SAN JOSE, Calif, 30 April 2010. ADLINK Technology Inc. in San Jose, Calif., is introducing the ReadyBoard 740 PCI-104rugged single board computer for applications in harsh environments that require high-end video performance such as vehicle computing platforms, self-service kiosks, digital signage, and video surveillance.

The ReadyBoard 740 computer board integrates an Intel Atom processor D510 (dual-core) or Intel Atom processor D410 (single-core) with ICH8M chipset, on board SSD, H.264 hardware video decoder, networking, and I/O.

ADLINK’s ReadyBoard 740 provides multi-core computing power with integrated graphics and hardware HD video decoder. Featured are a 1.66 GHz dual-core Intel Atom processor D510 or single-core Atom processor D410, one SO-DIMM for as much as two gigabytes of 667 MHz DDR2 RAM, and a Broadcom Crystal HD H.264 video decoder. Graphics capabilities of the ReadyBoard 740 include VGA, LVDS, DVI output and efficient high-definition playback (1920 x 1080).

Conducted transient emissions and immunity are well known critical phenomena for power supply in vehicular applications and other severe environments. ADLINK has designed the MiniModule PWR, an optional power protection module to allow the ReadyBoard 740 to meet the specific demands of in-vehicle power environments. With the MiniModule PWR, the ReadyBoard 740 supports a wide input voltage range, reverse battery protection, overvoltage protection (OVP) and DC/DC converter, making the ReadyBoard 740 suitable for in-vehicle devices.
