In addition, the on-board GPS provides timing that can synchronize the data acquisition of geographically distant systems to within 190ns, along with providing location and altitude.
The SBC4495 is based on an STPC Atlas processor with speeds up to 133MHz, on-chip cache, 64-bit DRAM access, hardware floating point, and PC/AT-compatible interrupts, timers, and DMA controllers. It also includes four serial ports, 24 bits of digital I/O, a SuperVGA display controller, and keyboard/mouse ports. Micro/sys says the SuperVGA includes hardware acceleration, and drives CRT monitors and LVDS TFT flat panel displays with resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024.
SBC4495 Block DiagramThe basic SBC4495 starts at $495 in single quantity, and an industrial temperature (-40C to +85C) version is available starting at $565. Micro/sys says it also provides a "free development kit" that includes cables, sample software, and full documentation.
