RuffSystem Setup About the RuffSystem The RuffSystem products are intended for users of turn-key embedded systems who prefer long life-cycle, configuration controlled computers instead of desktop grade systems with frequently changing motherboards. RuffSystem models feature the LittleBoard 735 Single Board Computer (SBC), the LittleBoard 800 SBC, or the COM 840 (Computer On Module) with the EBX baseboard.
RuffSystem Setup Device/Peripheral Connections • Ethernet (LAN) connection • USB device connections • Up to two PC/104 expansion modules Power Specifications Tables 1 through 3 define the current draw values of the three RuffSystem models, featuring either the LittleBoard 735, COM 840, or the LittleBoard 800. The tables capture In-Rush, Idle, and Burn-In-Test currents at incremental input voltages from +14 to +32 VDC. Table 1 lists the current draw values of the RuffSystem with the LittleBoard 735.
