1.1 Introduction
PCM-8500 is first Pentium® 4 industrial board in AAEON Compact
Board product line. It features a PGA478 socket that can
accommodate Pentium® 4 / Pentium® 4 Processors-M and
Celeron® Processor, supporting FSB up to 400/533MHz.
Best performance for multimedia solution
AAEON's PCM-8500 also supports DDR DRAM up to1GB, 4X
AGP, and 6 channels audio output. It can provide the strong
multimedia functions. Therefore PCM-8500 can be broadly
implemented in several markets, such as Point of sale, point of
information (Kiosk), and gaming markets.
Multi-Function Pentium4 Platform
If you are looking for powerful multi-media applications,
PCM-8500 is the one. PCM-8500 successfully integrates VGA,
Audio and Ethernet function into 5.75” size board; meanwhile
it also supports 6 USB2.0, mini PCI, and PCMCIA (optional
item) slots. PCM-8500 promises you the greatest expansion
possibilities with the most cost-effective expansion standards,
PCMCIA or Mini PCI. Withnumerous off-the-shelf
PCMCIA/Mini PCI modules, you get easy access to solutions
ranging from IEEE 1394, Modem, Storage, Sound Card, SCSI
card, Audio/Video capture card, Wireless LAN module, to

Bluetooth module. Especially for customers whom application
is various or changing, PCM-8500 reserves more than enough
flexibility for future expansion.
More
PCM-8500 provides more CPU optionsfor different applications.
You can choose Pentium® 4 processor up to 3.06G for high
performance application or choose Pentium® 4 processor-M for
thermal concerned operative environment. Low-cost Socket 478
Celeron processors are also supported by PCM-8500 for
cost-intensive projects. Most of all Pentium® 4 Level processors are
suitable for PCM-8500. Talking about the display signal transmission,
PCM-8500 integrated 48-bit dual channel LVDS interface onboard,
which allows long distance display signal transmission. Besides LCD
supports, PCM-8500 also allows customer to show different contents
on CRT and LCD at same time. It meets multi-display demand at
most cost-efficient way.
