Description
Overview
The Tiger is an embedded single board computer (SBC) featuring a
high-performance Intel Atom Z5xx processor. Based on the PC/104-Plus industry standard form factor, the Tiger supports both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus
stackable expansion boards. With its combination of high performance
(up to 1.6 GHz), low power consumption (6W typ. while executing code),
and fanless operation, the Tiger is an ideal embedded computer solution
for space, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained embedded applications in
industrial, energy, defense/aerospace, medical, and robotics markets.
Like all VersaLogic products, the Tiger 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 Tiger provides a durable embedded computer solution
with an excellent cost of ownership. The Tiger 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 an Intel Atom Z5xx processor designed specifically for
embedded applications, the Tiger runs completely fanless at up to 1.6
(commercial temperature) or 1.33 GHz (industrial temperature). 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.
Enhanced low-power states, including the new C6 state (Deep Power Down
Technolog), allow designers to further minimize overall power
consumption.
The integrated graphics core of the Atom Z5xx processor supports
advanced 3D graphics and high-definition video decode. Video output is
provided through an integrated LVDS flat panel video interface and
optional analog VGA support.
Tiger’s standard on-board features include gigabit Ethernet with
network boot capability, SO-DIMM socket for up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM, seven
USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support for two
devices, HD audio, and a Disk on Module (DOM) socket for removable flash
storage. PC/104-Plus expansion provides plug-in access to a
wide variety of industry standard expansion modules. VersaLogic’s SPX
expansion interface provides access to cost-effective plug-in analog,
digital, CANbus, and custom I/O solutions.
Available in both industrial (-40° to +85°C) and commercial (0° to
+60°C) temperature versions; the Tiger 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 which is critical in many OEM applications.
The Tiger 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
Tiger is compatible with a variety of popular operating systems
including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
