Overview
The Tomcat single board computer features the ultra-low power DMP Vortex86DX processor. Based
on the PC/104-Plus
industry standard form factor, the Tomcat supports PCI and ISA stackable
expansion boards. With mid-range performance (800 MHz) and ultra-low power consumption
(3.1W typ.), the Tomcat is well suited to size, weight, and power constrained applications. With
no moving parts (fanless operation), full industrial temperature rating, soldered-on RAM, and a
compact rugged form factor, it is ideal for operation in harsh, mobile, and/or remote environments.
The Tomcat is “headless”. It is designed for applications that do not require any type of video output.
Like all VersaLogic products, the Tomcat is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability
and long-term availability are required. From application design-in support, to its 5+ year production
life guarantee, the Tomcat provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost
of ownership. The Tomcat is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is fully
RoHS compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities.
Device I/O
Four serial ports, IDE, and LPT.
Details
Driven by a DMP Vortex86DX processor, the Tomcat runs at 800 MHz. The 32-bit CPU integrates
memory and I/O controller hub functions to provide an x86-compatible single-chip solution with
ultra-low power consumption.
Tomcat’s standard on-board features include Fast Ethernet, up to 512 MB soldered-on DDR2 RAM,
two USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE and LPT interfaces, a CompactFlash socket for removable
flash storage, and two general purpose timers. The PC/104-Plus
platform provides plug-in access to
industry standard expansion modules. Support for keyboard and mouse is provided via USB or PS/2.
Available in both commercial (0° to +70°C) and industrial (-40° to +85°C) temperature versions; the
Tomcat provides fanless operation and meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration.
Transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices on critical I/O ports provide enhanced electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection for the system.
The Tomcat is compatible with a variety of x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows
Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
Flash Memory
CompactFlash socket for solid-state storage.
Fanless Operation
No moving parts required for CPU cooling.
Extended Temperature Version
MIL-STD-202G
-40º to +85ºC operation for harsh environments.
Qualified for high shock / vibration environments.
