Measuring 100 x 72 mm, the PICOZ500 is the latest addition to the Procelerant family of embedded computer products. It is designed for handheld and portable equipment and features a flexible I/O scheme, battery support, and LCD touch screen support. I/O signals are routed to headers instead of connectors to provide a lower profile and enable application-specific enclosure options, allowing customers to easily add and route I/O via cables.
The Procelerant PICOZ500 Pico-ITX is a single-board computer based on the Intel Atom™ Z510 processor. It is designed specifically for use in low-power or battery-powered applications such as patient monitors, test and measurement equipment, gaming, and infotainment systems. The PICOZ500 is also ideally suited to space-constrained applications that require passive cooling and low-power operation.
The PICOZ500 is available with 512 MB of DDR2-400 integrated memory and has a MicroSD socket for up to 2 GB of flash memory. It has an integrated video controller that can support a variety of touchscreen LVDS or TTL panels using a cable designed specifically for each panel.
A PCI Express Mini Card socket supports modules such as wireless LAN, and a 100-pin expansion connector supports interfacing to a custom expansion card with application-specific I/O. The power source is a single input-voltage power rail that can support operation with two to four Li-ion or Li-polymer cells. Additional battery management or Smart Battery support can be provided by an optional battery controller module.
