PRODUCT DEFINITION
ZT 8907
The ZT 8907 is a highly integrated, single board computer that is factory configured to
operate with a 100 MHz i486™ IntelDX4™ microprocessor. (Contact Ziatech for support
of other 486 microprocessor configurations). The board meets the needs of a wide
range of industrial control and processing applications by operating stand alone, as a
single master in an STD 32
®
architecture, or as a permanent or temporary master in an
STD 32 architecture.
ZT 89LT07
The ZT 89LT07, a low temperature version with an extended operating range for harsh
environments, is now available on a build-to-order basis. The ZT 8907 operating range
of 0º to +70º C is extended in the ZT 89LT07 to -40º +70º C. Contact Ziatech for details.
Stand-Alone Operation
The ZT 8907 does not require an STD bus backplane to operate. The ZT 8907 is able to
operate stand alone in many applications because of the large selection of the most
commonly needed peripheral devices. Peripheral devices include:
•
Parallel I/O
•
Counter/timers
•
Real-time clock
•
Watchdog timer
•
Speaker interface
•
Keyboard controller
•
Interrupt controllers
•
AC/DC power-fail detection
•
Optional local PCI video support (VGA/Flat-Panel)
•
Optional static RAM memory with battery backup
