WAFER-945GSE 3.5" Motherboard
The WAFER-945GSE 3.5” motherboards are embedded 45 nm Intel® Atom™ processor
platforms. The Intel® Atom™ processor N270 embedded on the WAFER-945GSE has a
1.60 GHz clock speed, a 533 MHz FSB and a 512 KB L2 cache. The WAFER-945GSE
also supports one 200-pin 533 MHz 2.0 GB (max.) DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM. The board
comes with an LVDS connector and supports both 18-bit and 36-bit single channel LVDS
screens. The WAFER-945GSE also comes with two PCI Express (PCIe) Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) connectors and a PCIe mini slot on the solder side.
