty. Details The Puma features the AMD GX 500 processor, which offers excellent performance (500 MHz equivalent) while drawing only one watt of power. This highly-integrated processor provides extremely fast on-board transfers (6 GB per second), high-speed memory access, and integrated high-performance video with LVDS flat panel support. The Puma can operate as a stand-alone SBC or can be combined with specialized PC/104 or PC/104-Plus I/O boards for additional functionality. Pass-through connectors for the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interfaces provide support for many off-the-shelf I/O boards and also provide an interface for custom baseboards that may be larger than the Puma. The Puma includes several features to support the reliable operation of the board in the field, including TVS devices and self-resetting fuses on USB port power pins. The TVS devices provide enhanced ESD protection for the analog video output, USB, COM, LPT, and Ethernet ports.
