System Overview
1.1 Introduction
Since hot selling of Centrino™ Notebook, Intel
®
new generation mobile processor,
Pentium
®
M & Celeron
®
M are noticed by end user, especially those applications that
are limited to space and power consumption. However, the price of Pentium
®
M
& Celeron
®
M processors is still too high to implement. As time goes by, the price
drops because new production process is mature. At the very moment, Portwell
release one PCI half-sized cards that with mPGA479M socket (ROBO-6710) and
fanless ULV Celeron
®
M 600MHz processor (ROBO-6730) on-board. TDP (Thermal
Design Power) of ULV Celeron
®
M 600MHz processor is 7W. The Ultra Low
Voltage BGA type processor only needs passive heat sink on it for heat dissipation
that makes noise disappears and extends MTTR of the system.
The ROBO-6710/6730 designed with Intel
®
852GM and ICH4 chipset, beside the
special processor it supports, the GMCH (Graphics Memory Controller Hub)
supports different types of display that includes standard VGA, LVDS and one DVO
port. The DVO port could support the TV-out by project. As the result of LVDS is
the interface of latest LCD panel, ROBO-6710/6730 is the best solution that does not
need any adapter board in between. In addition, 852GM also supports dual view
function.
The ROBO-6710/6730 can be adopted by equipments such as GPS system in vehicle,
multimedia advertisement machine, POS (Point of Sales), POI (Point of Information),
portable measurement machine, supervision machine on ship and so on.
ROBO-6710/6730 features:
mPGA479M socket to support 400MHz FSB Mirco-FCPGA type Pentium
®
M
and Celeron
®
M type processor (ROBO-6710)
On-board 400MHz FSB, Banias core Intel
®
Celeron
®
M 600MHz processor
(ROBO-6730)
Support DDR 200/266 SODIM module, up to 1GB system memory and
integrated Intel
®
Extreme Graphics 2.0 with DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory
Technology) that ensures the most efficient use of system memory
Support dual display over VGA, LVDS interfaces
Equipped one Fast Ethernet port on-board (Gigabit Ethernet support by project)
Audio out, Watch-dog timer, Type II CompactFlash socket, 4 USB 2.0 ports
One 40-pin IDE channel and one 44-pin IDE channel (dedicated for 2.5” hard
drive connection)
