Fujitsu: new versions of Mini-ITX D3003-S3 mainboard series

Fujitsu add another product version to their series of Mini-ITX mainboards for industrial use. D3003-S3 is equipped with an AMD A55E Controller Hub chip set, an AMD T56N Dual-Core processor, and an internal 24-bit Dual-Channel LVDS. This allows for operating displays larger than 12’’ at the highest resolution in HD quality, something which is not possible with conventional 18-bit Single-Channel LVDS. The product will be shown first at Embedded World.

The Mini-ITX mainboards are designed for challenging applications in an extended temperature range from 0 to 60 °C found in the fields of automation, medical engineering, kiosks, and digital signage. With the D3003-S3, applications with onboard displays now also profit from the performance of a Dual-Core processor.The extended-lifetime Mini-ITX boards are equipped with an AMD A55E Controller Hub chip set. Model 3003-S1 supports AMD’s low-energy processor FT1 Single-Core T44R (9W), while models D3003-S2 and D3003-S3 support AMD FT1 Dual-Core T56N (18W). The CPU comes with an integrated high-performance ATI graphics controller supporting VGA, DVI, HDMI, and 24-bit Dual Channel LVDS.

The second onboard LAN connection supports a wide range of functions with the best possible alignment of components, even for small Mini-ITX mainboards with a small number of extension slots. The mSATA solution offers tremendous advantages over conventional CF cards in terms of data transfer rates. Mounted horizontally on the mainboard with standoffs, it allows assembly of the mainboards in a housing with only one unit of height. Several special features guaranteeing the safe operation of the board include the Watchdog. It controls both the operating system and boot process and performs a restart or shutdown in case of problems. The System Management Controller monitors and adjusts temperature levels and cooling fans regardless of which operating system or CPU is used. The System Guard software tool helps with visualising and setting the parameters for the System Management Controller.

Additional Tools, such as LVDS-Settings (for adjusting the Video BIOS to an LVDS panel under the user’s own auspices), SilentFanConfig (for adjusting the cooler fan settings to the customer’s requirements), and CDV Adapt (for flashing customer-specific BIOS parameters without manual adjustment), enhance operating comfort during design-in and system production. All of these features testify to Fujitsu’s comprehensive system competence in the field of industrial mainboards.
