Three fanless modules

Parvus has released low-power Intel Pentium III-based architecture in three new ruggedised PC/104-Plus CPU boards, the SpacePC 1460, 1461 and 1463.

has unveiled three ruggedised 800MHz Pentium III-based embedded processor boards, the SpacePC

. These fanless PC/104-Plus form factor CPU cards enable the Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Intel Tualatin Pentium III processor to be integrated into demanding mobile, high vibration, and extreme temperature computing applications.

Based on a true Intel architecture, the new SpacePC 146X family combines an 800MHz ULV Pentium III processor with an Intel 815E chipset plus a combination of high speed peripherals.

The three models include the SpacePC CPU-1460, which includes standard embedded PC peripheral devices, the SpacePC CPU-1461, which supports up to 8 USB devices (six of which are high speed USB 2.0 compliant), and the SpacePC CPU-1463, which features dual network controllers, including a Gigabit Ethernet interface and a 10/100 Ethernet controller.

Similar to Parvus’ 400MHz Celeron SpacePC 145X boards, these new Pentium III models incorporate a flat, aluminum heat spreader plate on top of the processor boards so that sealed embedded systems can operate from –40 degrees C to +85 degrees C without a fan.
