Overview Overview
SCE8720Cxx (CARD/PCI/GX) is the first product in SEIKO EPSON's CARD-PCI series
equipped with the PCI bus. With the PCI bus, ability of enhancement, which enables
various PCI devices to be connected, is realized.
By utilizing the Geode 200 MHz low voltage product, which comprises CPU core, and the
companion chip manufactured by National Semiconductor, low power consumption, low
cost and high quality display (CRT1280 × 1024, 256-color) are all realized. Especially, this
low power consumption capability is one of the most important aspects to realize fan-less,
which is required in applications requiring high liability.
All these capabilities are provided within a compact size of 101.6 ± 1.0 × 63.5 ± 0.3 × 16.0 ±
1.0 (mm) with 280-pin and 20-pin interface connectors.
Because SCE8720C can easily enable the core capabilities of IBM PC/AT, including BIOS,
users can drastically decrease system development manpower and period.
In addition, future CARD-PCI series will also be able to be used with the same main board
only requiring consideration on the card's mounting area and power supply.
