OVERVIEW

The EPX-C3 is a VIA C3-based, EPIC-compatible Single Board Computer (SBC). C3 processors have extremely low power dissipation which allows fanless operation, making it ideal for industrial applications. The board is configured with a 733 MHz or 1 GHz MMX-compatible CPU with up to 512 MB of PC133 SDRAM plus a CompactFlash (CF) socket. Also, a 10/100 Ethernet controller, USB 2.0, 4X AGP video with CRT/Flat Panel/LVDS interfaces, four serial COM channels, 24 digital I/O lines, AC97 audio, and the standard AT peripheral feature set are included.

The board measures 4.50" x 6.50" (115 mm x 165 mm) and is compliant with the EPIC (Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing) standard. It supports expansion with PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors or with two high-speed USB 2.0 channels. The board will operate from -40°C to 85°C for rugged applications requiring an embedded PC. Its x86-PC software compatibility assures a wide range of tools to aid in your applications program development and checkout.
