LE-363 User’s Manual Introduction
Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LE-363 is the 3.5 inches embedded motherboard with AMD Geode GX533 platform, with
onboard VGA, AC97 audio, dual LAN and DC 12V input interface. Based on the AMD
Geode GX533 processor, the board provides many advanced features for reduced power
consumption, fanless design and high cost/price rate of production.
Low Power Consumption
Based on the AMD Geode GX533@400MHz processor onboard, it only takes up to 8.4W
at maximum powering, and is completely suitable for fanless design. Without any cooling
fan onboard, it can avoid the heat problem when the cooler failed in accidence.
Onboard TTL/LVDS LCD interface
Based on the AMD Geode GX533@400Mhz of integrated graphics, the board provides
onboard graphics with up to 4/8/12/16 MB of frame buffer, 18-bit/24-bit LVDS and 24-bit
TTL interfaces.
Embedded Component
Due to the low profile design, the board provides PCMICA card Bus, CF card socket for
flash disk with porting embedded OS and up to 512MB of DDR SO-DIMM.
Single Voltage Input
The board only requires DC 12V input; user’s can easily connect the board with an adapter
without the huge power supply.
