A rather mighty Atom
08 September 2009
ADLINK Technology has announced that its ETX-AT has been verified for use with Virtium's SSDDR SODIMM
The ETX-AT computer-on-module is based on the Intel Atom N270 and it has been designed and verified for use with Virtium's SSDDR SODIMM dual function memory modules, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with standard SODIMM memory.
Virtium’s SSDDR combines a NAND Flash Serial ATA Solid State Drive (SATA SSD) and DDR2 memory on a single SODIMM module by utilising reserved pins on the SODIMM for SATA interface signal transfer, thereby remaining fully JEDEC compatible. This allows the SSDDR modules and standard DDR2 modules to be fully interchangeable within the same SODIMM socket.SSDDR is SATA SSD and System Memory on a single SODI. Virtium's SSDDR solution allows system designers to take advantage of the higher data throughput and decreased boot-up times of SATA SSD over other embedded SSD and interfaces such as USB, CF (Compact Flash with IDE interface), and SD (Secure Digital). The SSDDR SODIMM also allows users to implement an SSD on the ETX-AT as a drop-in part without any hardware modification.
When the ETX-AT is equipped with the SSDDR SODIMM solution, data throughput dramatically increases two to four times compared to that of standard embedded SSD, USB interface, CompactFlash and SD cards. The SSDDR SODIMM is the higher performance SATA disk-on-module solution for embedded applications.
The ETX-AT, based on Intel’s Atom N270 processor and 945GSE/ICH7 combination, is positioned as an entry level ETX module for generic systems but also for systems that require a full set of graphics features. The module comes with integrated support for high resolution CRT, single/dual channel LVDS and TV-out (SDTV and HDTV). The ETX-AT conforms to the latest ETX 3.02 form factor standard that provides two additional SATA ports on the module while maintaining full backward compatibility with earlier ETX standards. A very low power consumption of below 10 watts makes this module suited for truly fanless or deeply embedded systems.
