EM04N (MEN MIKRO)

The EM04N is a complete embedded single-board computer for use on any carrier board in different industrial environments. The final application consists either of a stand-alone EM04N, the EM04N with an application-specific carrier card and/or with additionally plugged PCI-104 modules. The EM04N is controlled by an MPC8245 PowerPC (Kahlua II) microprocessor which operates at 266MHz up to 400MHz. The MPC8245 includes a Floating Point Unit and a Memory Management Unit. The EM04N has an SO-DIMM socket for data and a CompactFlash slot for program storage. At its front panel the EM04N provides two RS232 interfaces and two Fast Ethernet channels. Additionally, nearly unlimited I/O functionality such as graphics controllers, serial interfaces, CAN bus controller etc. can be realized in a very flexible and cost-effective way by means of an onboard FPGA. Physical interfaces for such functions must be implemented on the carrier board.
