Extreme Engineering has once again answered the embedded system developer’s ubiquitous question: “How can I improve CompactPCI system performance without escalating power requirements or jettisoning critical features?” Full speed ahead with the XCalibur4100, a sturdy product designed to be light on power and quick in performance.
The XCalibur4100 combines the low-power Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with industry standard USB, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, serial (RS-232/422), and DVI-I (analog and digital graphics) interfaces. Up to 8 GB of DDR2 SDRAM puts “wind in the sails” of any memory intensive application. An expansion XMC/PMC slot provides easy product customization. An optional Rear Transition Module (RTM) is available and allows access to all front panel interfaces, as well as audio line-out and line-in.
XCalibur4100 : 6U CompactPCI Core 2 Duo Low Power Platform
“Combining Intel®’s processing advantage with low-power graphics and mezzanine support has created the ideal flexible platform,” states Ben Klam, Vice President of Engineering for X-ES. “By offering Intel® Core™2 Duo processor clock speeds from 1.06 GHz to 2.16 GHz, the XCalibur4100 meets a wide range of performance/power requirements,” Klam added.
Availability. A streamlined, “light clipper” configuration of the XCalibur4100 is available for as low as $1,900 in volume. A full-featured, “first-rate flagship” configuration is also available for $4,995. Cost is based on processor speed, memory configuration, and graphics support. Both configurations are currently shipping.
