Chapter 2Product Overview
This overview presents information about the PC/104 architecture and the CoreModule 720 Single Board
Computer (SBC). After reading this chapter you should understand:
•PC/104 architecture
•Product description
•Major components (ICs)
•Headers, Connectors, and Sockets
•Specifications
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 720 SBC, input/output devices connected to the serial, USB, or SATA ports, and
the on-board Solid State Disk storage device. To expand a simple CoreModule system, simply add selfstacking PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion boards to provide additional capabilities, such as:
•Additional serial and parallel ports
•Analog or high-speed digital I/O
Data Acquisition (Analog In/Out)
USB 2.0 expansion modules
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) expansion modules
Standard VGA video output
PC/104 or PC/104-Plus expansion modules can be stacked with the CoreModule 720 avoiding the need for
large, expensive card cages and backplanes. The PC/104-Plus expansion modules can be mounted directly to
the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors of the CoreModule 720. PC/104-compliant modules can be stacked
with an inter-board spacing of ~0.6 inches, so that a 3-module system fits in a 4.6" x 3.8" x 2.0" space. See
Figure 2-1.
One or more MiniModule products or other PC/104 modules can be installed on the CoreModule expansion
connectors, so that the expansion modules fit within the CoreModule outline dimensions. Most MiniModule
products have stackthrough connectors compatible with the PC/104-Plus Version 2.0 specification. Several
modules can be stacked on the CoreModule headers. Each additional module increases the thickness of the
package by ~17mm (0.6"). See Figure 2-1.

Product Description
The CoreModule 720 SBC is a highly integrated, high performance, Intel Atom™ E6XXT processor
based system, compatible with the PC/104 standard. This rugged and high quality single-board system
contains all the component subsystems of an ATX motherboard, plus the equivalent of several PCI
expansion boards.
The Intel Atom E6XXT series CPUs integrate processor cores with Graphics and Memory Controller Hubs
(GMCHs), providing low-power, high-performance processors, memory controllers for up to 2GB of DDR2
on-board memory, and graphics controllers which provide LVDS and SDVO signals for most LCD video
panels and CRT monitors.
The EG20T PCH (Platform Controller Hub) provides the I/O hub for a range of common interfaces
including six USB ports, four serial ports, and two SATA ports, as well as embedded interfaces for CAN,
GPIO, I2C, and SDIO. The CoreModule 720 provides a Solid State Drive through the SATA1 port and an
SD memory card socket through the SDIO port. The PCH connects to the CPU through the PCIe Port0, and
a Gigabit Ethernet controller connects to the CPU through PCIe Port2.
The CoreModule 720 can be expanded through the LPC and PCIe expansion buses using the PC/104 and
PC/104-Plus connectors for additional system functions. These buses offer compact, self-stacking, modular
expandability. The PC/104 bus is an embedded system version of the signal set provided on a desktop PC’s
ISA bus. The PC/104-Plus bus includes this signal set plus additional signals implementing a PCI bus,
available on a 120-pin (4 rows of 30 pins) PCI expansion bus connector. This PCI bus operates at a clock
speed of up to 66MHz, and the ISA bus operates at 8MHz.
The CoreModule 720 is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications and meets the
size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system
applications. It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules™ or other PC/104-compliant expansion
modules, or it can be used as a powerful computing engine. The CoreModule 720 requires a single +5V AT
power source.
