SAM440ep-flex, FlexATX-Motherboard, 440ep/733 MHz (667 MHz CPU clocked at 733 MHz) + AmigaOS4.1
Sam440ep is the first modular motherboard produced by ACube Systems Srl.
The main characteristics are:
low power consumption
passive cooling
scalability
can run
AmigaOS 4.1
The core of the board is the PowerPC 440EP, a System On Chip (SoC) produced by AMCC under license from IBM.
One of the main features of the PowerPC AMCC 440EP is the presence, together with the CPU, of a number of integrated peripherals. This allowed us to build a complete system with a huge savings of both development and debug time, with less components and space used on the PCB. This also results in a significant cost reduction for the customer.
As a consequence the northbridge/southbridge combination is not present on the board. Part of their functionalities are built into the CPU.
The 440EP chip has a size of 35x35 mm, with a PBGA packaging (456 balls). It is built with CMOS (0.13 um) technology, has a very low power consumption (only 3 Watts at 533Mhz) and it does not require any active cooling system.
