By DE Editors

Advantech’s new PICMG 1.3 full-sized system host board, the (SHB) PCE-5130, is available for purchase in the U.S. The system host board features low power consumption and dual-core computing. It is designed for industrial applications requiring intense data or image processing where a cool-running, low-power solution is required.

The PCE-5130 is designed with the Intel 945GME notebook chipset and supports Intel mobile Core2 Duo, Core Duo, and Celeron M processors, with 667MHz front-side bus and up to 4GB of DDR2 667MHz SDRAM. The PCE-5130 has an integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics core, with 224MB shared memory that provides VGA and LVDS dual display interfaces.

The PCE-5130 has two SATA ports for connecting mainstream hard disks and optical drives, and the two onboard serial ports (COM ports) that can be used for device control applications. Dual Gigabit Ethernet LANs are also included.

With one PCIe x16 and four PCIe x1 lanes going to the backplane, the PCE-5130 can be used with all Advantech PCE-5000 series backplanes to use mainstream PCIe x16 graphics cards as well as a host of PCI, PCI-X and PCIe expansion capabilities.
