EPSM-10GX
Ultra-Compact Managed 26-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
The EPSM-10GX is a managed Layer 2+ Ethernet switch module in an ultra-compact 2.2″ x 3.3″ (55×84mm) size offering 24 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports + 2 10Gbps SFI ports. The module is intended to be used on a carrier board. The core Ethernet switching technology is almost fully encapsulated on the module; for many applications, only the «last inch» of magnetics and I/O connectors is required to complete the circuit, enabling easy development of custom form factor Ethernet switch solutions.
The small size, based on the industry-standard COM Express Mini form factor, makes EPSM-10GX a perfect choice for use as a building block for creating custom Ethernet switch solutions in a variety of space-demanding applications, such as drones, ground and underwater vehicles, and robots. EPSM-10GX can also be mounted on a carrier board to create quick Ethernet switching solutions in other industry standard form factors such as VPX. Customers looking for a complete off-the-shelf solution may be interested in Diamond's EPS-24G2X, which provides all of the switch’s features in the industry standard 3.5 inch form factor.
The standard Layer 2 software embedded in the module provides a comprehensive set of Ethernet switch features suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. All features are manageable via a GUI web interface accessible over any port, as well as with a command language accessed via a built-in RS-232 port. A more advanced software package, offering Layer 3 routing performance as well as IEEE1588 PTP protocol, is available upon request. These features are fully supported in the EPSM-10GX hardware.
Two cooling accessory options are available: A heat sink provides convection cooling in a low profile, while a heat spreader provides improved conduction cooling for superior high temperature performance in applications where physical contact with the system enclosure is available.
Two high-speed connectors provide all power and data communications between the module and the carrier board. The first connector provides power, 9 10/100/1000 ports, the serial interface, and a serial LED data stream. Applications requiring 9 ports or less may use just this connector. The second connector contains 3 more 10/100/1000 ports, QSGMII signals for an additional 12-port PHY to provide 12 additional 10/100/1000 ports, and the 2 10G SFI ports.
EPSM-10GX is designed to meet the challenges of vehicle environments with its −40/+85°C operating temperature range and its MIL-STD-202G shock/vibration resistance.
A design guide provides instructions for incorporating the EPSM-10GX into your own circuit. Under NDA a complete carrier board reference schematic and PCB layout are available to provide the starting point for a custom Ethernet switch based on the EPSM-10GX. This design is also available off the shelf as Diamond's EPS-24G2X product.

Zeta Miniature COM-Based SBC
Ultra-Small Solution with Integrated DAQ using COM Express Mini Type 10 CPU Modules
The Zeta COM Express SBC family of ultra-small embedded computer boards combines a COM Express Mini CPU module mounted on a same-size carrier board to create a complete embedded PC. Designed in the COM Express Mini Type 10 form factor (84×55mm/ 3.3×2.2 in), Zeta provides an ultra-compact, industry-standard form factor solution.
3 key components pre-assembled:
A Computer on Module (COM) providing the core CPU functionality
A carrier board providing the I/O transceivers and connectors, power supplies, and expansion sockets
A heat spreader with a flat exterior surface for direct mounting and heat transfer to the system enclosure
This layered architecture offers the highest functional density for any given footprint. As a comparison, Zeta offers functionality and performance equivalent to Diamond’s top-selling Aries SBC at just 40% of the size.
Zeta currently supports three processor options:
Intel Bay Trail E3825 1.33GHz Dual Core CPU with 2GB RAM
Apollo Lake E3940 1.6GHz quad core CPU with 4GB RAM
Apollo Lake N4200 1.1GHz (burstable to 2.5GHz) Quad Core CPU with 8GB RAM
Zeta’s small size and high feature density make it an ideal choice for mobile applications. It stands ready to meet the challenges of these environments with a wide range 6-36VDC input voltage, a −40 to +85°C operating temperature range, and fanless heat spreader cooling (heat sink options are available).
Benefits of COM-based SBCs
The use of interchangeable industry-standard CPU modules on Zeta offers two important system designer benefits:
Performance scalability: One can design multiple applications based on a consistent hardware platform and select the CPU that best fits the price / performance / power requirements of each one. In addition, as time goes on and your application needs more horsepower to support increased functionality, you can simply upgrade to a newer CPU with minimal to no redesign effort.
Long product life: The majority of today’s x86 embedded processors offer limited lifecycles of 5-7 years, so any long-life product dependent on an x86 single-board computer (SBC) is likely to require redesign sometime during its lifecycle. Using industry-standard COMs lets you easily migrate to a new generation CPU module in the exact same form factor and containing the same feature set, with virtually no hardware or physical redesign efforts. Zeta is ideal for long-life applications such as Military, Medical, and Transportation.
Venus
3.5 Inch Core i7/i5 SBC
Based on the "Skylake" 6th generation Core i7/i5 U series processor with PassMark rating up to 4800, Venus offers the highest available CPU performance in a small form factor rugged SBC with modest power consumption.
It incorporates a full suite of rugged features such as soldered memory, latching connectors, a thicker PCB, and true -40/+85ºC operating temperature, making it suitable for the most demanding vehicle applications.
High I/O density, multiple expansion sockets, rugged design, modest power consumption of 14W, and wide temperature operation combine to make Venus an extremely attractive option for applications requiring high CPU performance or ruggedness.

DIAMOND-MM-16RP-AT
PC/104 16-Bit Analog I/O Module with Autocalibration
The DMM-16RP-AT features top performance and flexibility for a mid-range price. It has 16 single-ended / 8 differential analog voltage inputs with both unipolar and bipolar input ranges, programmable gain, and a maximum sampling rate of 100KHz. The 4 D/A channels and 16 digital I/O lines provide additional real-world control and monitoring capability.
The full −40 to +85°C industrial temperature operation ensures reliable and accurate performance in any embedded system application. A fully-featured software library with example programs and a graphical user interface completes the solution to make the DMM-16RP-AT a solid choice for PC/104-Plus embedded systems requiring analog I/O.
DMM-16RP-AT is implemented as a PC/104-Plus board, however it features a novel dual bus interface. Both ISA and PCI connectors are installed and connected to the FPGA. The board will autoselect the PCI bus when present, however a jumper can be used to disable the PCI bus and force the board into ISA bus mode if desired.
This allows the board to be used in both PCI and ISA bus PC/104 systems (assuming the PCI-104 connector does not pose a mechanical interference problem with other boards in the system). The board uses 3.3V signaling on the PCI bus and must be used only with 3.3V PCI bus SBCs. The ISA bus uses the standard 5V logic levels.

DMM-16R-AT is fully compatible with the original DMM-16-AT analog I/O module and can serve as a drop-in replacement offering reduced cost and enhanced digital I/O features. The mechanical design, connector type and pinout, and software interface are all identical the original board, eliminating any mechanical or software engineering efforts.
