The PCM-SC520 is based on a 32-bit low-voltage AMD Elan SC520 SoC, which has an AM5x86 core clocked at 133MHz. The board has a complete set of integrated PC/AT peripherals and supports Windows CE, according to WinSystems. However, the company says the processor is not fast enough to adequately support Windows XP Embedded.

The PCM-SC520 supports from 32 to 256 MB of SDRAM in a standard SODIMM socket, but it can also be ordered with up to 32 MB of soldered-down SDRAM for high shock and vibration applications. Up to 1 GB of solid state disk (SSD) storage is available, either as CompactFlash or M-Systems DiskOnChip.

Peripheral ports include 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, four serial, bi-directional parallel, floppy, IDE, keyboard, and mouse ports. The company says the device requires only +5V and draws 900 mA (typical) with 128MB of SDRAM memory installed.

The PCM-SC520 can operate as a standalone SBC or in conjunction with user-designed or off-the-shelf PC/104 expansion modules, thousands of variations of which are available from hundreds of vendors, WinSystems says.

Price and Delivery

List price for the PCM-SC520-0 is $399, according to WinSystems. Delivery is from stock to three weeks. The company also offers a Quick Start kit and developers' package for the PCM-SC520 for both Windows CE and Linux.
