The Catalyst Module XL from Eurotech is based on the Intel® Atom™ Z5xxP processor and the Intel System Controller Hub US15WP (Intel® SCH US15W). The Intel Atom processor is implemented using 45nm, High-K technology to offer high-end performance while reducing power consumption, and is validated with the Intel SCH US15W chipset which integrates graphics, memory, and I/O into a small package.

The Catalyst Module XL leverages the advantages of this Intel® technology to provide an ideal embedded solution for high performance in low power, extended temperature applications. The Catalyst Module XL comes in the same small form factor as our popular Catalyst Module and offers comprehensive I/O and multimedia capabilities while consuming less than 5W of power per system.
Customization
The adapter board’s two-card design gives customers the option to either start with a standard version or design their own to meet unique application requirements while reducing time to market. The Catalyst Module XL offers further flexibility by supporting several operating system options including Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard®, CE®, Wind River Linux 3.0®, and targeted real time operating systems (RTOS).
