  • PC Form Factors
    PC Form Factors Computers come in different form factors. ATX is the most common. AT used to be the standard but is now obsolete. NLX and LPX are two others. These forms describe the shape and size of the motherboards, as well as the layout of the components on the board. The form factor will also determine the type of case you must buy, as the case is laid out differently and uses a different type of power supply. AT Form Factor Within the AT form, we have regular AT and Baby AT. They basically differ in size. An AT board is about 12" wide which means it can't fit in many of today's cases. AT boards generally are the older boards, 386 or earlier. Working inside the case was a lot more trouble with these because the size of the motherboard overlapped drive bays and such. Baby AT is the form used by many 486 and Pentium boards.. Many Socket 7 motherboards and a few Pentium II boards used this form factor. A Baby AT board is roughly 8.5" wide and 13" long. The size varies a little from board to board. This reduced size makes it easier to work inside the case simply because there is more room. There are three rows of mounting holes to hold the board in the case. AT form boards share common traits. They all have serial and parallel ports attached to the case in an expansion slot and connected to the board through cables. They also have a single keyboard connector soldered onto the board at the back of the board.

    An ACCES I/O Products Whitepaper ETX Driving Embedded I/O ACCES I/O Products, Inc., 10623 Roselle Street, San Diego, CA 92121 (858) 550-9559 • Fax (858) 550-7322 • [email protected] • www.accesio.com One of the fastest-growing concepts in the embedded world is the “computer-on-module” or COM.The COM approach takes the traditional concept of a computer motherboard with plug- in I/O modules and turns it around so that the motherboard, now called a baseboard, con- tains all the I/O and the CPU with its core support chips and memory plug in as a module. The result of this reversal is an approach that blends the advantages of custom design with those of standard products. Products based on the COM approach maintain long-term viabil- ity while retaining access to the latest in computer technology. One of the principal COM implementations available in the market is the Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) specification, first developed by Kontron in early 2000. The ETX specification defines a module that is approximate- ly 100-mm square (see Figure 1) and contains the core of a personal computer (PC), including CPU, chipset, mem- aper ory, and core I/O capability. The core I/O includes Ethernet, graphics, USB, keyboard, mouse, and serial interfaces along with a PCI/ISA bus for connection to additional peripherals. Four surface-mount connectors route the mod- ule’s I/O to the baseboard, which can be designed to meet an application’s specific needs. P The original ETX specification was quickly adopted in the embedded industry and is now monitored by the ETX Industrial Group (ETXIG), which is dedicated to keeping the specification in line with advancing technology and market needs.
