TECHNICAL SPECS |
Sam440ep is the first modular motherboard produced by ACube Systems Srl.
The main characteristics are:
- low power consumption
- passive cooling
- scalability
The core of the board is the PowerPC 440EP, a System On Chip (SoC) produced
by AMCC under license from IBM.
One of the main features of the PowerPC AMCC 440EP is the presence, together
with the CPU, of a number of integrated peripherals. This allowed us to
build a complete system with a huge savings of both development and debug
time, with less components and space used on the PCB. This also results
in a significant cost reduction for the customer.
As a consequence the northbridge/southbridge combination is not present on the board. Part of their functionalities
are built into the CPU.
The 440EP chip has a size of 35x35 mm, with a PBGA packaging (456 balls).
It is built with CMOS (0.13 um) technology, has a very low power consumption
(only 3 Watts at 533Mhz) and it does not require any active cooling system.
