LiPPERTs Hurricane-LX800: EPIC SBC with AMD Geode(TM) running at 500 MHz

Hurricane-LX800

  • EPIC Single Board Computer - AMD Geode™ LX800 - 500MHz

The Hurricane-LX800 is an EPIC standard formatted single-board computers using AMD’s powerful yet energy-efficient Geode™ LX800(at)0.9W processor, running at 500MHz. This module integrates all peripherals needed to build an embedded PC on a small 115 mm x 165 mm (4.5” x 6.5”) printed circuit board. Using a CS5536 I/O companion and a Super I/O chip, all the standard peripherals are already on board.

The Hurricane-LX800 uses only a mere 5,3 watts and can operate in the extended temperature range of –40°…+85°C without additional cooling. It is supplied with 5V only and supports ACPI, advanced and PCI power management.

Application areas for the Hurricane-LX800 are industrial automation, automotive, medical devices, and military.
