Advanced Digital Logic has announced the ADLD25PC PCI/104 Express board series to offer cooling solutions, optional extras, and connection cables for the Atom Pineview D525 platform. The 1inch ADLD25PC-SP01000 and 0.6inch ADLD25PC-SP0600 heat spreaders are thermal coupling elements that connect the SBC (single board computer) to a metal surface for heat dissipation. Due to the fact that it uses a standard height, the 1inch spreader is claimed to permit the overall assembly of the system. The 0.6inch spreader is low and light and is thus suitable for applications for which a lightweight construction is crucial, says the company.
The ADLD25PC-PASSIVELP (passive low profile) is a passive cooling-fin heat sink for integration in space-constrained designs. Its thermal concept is based on a pin-type heat sink design that employs conical-bolt cooling fins. The board's fan sink is suitable for operating-system testing, and laboratory use in development departments. According to the company, the heat sink plus fan set, which consistently ensures sufficient cooling of the SBC at all times, is suitable for performing initial tests and for gaining insight into the system and processor temperature. The fan has a tachometric signal and can be controlled via the supply voltage.
The ADLD25PC-CK cable kit makes all of the Pineview board's required interfaces available in the form of conventional connections. The board is based on the Intel ICH9M-E chipset and the Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor, which is clocked at 2x1.8GHz and has L2 cache of more than 1Mbyte. Up to 2Gbyte of DDR3-800 DRAM is available for memory. The interfaces include eight USB 2.0 and four COM ports, a 10, 100, and 1000Mbit/s Ethernet connection as well as interfaces for a printer, a PS/2 keyboard and a mouse. In addition, there is also a 16bit GPIO (general purpose input/output) port, a 7.1 channel HD audio interface as well as an expansion slot for PCI/104 Express cards with four x1 lanes. This SBC has a 5V power supply and features power consumption of 10 to 13W. It operates from -20 to +75°C. An extended temperature version is also available for the range from -40 to +85°C.
