CHAPTER

2SBC-598 User Manual
Introduction
TheSBC-598 is an all-in-oneSingle Board Computer (SBC) capable
ofhandling the Intel Pentium P54C, P55C (MMX),AMDK6, as well
asthe Cyrix 6x86(M1)and6x86MX(M2) CPUs. Reliability,
performance, flexibility, and adequate expansion capabilities are
essential qualities for SBCs and their embedded applications and
the SBC-598 provides all of these.
If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the board's
watchdog timer can automatically reset the CPU or generate an
interrupt. This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone
systems.
Our Smart Temperature Control technology (LM75 chip) monitors
the CPU temperature and automatically slows down the CPU
frequency when the CPU temperature exceeds a specified safe
range, helping your system recover from abnormal temperature
fluctuations.
TheSBC-598 supports the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 family of
flash disk products which are small, plug-and-play, solid-state disks
in a standard 32-pin DIP package with capacities ranging from 2MB
to 72MB. This is often a far superior solution to a standard hard
drive as the flash disk has no mechanical parts, increasing overall
systemreliability.
Four synchronous two-way High Drive chips allows you to add
more peripheral cards and expand functionality in a reliable manner.
Four 72-pin SIMM sockets as well as one 168-pin DIMM socket
gives you the flexibility of having from 2MB to 256MB of DRAM
and up to 128MB of SDRAM.
Other features include 2 high speed RS-232 serial ports with 16C550
UARTs, 1 bidirectional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port and the support
for 2 floppy drives. In addition, the SBC-598 has a 512KB pipeline-
burst L2 cache for increased performance.
The SBC-598 also includes a high speed, local bus IDE controller
which supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3 and mode 4 hard disks,
Ultra DMA/33 (data transfer rates up to 33MB/sec) and up to 2 IDE
devices.
