Latest Pentium M
keeps CPU running cooler
The 1.8GHz Intel Pentium M processor 745 used in Kontron's CP306 CompactPCI 3HE CPU is as powerful as a 2.8GHz office Intel Pentium processor
The 1.8GHz Intel Pentium M Processor 745 used in Kontron's CP306 CompactPCI 3HE CPU is as powerful as a 2.8GHz office Intel Pentium processor. Nevertheless, the board needs only passive cooling methods as the power dissipation has been reduced by approximately 50%. As processor and memory are both soldered directly to the board, the CP306 is suitable for use in harsh environments.

Typical applications include robots, mobile data acquisition systems, aircraft cockpits and train driver cabins.
In addition to the existing 1.1 and 1.6GHz Pentium M with passive cooling methods Kontron offers also the 1.8GHz version (Intel Pentium M Processor 745).
Compared with the 1.6GHz version the L2-cache has been duplicated.
At the same time the power dissipation has been significantly reduced due to the new 90nm production process.
The CP306 CPU board includes extensive communication interfaces as well as a high performance processor with up to 1.6GHz clock rate, 1Mbyte L2 on the cache, 333MHz memory clock rate and 400MHz processor side bus.
The onboard communications interfaces include one Gigabit Ethernet, one Fast Ethernet, four USB 2.0 and up to four COM channels.
Kontron also can enhance the peripheral interface on request using Kontron rear I/O modules.
A dual ATA100 interface is provided as well as a CompactFlash socket.
Memory options include a maximum of 1Gbyte DDR-SDRAM/PC333 (with ECC).
The board is available with a single slot (4HP) or a dual slot (8HP).
The 8HP CP306 variant provides legacy support and a 2.5in HDD carrier.
If less performance is needed, systems can be scaled with the 1.1GHz version according to the requirements.
The CP306 is also designed for the extended temperature range.
The operating systems supported include Windows XP, XP Embedded and 2000, Linux and VxWorks.
The CP306 is available now in production quantities.
