PC/104 Architecture
The PC/104 architecture affords a great deal of flexibility in system design. You can build a simple system
using only a CoreModule Single Board Computer (SBC) with input/output devices connected to its serial or
USB ports and a Compact Flash card in the Compact Flash socket. To expand a simple CoreModule system,
simply add self-stacking ADLINK MiniModules or 3rd party PC/104 expansion boards to provide
additional capabilities, such as:
•Additional I/O ports
•Analog or digital I/O interfaces
PC/104 expansion modules can be stacked with the CoreModule 435 avoiding the need for card cages and
backplanes. The PC/104 expansion modules can be mounted directly to the PC/104 bus connector of the
CoreModule 435. PC/104-compliant modules can be stacked with an inter-board spacing of ~0.66" (16.7
mm) so that a 3-module system fits in a 3.6" x 3.8" x 2.4" space. See Figure 2-1.
One or more MiniModule products or other PC/104 modules can be installed on the CoreModule expansion
connectors. When installed on the PC/104 headers, the expansion modules fit within the CoreModule outline
dimensions. Most MiniModule products have stack-through connectors compatible with the PC/104 Version
2.5 specification. Several modules can be stacked on the CoreModule headers. Each additional module
increases the thickness of the package by 0.60" (15 mm). See Figure 2-1.

Chapter 2Product Overview
Product Description
The CoreModule 435 SBC is an exceptionally high integration, x86-based PC compatible system in the
PC/104 form factor. This rugged and high quality single board system contains all the component
subsystems of a PC/AT motherboard plus the equivalent of several PC/AT expansion boards.
In addition, the CoreModule 435 SBC includes a comprehensive set of system extensions and enhancements
that are specifically designed for embedded systems. These enhancements—such as Watchdog Timer and
Oops! Jumper—ensure fail-safe embedded system operation. The CoreModule 435 is designed to meet the
size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded applications. The
CoreModule 435 requires a single +5V power source.
The CoreModule 435 SBC is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications. Its
flexibility makes system design quick and easy. It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules or other
PC/104-compliant expansion boards, or it can be used as the computing engine in a fully customized
application.
