Evalue Technology releases its latest SOM-ETX module, the ESM-2740 that is based on Intel® 855GME chipset. The Intel® 855GME chipset features the newly enhanced Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 controller that supports Intel® DVMT 2.0 and up to 64 MB VGA memory for optimal graphic performance. Apart from supporting CRT/LVDS displays, the ESM-2740 also features NTSC/PAL TV-out function with an onboard Chrontel 7011 chipset. To satisfy these demanding graphic processing, the ESM-2740 can support up to 1GB DDR 333 SDRAM with one SODIMM socket.

The ESM-2740 can support a wide range of Intel® processors with 0.13μ and 90 nm process technologies. These comprises high performance Intel® Pentium® M up to 2.0 GHz and cost-effective Intel® Celeron® M processors from 600 MHz to 1.5 GHz. Additional features include multi I/O interfaces such as four Ultra DMA100 Enhance IDE interfaces, four USB 2.0, 5.1 CH Audio, 10/100Mbps LAN, two TTL serial and parallel ports.

The applied main chipsets and processors are covered in Intel® "Embedded Intel® Architecture Division" (EID) product roadmap. Intel® EID warrants long-time product supply lifetime up to 5 years and higher system reliability. The ESM-2740 is available for shipping. Targeted markets include medical automation, gaming, POS, mobile computing and transportation.

The ETX CPU board measures 114mm x 95mm and offers the fastest time-to-market solution for OEM customers. The board works as an embedded plug-on module and can be placed on any ETX baseboard tailored to the customer's specific needs. Because the baseboard is designed separately from the ETX CPU module, it can easily be developed into any form factor with any required functionality within the shortest possible time-frame. The solution-oriented baseboard can be designed by the customers themselves or by employing Evalue's Baseboard Prototyping Services (BPS) that deliver three engineering samples in 30 days.

For reduce customer's development time, Evalue also offers a wide range of carrier boards and evaluation board for preliminary configuration and compatibility test. For more information,
