Hercules Ii Ebx Sbc Processor Boards

Hercules II EBX SBC Processor Boards is a high performance, RoHS compliant successor to the popular Hercules EBX. Combining processor, data acquisition, and power supply onto one board results in a thinner, lighter, more rugged, and easier to assemble embedded system. The 3-in-1 design addressed the needs of mobile and vehicle applications by offering the benefits of reduced size, weight, cost, and power consumption. Hercules II utilizes the VIA Mark CoreFusion processor which combines a high performance Nehemiah core CPU with Northbridge technology on a single chip. Featuring Pentium III class performance with dramatically reduced power consumption, the 800MHz board consumes only 12 watts max and requires only a small heat sink with no fan to operate at temperatures up to 85A C. This is less power than the original Hercules board consumed at 550MHz. The increased integration enables Hercules II to offer advanced features such as four USB 1.1 ports.

The advanced data acquisition circuit features autocalibration and fully jumper-less configuration for maximum accuracy and reliable performance. The built-in DC/DC power supply enables Hercules II to be used in a wide range of applications without requiring a separate add-on supply.
