LittleBoard

Family – These high-performance, highly integrated single-board computers use

the EBX form factor (5.75x8.00 inches), and are available with Pentium III and Celeron
processors. The EBX-compliant Little Board single-board computers offer functions equivalent
to a complete laptop or desktop PC system, plus several expansion cards. Built-in extras to meet
the critical requirements of embedded applications include onboard solid state disk capability,
watchdog timer, smart power monitor, and Ampro embedded BIOS extensions.

MiniModule

Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules compliant with

PC/104 and PC/104-Plus standards can be used with Ampro CoreModule, LittleBoard, and
ReadyBoard single-board computers to configure embedded system solutions. Ampro's highly
reliable MiniModule products currently support USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), Ethernet, PC
Card expansion, analog/data acquisition, FPGA, additional RS232/RS485 serial ports, and
general-purpose I/O (GPIO).

ETX Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions
use various x86 processors in an ETX Revision 2.6 form factor to plug into your custom
baseboard. Each ETX module provides standard peripherals, including dual Ultra/DMA
33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, ISA bus, serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and
mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB ports, Video, and AC’97 sound. ETX modules
support up to 512MB or more of SODIMM DRAM. Optional –40

EnCore

Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM)

solutions use various processor technologies including x86, MIPS

, and PowerPC

architectures to plug into your custom baseboard. Each EnCore module provides standard
peripherals, including Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, serial, parallel,
PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, and USB ports. Some EnCore
modules also provide video and AC97 sound. Depending on the model, EnCore modules support
up to 256MB or 512MB of SODIMM DRAM. Extended temperature support up to +85
