Full Speed, No Fan

Oct. 1, 2003
The EBC-C3 is a 733 MHz, fanless single board computer with an operational temperature range of –400 to +850 Celsius for use in harsh and demanding industrial applications.

The EBX-sized board supports Windows CE.Net, Windows XP embedded, Linux and other x86-compatible operating systems. The EBC-C3 is based on the 733 MHz VIA (Taipei, Taiwan) fanless Eden ESP7000 processor, which consumes only 6 watts of Maximum Thermal Design Power and nearly 1 watt of typical power when running at a 733 MHz clock speed. This means it can run full speed at extended temperatures without a fan, the vendor says. The board includes a rich mix of memory and I/O functions and capabilities, including two Intel 82551 Ethernet controllers that support 10/100 Mbps data transfers. Delivery is from stock to three weeks with a price of $695 each in moderate volumes.
