E²Brain – we crack the nut ... for you!
The E²Brain Solution
E²Brain (Embedded Electronic Brain) Computer-On-
Modules are a perfect fit for embedded applications
requiring RISC performance and low power consumption.
They support PowerPC, XScale and other processors in a
wide performance range.
All modules feature a common basic system and communications
interface with PCI, LPC, I²C, Ethernet and serial
ports. A number of optional interfaces, including CAN,
UTOPIA and more, tailor the modules for specific application
areas. All modules are characterized by an excellent
performance/power consumption ratio qualifying
them for use in the extended temperature range
(-40° to 85°C).
E²Brain modules, like ETX, are installed on application
specific carrier boards providing the physical interfaces
for all used ports. Additional I/O and peripheral devices,
if necessary, are interfaced as PCI or LPC bus peripherals.
