Low-Power 3U VPX Board with Intel® Core™2 Duo

Extreme Engineering Solutions has released the XPedite7170, a product which sets a new standard for high-performance computing by leveraging the latest in low-power Intel CPU technology. Utilizing the SU9300 (1.2 GHz) and SL9400 (1.86 GHz) Intel® Core™2 Duo processors, the XPedite7170 provides system designers with the optimum high-performance, low-power solution.

The XPedite7170 is a well-balanced product that excels in all aspects of embedded design. Superior computational ability is achieved with the use of Intel’s next-generation 45-nm low-power Intel® Core™2 Duo processor operating at up to 1.86 GHz. A rich set of communication interfaces includes multiple USB, Gigabit Ethernet and Serial (RS-232/RS-422) ports. With support for up to 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and two external SATA interfaces, the XPedite7170 satisfies memory- and storage-intensive applications.
Configurable as either air-cooled or conduction-cooled, the XPedite7170 is designed to be a robust SBC solution for any environment. With the use of Extreme Engineering’s proprietary Xficient™ technology, the XPedite7170 outperforms competitors by achieving improved thermal conductivity, allowing systems to run at higher performance levels.

A PMC/XMC expansion slot provides easy product customization and an optional I/O module allows convenient front-panel access to serial, Ethernet, and USB ports during lab development.

Extensive operating system support for Linux, Microsoft Windows, Wind River VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, and Green Hills INTEGRITY provides an easy migration path from existing hardware and software platforms.

“The XPedite7170 represents a significant technological advancement for 3U VPX processing,” states Ben Klam, Vice President of Engineering for X-ES. “By offering the XPedite7170 in five unique ruggedization levels from commercial to rugged-military, the XPedite7170 can be configured to operate cost-effectively in any environment,” Klam adds.
