Product Definition
The AMC123 is a 32-bit AdvancedMC single-board compute module, featuring the 1.2 GHz
Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor, a complete system on-a-chip (SOC) processor designed
for high-performance embedded applications. The module utilizes a single 333.5 MHz PC2-
5300 64-bit SO-RDIMM with Error Correction Code (ECC), up to 4 GB is supported using
2 Gbit DRAM technology, and 2 GB using 1 Gbit DRAM technology. The AMC123 incorporates
a 16 GB USB flash storage module, or an optional 16 GB Serial ATA (SATA) flash storage
module on the SO-DIMM.
Ethernet connectivity is available through dual front panel RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
ports. The AMC123 also supports the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG)
®
sub-specifications AMC.1 (x1, x4, or x8 PCI Express), AMC.2 (Gigabit Ethernet), and AMC.3
Type 1 (SATA II) to ensure a comprehensive set of interconnecting capabilities to the carrier
board. A standard USB 2.0 port and an RJ9 console port are also provided on the front panel.
The AMC123 is compliant with the PICMG AMC.0 specification and adheres to mechanical,
power, thermal, interconnect, and management functions defined in this specification.
