1.1 Introduction
AEC-6840 is the advanced upgraded version of AEC-6810.The target
markets are industrial automation such as applications in factory
management, building entrance guard and transportation system. We
primarily focuses AEC-6840 on environmental monitoring system.
Intel®ULV Celeron®chipset with low power consumption and high
performance is widely acceptable and dependable in the market. USB 2.0,
four Serial ports and Digital I/O communicates with diverse devices with
high transferring rate. Furthermore, an optional Gigabit LAN port is a
leading-edge design and also an innovation for communication in IPC
industry. AEC-6840 plays a role as connecting all subsystems.
