2 GB RAM on compact Qseven modules

Stutensee, Germany – The MSC Vertriebs GmbH consistently expands its product portfolio of compact embedded Qseven™ modules in the 70 x 70mm format based on the Intel® Atom™ processor. For memory-demanding applications the Qseven™ module MSC Q7-US15W-FD is now not only available with 512 MB or 1 GB memory, but also with an onboard 2GB DDR2-533 SDRAM. 

Furthermore the Qseven™ module MSC Q7-US15W-FD with integrated 4 GB flash will be complemented by a 2 GB flash disk version. The industrial grade flash disk offers an endurance of 10 millions write cycles. The modules allow customers to boot their embedded system not only via an external hard disk but also via the  flash disk. Supported are the operating systems Windows® XP (embedded) and Linux. 

The Qseven™ module MSC Q7-US15W-FD is available in two performance grades with the power saving Intel® Atom™ processor Z530 (1.6GHz) or Z510 which runs at 1.1GHz clock frequency. The Z530 CPU supports Hyper Threading and Intel® Virtualisation Technology. The board also integrates the System Control Hub Intel® US15W featuring the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500. 

The computer-on-module MSC Q7-US15W-FD offers a broad selection of important interfaces defined in the Qseven™ specification. Eight USB 2.0 ports, one PCI Express™ x1 lane, LPC, High Definition Audio, two SATA channels at 150MB/s and an 10/100/1000Base TX Ethernet interface are available. A variety of different displays can be connected via LVDS (18/24 Bit) with a maximal resolution of 1366×768 and  via SVDO with 1920×1080 pixels. In the dual independent display mode two displays can be driven simultaneously. 

For evaluation and design-in of its Qseven™ module family MSC offers a complete reference platform.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
