1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3368 is a 6U-size CompactPCI™ all-in-one single board with low power
Pentium®
III 700MHz CPU on-board which complies with PICMG 2.0 R2.1
CompactPCI™
specifications. Targeting performance-demanding applications like
computer telephony and communications. Based on Intel®
’s 440GX chipset, the
MIC-3368 enhances its performance with 100 MHz front side bus.
High Performance Pentium®
III Processor
The MIC-3368 integrated an Intel®
low power Pentium® III 700MHz processor with
the BGA2 package. The low power Pentium®
III 700MHz processor has on-chip 256
KB cache providing high performance with low cost. With the support of a 100MHz
CPU bus clock, the MIC-3368 can fulfill customer’s expectations of
high-performance computing capability.
Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3368 has many functions on a single board with only one-slot width.
Advantech provides a CPU heat sink specially designed for the low power Pentium®
III processor, enabling the MIC-3368 to operate without a cooling fan on the heat
sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis fans for ventilation. This
enables the MIC-3368 to use a Pentium®
III CPU within a mere 1-slot wide space.
Single P2P Bridge
The MIC-3368 with single PCI-to-PCI Bridge (Intel® DEC21155) is applicable up to
8-slot enclosure (MIC-3032/MIC-3038) and drive up to seven bus master PCI slots.
PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) IEEE1386.1 Compliant
The MIC-3368 support up to two PMC sites and compliant with PICMG 2.3 (PCI
Mezzanine Card) specification. These two 32-bit PMC interface provides front access
capability by PMC modules for various function demanding.
Complete I/O Functions
The MIC-3368 offers all the I/O functions of an industrial computer with the rugged
Eurocard form factor. Since two PMC sites knockouts most area of front panel, only
few I/O connectors are available on the front panel including one Ethernet interface,
one serial port, and one PS/2 K/B and mouse. The rest of I/O have fully connected
to the rear I/O module via user-define connector (J3 ~ J5) on the backplane. These
I/O contain two Fast Ethernet interfaces, secondary serial port, one USB port, one
VGA connector, and one PS/2 keyboard/mouse connector. The front panel also has
