ETX® - Embedded Technology eXtended

ETX® Computer-on-Modules are the perfect solution for embedded applications
that require full PC functionality and high performance CPUs. They support x86
CPUs from 500 MHz up to Intel® Core™2 Duo and offer a full complement of
PC/AT I/O such as keyboard, serial, parallel and Parallel ATA interfaces. The
full-featured ETX® series also includes onboard USB, Ethernet, graphics and
sound. ETX® modules are installed on the application-specific carrier board,
much like an integrated circuit component, in a host site comprised of four low
profile surface mount connectors. Kontron provides those modules according
to the latest ETX® 3.0 specifications. This well-established open standard fits
the needs of embedded applications perfectly. The ETX® Standard offers the
complete PC functionality within the very compact size of 114 mm x 100 mm
(4.5" x 4").

Benefits:

• 2x SerialATA support by connector area on the module
• ETX® 3.0 is 100 percent backward pin-to-pin compatible with previous
  ETX® standard revisions
• No redesign needed for the ETX® carrier boards
• Long term support
