Board puts full PC
functionality into VME systems
The A13 is a complete PC in double-Eurocard format for VMEbus applications that need graphics, and therefore Windows or Linux
The SBC is available with two different Intel embedded processors: the Tualatin Pentium III running at 933MHz with a 133MHz front-side bus, particularly suitable for compute-intensive applications; and the ultra low voltage Tualatin Celeron running at 400MHz, recommended for temperature-critical applications (-40 to +85C option).
