When is a Tiger not a cat...?

...When it's a VersaLogic PC/104-Plus SBC

VL Tiger (VL-EPM-24) 

Species - VersaLogic PC/104-Plus SBC

Size/Weight - PC/104-Plus: 114 mm x 96 mm (4.49” x 3.78”) and 0.286 lbs (0.129 kg) at its heaviest.

Diet - Intel Atom Z5xx Processor Up to 1.6 GHz performance with very low power consumption 6W typ (while executing code)

Habitat - The Tiger is an ideal choice for space, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained embedded applications. Based on the industry standard PC/104-Plus form factor, this compact and rugged SBC is an excellent solution for industrial, energy, defence/aerospace, medical, and robotics applications where a small footprint, low power draw (6W typical), and fanless operation are crucial design factors.

Description - Based on the PC/104-Plus industry standard form factor, the Tiger supports both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus stackable expansion boards. Tiger’s standard on-board features include gigabit Ethernet with network boot capability, SO-DIMM socket for up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM, seven USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support for two devices, HD audio, and a Disk on Module (DOM) socket for removable flash storage.

Life span - From application design-in support to its 5+ year production life guarantee, the Tiger provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost of ownership.

Population status - The VersaLogic Tiger is available from stock now. Contact Sarsen Technology on +44 1672 511166 or info@sarsen.net for more information.
