Description

Our new Prometheus LC goes above and beyond the competition to provide an excellent solution for low-cost low-power-consumption applications. Its ZFx86 processor chip delivers 486-100MHz capability, enough for DOS, Linux, and QNX applications. The low 2-watt total power consumption provides extended life in battery-powered applications along with extra-low heat dissipation. System memory includes a generous 16MB RAM and 1MB Flash. A backup battery is included for the on-board real-time clock. The board operates over the extended temperature range of -40 to +85ºC.

The Prometheus LC may be used with our Pandora enclosure system, including a cable-free panel I/O board that provides industry-standard connectors for all I/O while minimizing assembly time and maximizing ruggedness.

	Small on Price, Big on I/O

The extensive I/O includes 4 RS-232 ports (2 with 128-byte FIFOs) featuring up to 115.2kbaud data rates. The BIOS provides console redirection via COM1 or COM2, so you don't need a video board to communicate with the CPU. Two USB1.1 ports, 2 PS/2 ports, IrDA capability, and an IEEE1284 LPT port are also included. Both floppy and IDE drives are supported. The IDE port may be used with a notebook hard drive or a solid-state flashdisk module that mounts directly on the board. A watchdog timer with programmable time delay provides the capability to reset the system in the case of application failure. Both hardware and software retriggering are supported.

	Disk-On-Board Flash File Storage Reduces Cost

Prometheus includes our exclusive cost-saving disk-on-board technology. This custom BIOS feature lets you format the on-board flash memory as a bootable disk drive with approximately 700KB capacity. You can store DOS, application programs, and data files directly in the flash, eliminating the need for any external drives or flashdisk modules. Find out more about Disk-On-Board here.
