The WinSystems PPM-LX800-G is a PC/104-Plus single board computer engineered for embedded applications in harsh environments. Built around the AMD LX800 processor operating at 500 MHz with 0.9 W power consumption, this conformal-coated module delivers fanless operation across -40°C to +85°C. The 90 × 96 mm form factor fits space-constrained designs while supporting up to 1 GB SDRAM and CompactFlash storage. Protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes makes it suitable for demanding industrial and field deployments.
