Portwell has announced the NANO-8045 and NANO-8050 embedded Nano-ITX motherboards.
The NANO-8045 Nano-ITX board features either Intel AtomZ530 (1.6GHz) and the Z510 (1.1GHz) CPUs, with a power consumption under 10W. It supports a maximum of 2 GB RAM (SODIMM), DVI and 24-bit LVDS, Gigabit Ethernnet.
“The NANO-8045 is specifically designed to operate at a very low power consumption (less than 10 watts at full loading) and low heat,” says Jack Lam, American Portwell Technology’’s senior product marketing manager, “so it can be a truly fanless and battery operated configuration that supports multiple storage devices.”
The NANO-8050 Nano-ITX board supports Intel Celeron® M/ULV Core 2 Duo processors with GS45 Express chipset. It supports a maximum of 2 GB RAM (SODIMM),VGA and 24-bit LVDS, Gigabit Ethernnet, PCIe x1.
“The new ultra low voltage NANO-8050 is a second generation Nano-ITX board that underscores Portwell’s continuing commitment to producing superior small form factor embedded system boards,” says Frank Shen, American Portwell Technology’s product marketing director. “It features Intel GS45 Express chipset integrated with a built-in GMA 4500MHD graphic engine to provide excellent 3D graphics performance and supports Intel Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Core™ 2 Duo and Celeron® M processors.”

Portwell has announced the WEBS series, a family of embedded system solutions based on Intel Atom CPUs.
Each member of American Portwell Technology’s WEBS family utilizes Intel’s Atom™ processor to provide: low power consumption; high performance-per-watt advantages; fanless design for mission-critical applications; versatile storage interface and easy data access; and a compact and user-friendly design that makes installation and maintenance a snap.
The WEBS series consists of the following:
- WEBS-2120: based on Nano-ITX motherboard with Intel Atom Z510/Z530 CPU and US15W chipset; power consumption of 5W.
- WEBS-1310/1320: based on ECX motherboard with Intel Atom Z510/Z530 CPU and US15W chipset; power consumption of 5W.
- WEBS-3330/4330: based on Mini-ITX motherboard with Intel Atom N270 CPU and 945GSE + ICH7M chipset; power consumption of 10W.
Each system supports on 200-pin SODIMM for up to 2GB DDR2 RAM, CF slot, 2.5″ hard drive (IDE for WEBS-1310/1320, SATA for WEBS-2120/3330/4330), Gigabit Ethernet (2 ports for the WEBS-3330/4330).
The WEBS-3330 and WEBS-4330 feature dual display with VGA and DVI output. The WEBS-2120, WEBS-1310 and WEBS-1320 feature a SD slot.
