EPIC/PM

Each EPIC/PM is a member of the EPIC board family. EPIC modules from Kontron are characterized by the same pinout and interface for PC/104™ & PC/104-Plus™, 4 x USB, DUAL LAN, Keyboard/Mouse-socket, Compact-Flash™, CRT, LPT, Sound and COM1. This family feature allows to re-use chassis and maximizes design re-use.

The advantage of EPIC/PM is the combination of latest Pentium® M performance bundled with best proven widest choice PC/104™ ISA I/O - besides full PC/104™ compliant I/O Expansion capacity with motherboard style frontside feature access. That way the CPU board itself, underneath the added I/O, arrives with almost all front plate accessible functionality - avoiding cable handling & cable cost.

This EPIC/PM hosts an Intel® Pentium® M or Celeron® M processor with ranges from 600 MHz up to 1.8 GHz. A DOUBLE socket DDRRAM- SODIMM for up to 2 GByte allows the use of standard notebook memory, ATX power supply and 5V single supply by adapter are a well standard feature. These homogeneous features facilitate easy upgrades within the EPIC product family. The high speed DUAL graphic controller is included in the chipset, that performs with up to 2 x 32 MByte UMA. Connection of displays is simplified when using these units which are complete with a JILI-Interface (JUMPtec® Intelligent LVDS Interface). JILI automatically recognizes which display is connected and independently sets all video parameters.
