1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6180 Rev. B Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses
Intel
®
's highly acclaimed Tualatin/Pentium
®
III / Celeron
™
processor,
together with the Intel
®
815E (B)chipset. The card works with stan-
dard ISA- or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.
The CPU provides 512/256/128 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the
need for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up
to four devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two
devices). Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550
UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port
(supports SPP/EPP but PCA-6180 Rev. B does not support ECP) and
four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE control-
ler supports Ultra ATA/100/66/33 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This
provides data transfer rates of 100/66/33 MB/sec. System BIOS
supports boot-up from an IDE HDD/CD-ROM, SCSI HDD/CD-ROM,
LS-120, ZIP-100, FDD, and LAN.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 255-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program
cannot be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in
unattended environments.
The PCA-6180 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as a chipset integrated VGA (AGP) controller, a PCI Ultra 160 SCSI
controller, dual 10/100Base-T networking controllers, three DIMM
slots for a total of 512 MB SDRAM memory, and an ISA High Drive.
All these make it an ideal choice for applications that require both high
performance and full functionality.
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not
available with all models. For more information about
the specifications of a particular model, see Section
