The VSX104+ is a new 300MHz PC/104-Plus CPU module with dual 10/100 LAN designed to complement Tri-M Engineering’s existing PC/104 product line. The VSX104+ features a fanless design with a complement of robust features such as extended temperature operation and soldered DDR2 RAM integrated in a small, low power package. The VSX104+ is RoHS compliant and conforms to the PC/104plus form factor which allows users to easily add a wide-range of low-cost I/O options. 
 
The VSX104+’s 300MHz DM&P Vortex86SX System-on-Chip (SoC) is a high performance and fully static 32-bit X86 processor designed to work with embedded operating systems including Windows®CE, Linux, DOS, and most popuar 32-bit RTOS. Standard features of the VSX104+ include 128MB soldered on DDR2 RAM, four COM ports, two USB2.0 ports and two 10/100 Ethernet ports. An 8-bit GPIO port and redundancy port are also standard features. In addition to 2MB onboard SPI flash (floppy emulation), it also includes both a Type I CompactFlash™ socket as well as a microSD socket. System expansion is supported by the PC/104plus interface.  
 
The VSX104+ is a compact design measuring 3.55” x 3.775” x 0.9” and has an operating temperature of -40º to +85ºC. Single +5VDC power is supplied through the PC/104 bus or 2-position screw terminal and total power consumption is a mere 2.5 Watts.
