The CP9 platform is designed to support processors starting with 1 GHz up to 1.8 GHz. It offers low power consumption and eliminates the need for on-board fans. The design is ready to accept future higher performance Intel® Pentium® M Processor versions. The CP9 provides a unique feature set, including up to 2 GB of DDR SDRAM (200) with ECC, three independent on-board PCI buses, high speed support for the CPCI backplane,two PMC interfaces (64-bit/66MHz and 32-bit/33 MHz). A high level of functional integration (VGA/TFT, USB, serial interfaces, etc.) within a single board and wide front panel gives users the freedom to use the PMC interfaces as extension for their applications.

The board is also available in extended temperature version ranging from -40° to +85° C.
