Kontron ETXexpress-CD Now an Improved Fit for Energy-Efficient Embedded Applications

Eching/Nuremberg, Germany, February 13, 2007 – Kontron announced at Embedded World 2007 the update of the Kontron ETXexpress-CD Computer-On-Module to now support the new Intel® Core© 2 Duo processor. Built around the energy-efficient Intel processor, the COM Express compliant Kontron ETXexpress-CD is an improved fit for the multitude of small embedded applications that are temperature and power sensitive.

The Kontron ETXexpress-CD product line now supports the Intel® Core©2 Duo processor T7400 (2x 2.16GHz, 4MB L2 cache, TDP 34W) in addition to the Intel® Core© Duo processor along with the Mobile Intel® 945 GM Express chipset, and the ICH7M Southbridge. It can support up to 2GB of DDR2-SDRAM. The Kontron ETXexpress-CD features up to 5x PCI Express x1 lanes and 1x Gigabit Ethernet in addition to legacy support for PCI plus LPC, 8x USB 2.0, 2x Serial ATA, and 1x Parallel ATA interfaces.

CRT and LVDS outputs are available to drive high resolution for true color monitors and displays. Support for PCI Express based graphics cards for video-intensive applications also is available. A family feature inherited from Kontron’s ETX Computer-On-Modules, ETXexpress modules and customizable carrier boards offer "plug and work" LCD display support with readily available adapter cables based on Kontron’s JILI interface.

Kontron anticipates having samples of the ETXexpress-CD with the Intel Core 2 Dup processor available by the Q2/ 2007.
