1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The cPCI-3920 is a highly integrated 3U CompactPCI SBC in sin-
gle slot (4HP) or dual slot (8HP) width form factor. It has been
designed to support Intel® lower power Core™ 2 Duo, Core™
Duo and Celeron® M processors in FC-BGA package with a range
of 1.0GHz to 1.5GHz at FSB 533MHz to 667MHz. They deliver
optimized power-efficient computing and outstanding dual core
performance with lower power consumption.
The cPCI-3920 is based on the server-class Intel® 3100 chipset
(Whitmore Lake) which combines Memory Controller Hub and I/O
Controller Hubs into a single component, significantly conserving
board real estate and power consumption. The Intel® 3100
chipset is the first Integrated Intel® chipset optimized for embed-
ded, communications, and storage applications.
The cPCI-3920 supports registered ECC type, single channel
DDR2 400MHz soldered onboard memory with a maximum
capacity of up to 2GB. The board supports one 32-bit/33MHz
CompactPCI interface acting as system master CPU only.
The cPCI-3920 offers versatile I/O ports like two Gigabit Ethernet
ports, two COM ports, up to three USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 Keyboard/
Mouse, and VGA port on the front panel. A Rear Transition Mod-
ule (RTM) is also available and provides an additional two USB
2.0 ports, two COM ports, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports switched
from the front panel.
Storage features of the cPCI-3920 include a pin header and
mounting space for an onboard USB NAND flash module, and one
Serial ATA interface with mounting space for a 2.5” HDD in the
8HP version. There are also three 7-pin Serial ATA interfaces
available on the RTM for additional storage expansion.
Designed for stability and packaged in a rugged format, the cPCI-
3920 is suitable for long life applications situated in industrial envi-
ronments, including I/O intensive applications where only one slot
is available for the CPU. Components which have high tempera-
ture tolerance have been selected from embedded technology
programs, and therefore offer long-term availability.
