2 Introduction

2.1 ETX®-LX

The ETX®-LX is an ETX® (Embedded Technology eXtended) form factor computer-on-module combining

the extremely low power consumption and high performance of the AMD Geode™ LX 800 Processor with

integrated Northbridge and the AMD CS5536 Companion Device. The LX 800 features a 128KB L2 Cache

and supports DDR400 SODIMM up to 1024 MB.

The ETX®-LX is fully compliant with the ETX® Component SBC™ Specification V3.0. This computer-on-

module features a 32-bit/33MHz PCI Bus Interface, IDE, serial ports, parallel port, Ethernet, Compact

Flash, USB v2.0, LVDS panel support, keyboard/mouse and AC‘97 audio. The flexibility of the ETX®

computer-on-module concept allows the baseboard designer to optimize how each of these functions is

physically implemented.

2.2 ETX® Documentation

This product manual serves as one of three principal references for an ETX® design. It documents the

specifications and features of ETX®-LX modules. The other two references, which are available from the

Kontron Web site, include:

The ETX® Specification defines the ETX® module form factor, pin out, and signals. You should read this

first.

The ETX® Design Guide serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on maximum

flexibility to accommodate a range of ETX® modules.

2.3 ETX® Benefits

Embedded technology extended (ETX®) modules are very compact (~100mm square, 12mm thick),

highly integrated computers. All ETX® modules feature a standardized form factor and a standardized

connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. This standardization allows designers to create a

single-system baseboard that can accept present and future ETX® modules.

ETX® modules include common personal computer (PC) peripheral functions such as:

Graphics

Parallel, Serial, and USB ports

Keyboard/mouse

Ethernet

Sound

IDE

The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically.

Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to

optimally fit a system‘s packaging.
