Enabling interoperability in high-performance embedded applications

OpenVPX expands on the VPX Base and Dot Specifications and provides a System Specification to address interoperability issues between VPX modules and Chassis. OpenVPX is an extensible specification which addresses the current and future needs for computing in harsh environments.

Risk management for counterfeit materials

Counterfeit materials will continue to challenge the defensive capabilities of manufacturers in the military and aerospace industry.

DIGITAL-LOGIC, which is one of the world's leading companies in the embedded computer market, has been involved in the development, manufacture and international marketing of highly-integrated embedded PCs since 1992.

The group has subsidiaries in Germany, France and partners in over 25 countries , and currently employs 130 specialist staff. DIGITAL-LOGIC knows how to be at the leading edge of technology with innovative, reliable products and realises economical PC solutions for demanding applications and therefore has received many awards.

The ISO9001:2000 certified company offers a comprehensive range of PC/104, PC/104- Plus , PCI/104-Express, 3.5”, EPIC, EBX as well as customized embedded computers and computer systems based on the x86 architecture from AMD Elan™ SC520 and Geode LX800 up to Intel ® Pentium M, Core TM Duo, Core TM Quad and Atom TM Processors.

Cutting-edge production systems - DIGITAL-LOGIC manufactures all its products on its own modern and RoHS compliant production equipment: three SMT lines (surface mounted technology), assembly, quality control, coating, burning and screening systems. In-house manufacturing allows DIGITAL-LOGIC to be flexible and adapt to the customer's wishes.

 


Product Overview

  • smartModules : computer on module line
    With its smartModule product line DIGITAL-LOGIC offers the world’s smallest computer on module form factor. By integrating a smartModule into an OEM-design, the need for multiple boards, cables, or the development of customized PC-design is eliminated. smartModules are cost-effective, timesaving and safe alternatives to fully custom-designed PCs. All DIGITAL-LOGIC smartModules, from SM800 up to SM855, SMX945 COM Express and SMA200 (SmartCore ® Express) are equiped with a factory proven cooling concept.
  • Development Kits
    All development kits are ready-to-use systems that boot from the hard disk.
    They are used for the evaluation and DesignIn of smart-Modules.
    The development kits for smartModules come with all documentation, including
    sample circuit diagrams for the motherboard.
    Also included is a 90W 110/220V power supply unit with
    12-18V output. If required, other voltages are generated in the development kit.
    The smartModule and PC/104 development kits contain
    all periphery connector boards and cable kits so that the standard
    connector is available for all functions (USB, VGA, DVI, sound).
    For the EPIC and 3.5" SBC form factors, the MPCV8xx and MPC20 serve
    as development kits.

     

  • MICROSPACE ® PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI/104- Express -Boards
    Choose from the extensive line of MICROSPACE ® PC/104 modules as PC-building blocks for reliable embedded computers. The range of different boards is very large. If a suitable computer board does not exist, DIGITAL-LOGIC is also able to develop and produce specific boards. DIGITAL-LOGIC supplies complete cable-kits for all CPU modules, thus providing easy entry into the PC/104 world.

     

  • MICROSPACE ® PC and MICROSPACE ® PCX
    With the MICROSPACE ® -PC, DIGITAL-LOGIC offers the smallest, fan-less computer for mobile and stationary applications. The MICROSPACE ® -PCX is as compact and is furthermore dust- and waterproof.The new MICROSPACE ® -Railway Computer System-Line is EN50155 certified.

     

  • MICROSPACE® EBX and EBX-Express
    The EBX form factor is a well-known open industry standard for
    embedded computers since 1992.
    Size: 146 x 203 mm. Like the EPIC boards, all interface plugs are integrated
    on the board as EMCfiltered standardized plugs. This makes them nearly cable-free.
    On DIGITAL-LOGIC’s EBX single board computer there is a PC/104-Plus
    slot which permits up to 4 ISA and/or PCI-PC/104-Plus cards.
    The new MSEBX945P provides a PCI/104-Express expansion slot.
    The EBX boards are available in a wide performance bandwidth,
    from the AMD LX800 for the Intel® Processor M (1000MHz) to CoreTM2
    Duo (2x 1.6 GHz and 3GB RAM). Different configuration variants can
    be ordered in each performance class.
    The EBX boards can be integrated in a housing with virtually no cables.
    The power supply is available in a broad, cost-saving voltage range.
    For cooling, passive heat dissipaters or heat pipes can be fitted to the housing.

     

  • MICROSPACE® EPIC and EBX-Express
    The EPIC form factor is a new, open industry standard for embedded computers.
    Size: 115 x 165 mm. As with the 3.5" SBC boards, all interface plugs are integrated
    on the board as EMC-filtered standardized plugs. This means that wiring is not
    necessary as it is on PC/104 boards.
    On DIGITAL-LOGIC’s EPIC single board computer there is a PC/104-Plus slot which
    permits up to 3 ISA and/or PCI-PC/104-Plus cards.
    The EPIC boards are available with a wide range of performance bandwidths, from the
    AMD® LX800 (500MHz) to the Intel® CoreTM Duo (2x 1.6GHz).
    The EPIC boards can be integrated in a housing almost without using cables.
    The filtered and polarity-protected power supply covers a wide voltage range,
    thereby saving costs and complying with EMC standards.
    For cooling, passive heat dissipaters or heat pipes can be fitted to the housing.
    For evaluation of the EPIC embedded single board computers,
    the CE/EMC certified MPCV800/855/945 complete systems are available, each
    of which has an integrated DIGITAL-LOGIC EPIC board.

     

  • MICROSPACE ® 3.5"-SBC
    The 3.5" SBC boards differ from the PC/104 board primarily in that for all interfaces the EMC filtered standard plug is on the board. This means there is no wiring as is the case with PC/104 boards. The form factor is derived from the size of a 3.5" hard disk and has practically become a standard. With dimensions of 102 x 146 mm, the 3.5" SBCs are the smallest single board computers and can be integrated nearly wirelessly in a housing.

     

  • Custom Designed PC
    Extensive experience allows DIGITAL-LOGIC to develop and manufacture a custom-embedded computer faster and less expensively than an OEM can design it himself from scratch or by modifying something off the shelf. Not only the design sources, also the source code of all BIOS, drivers, and some operating systems are in-house, and can be adapted to customers' needs. DIGITAL-LOGIC employs the latest CAD-systems, automatic routers, and software-tools to adapt the BIOS code to a customer's requirement.
