NEPTUNE HIGHLY INTEGRATED EMBEDDED SBC WITH USER‐SELECTABLE ETX CPU PROCESSOR CORE • Highest level of integration in a single board computer: Replaces 6 individual boards • ETX CPU core provides flexibility in price/performance, reduces cost and protects against obsolescence • Choice of AMD LX800 up to Intel Core 2 Duo processors with 512MB to 2GB system memory • Best‐in‐class analog data acquisition with autocalibration and software support • 5V, 7‐28V DC/DC power supply for easier system integration • EPIC format with PC/104‐Plus expansion provides compact size with flexibility DESCRIPTION Neptune introduces a new concept in small form factor embedded SBCs. The CPU core consists of an ETX module which mounts on the bottom side of the baseboard for improved thermal management. This technique provides more room on the top for I/O features. The result is an efficient, cost‐effective, reliable and compact embedded SBC rich in I/O and other user benefits. Neptune is the first 6‐in‐1 embedded SBC integrating processor, system I/O, data acquisition and even a DC/DC power supply onto a single board in the compact EPIC format. Integrates the functions of 6 boards into 1! • • • • • • CPU Data Acquisition Opto‐isolated Digital I/O Multiprotocol Serial Ports Gigabit Ethernet DC/DC Power Supply You can select from a wide range of ETX CPU modules from a world‐class supplier to tailor Neptune’s price and performance to you application and budget. A PC/104‐ Plus expansion connector enables you to add still more I/O or features if needed, and the built in 5V or 7‐28V input DC/DC power supply provides flexibility in integrating the SBC with your system power supply. These features give Neptune an unsurpassed level of value and flexibility in a small form factor embedded SBC. DATA ACQUISITION Neptune includes Diamond Systems’ top‐of‐the‐line data acquisition circuitry with the industry’s widest set of I/O features: • • • • • • • 32 analog inputs, 16‐bit A/D, 250KHz sample rate 4 analog outputs, 12‐bit D/A 24 digital I/O 8 opto‐isolated digital inputs 8 opto‐isolated digital outputs 2 counter/timers for A/D sample rate control Universal Driver software support for C programming under Windows and Linux BENEFITS OF 6‐in‐1 INTEGRATION LESS SPACE: Smaller and thinner than a stack of PC/104 boards LOWER COST: An integrated solution eliminates extra PCBs and connectors to lower the unit cost HIGHER RELIABILITY: Less interconnects and components, resulting in higher reliability MORE RUGGED: The flatter profile and reduction in connectors makes Neptune far more rugged in mobile applications SINGLE VENDOR: Purchasing and stocking are easier with a single board SAVES TIME: Assembly effort is dramatically reduced, shortening your total system integration time www.diamondsystems.com BENEFITS OF AN ETX PROCSSOR CORE THERMAL MANAGEMENT Choice of Price/Performance Neptune is available with a low power AMD LX800 up to an Intel Atom N270 so you can obtain exactly the performance and price point you need. Neptune places the processor on the bottom side of the baseboard. An integrated heat spreader makes thermal contact with the heat generating components on the ETX CPU module and provides a flat surface on the bottom side for mating to the system enclosure. This technique provides for efficient removal of heat from the CPU without the need for a fan. Protection from Obsolescence Easily switch processor modules in case of processor end of life. Easy Upgrade ETX CPUs are interchangeable, allowing you to easily upgrade your system with minimal or no redesign. ETX CPU MODULE OPTIONS Processor AMD LX800 500MHz Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz Low Cost ETX modules cost less than their equivalent single board computer, resulting in a lower total cost for Neptune. Underside of Neptune showing ETX CPU module 0/+60°C Yes Yes Yes ‐30/+85°C Yes Yes Yes SYSTEM I/O FEATURES All Neptune models include the following standard CPU I/O features in addition to the data acquisition and DC/DC power supply. AUTOCALIBRATION FOR BEST MEASUREMENT ACCURACY Serial Ports USB Diamond Systems’ top‐performing autocalibration circuitry enables you to calibrate the analog circuits under software control at any time, maintaining best accuracy under any conditions. Temperature and time dependent measurement drift is eliminated, as the SBC can be calibrated as often as desired in just a few seconds to ensure accurate readings in all environmental conditions.
