Description
Overview
The Mamba is an embedded single board computer (SBC) featuring a high-performance Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Based on the EBX industry-standard form factor, the Mamba supports PC/104-Plus stackable expansion boards. With its combination of very high performance (up to 2.26 GHz), mid-range power consumption (18.5W typ.), and extensive on-board I/O capabilities, the Mamba is an ideal embedded computer solution for medical, security, defense, transportation, and industrial applications that rely on fast on-board processing of large amounts of data.
Like all VersaLogic products, the Mamba is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in support, to its 5+ year production life guarantee, the Mamba provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost of ownership. The Mamba is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is fully RoHS compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities.
Details
Driven by a 2nd generation Intel Core 2 Duo processor designed specifically for embedded applications, the Mamba runs at up to 2.26 GHz. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology provides dynamic processor frequency scaling to meet instantaneous performance needs while minimizing power draw and heat dissipation. This allows users to fine-tune the balance between power conservation and performance to suit their application needs.
Intel’s GM45 + ICH9M chipset offers graphics core speeds up to 533 MHz for high-end graphics, advanced 3D rendering, high-definition video playback, and media acceleration for video CODECs. A dual-channel LVDS flat panel interface and an analog VGA video interface support a wide range of display configurations.
Mamba’s standard on-board features include dual gigabit Ethernet, two SO-DIMM sockets for up to 8 GB DDR3 RAM, six USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, two SATA ports, HD audio, and eUSB flash storage. On-board data acquisition features include up to sixteen analog inputs, up to eight analog outputs, and thirty-two digital I/O lines. The PC/104-Plus expansion site provides plug-in access to industry-standard expansion modules. Additional system expansion and communications flexibility is available via the on-board PCI Express Mini Card socket which can accommodate plug-in Wi-Fi modems, GPS receivers, and more. VersaLogic’s SPX expansion interface creates additional access to cost-effective plug-in I/O including analog, digital, and CANbus solutions.
Available in both industrial (-40° to +85°C) and commercial (0° to +60°C) temperature versions; the Mamba meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices on critical I/O ports provide enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for the system.
The Mamba features an embedded BIOS with OEM enhancements from Phoenix Technologies. The field-reprogrammable BIOS supports custom defaults and the addition of firmbase applications for security processes, remote booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Mamba is compatible with a variety of popular operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
