The Ampro Pentium® CoreModule/P5e is a perfect "macrocomponent" for developers who want to embed true Pentium performance in their application, but who need to focus their design resources on their application's unique hardware, software, and packaging requirements.

Extensive power management, in both hardware and software, results in extremely low power operation. Intel®'s "ball grid aray" (BGA) mobile Pentium processor ("Tillamook") provides superior thermal characteristics and reduces cooling requirements, while allowing the module to operate at extended temperature ranges.

To support the low voltage (3.3 and 1.9 VDC) requirements of the Pentium processor and core logic, Ampro built a highly efficient DC-to-DC converter into the CoreModule / P5e, resulting in single-supply (+5 VDC) system operation and minimal power consumption. The module also features a temperature sensor which can trigger clock reduction for proper CPU thermal conditioning. Two system expansion busses—PCI and ISA—offer the ultimate in system integration flexibility.
