Measures only 67.6 x 26 x 4.2 mm. Uses only 2 mW in sleep mode.
Woburn, USA – October 18, 2006. Strategic Test has announced the World’s smallest Intel/Marvel ‘Monahans P’ System on Module (SOM). Called the TRITON-290, it measures just 67.6 x 26 x 4.2 mm (2.6” x 1” x 0.16”) and contains an 806 MHz PXA290 processor coupled with 64 MB SDRAM and 128 MB Flash. The module uses a 200 pin SODIMM connector and has an extended temperature range of –25 degree C to +85 degree C. First shipments are slated to start in November, together with a complete Development Kit running Linux 2.6.17 and Microsoft Windows CE 5.0.
Using 1.8 V ultra low power memory, the module consumes only 2 mW in sleep mode. As with the PXA270 and PXA255 TRITON modules, the TRITON-290 includes a high-efficiency programmable CPU power supply that, together with Intel Wireless SpeedStep® Power Manager Technology ensures minimum power consumption while maintaining the highest levels of processor performance.
Other notable features include: RoHS lead-free compliance, 16-bit A/A/D multiplexed external memory interface so that additional memory can be placed on the carrier board and a DS1339 Real Time Clock. The module can be driven by a single 3.3 V to 5 V power supply and includes a regulator onboard to supply 3.3 V components located on the carrier board to further simplify carrier design.
The TRITON-290 uses a 200-pin SODIMM connector to bring out most of the PXA290’s internal signals. Through a combination of software and firmware, the user is able to choose from one of seven different signal mappings to obtain the required processor features. These peripherals include: Mobile Scalable Link (a new Intel technology designed for high-speed serial data exchange between handsets and mobile devices), Quick Capture Interface, USB 1.1 Host, USB 2.0 Client, PWM (4), 4-bit SD I/O, USIM card, keypad controller, UART (3), AC97/I2C, SSP (3), enhanced LCD controller for direct connection to a display, I2C and JTAG.
