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 to 1GB,
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. With numerous
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 options for 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 same contents on CRT and LCD at same time. It meets
multi-display demand at most cost-efficient way.
