PC/104-Plus Form Factor
Supports PC/104™ and PC/104-Plus expansion modules on a
highly rugged format.
Overview
The Tiger is an embedded single board computer (SBC) featuring a high-performance Intel
Atom Z5xx processor. Based on the PC/104-Plus industry standard form factor, the Tiger
supports both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus stackable expansion boards. With its combination of
high performance (up to 1.6 GHz), low power consumption (6W typ. while executing code), and
fanless operation, the Tiger is an ideal embedded computer solution for space, weight, and
power (SWaP) constrained embedded applications in industrial, energy, defense/aerospace,
medical, and robotics markets.
Like all VersaLogic products, the Tiger is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability
and long-term availability are required. From application design-in support, to its 5+ year production
life guarantee, the Tiger provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost of
ownership. The Tiger is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is fully RoHS
compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities.

System RAM
USB I/O
Up to 1.6 GHz performance with very low power draw.
Advanced 3D graphics and high-definition video decode.
Gigabit Ethernet with remote boot support.
Up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM.
Seven USB 2.0 ports support keyboard, mouse, and
other devices.
Details
Driven by an Intel Atom Z5xx processor designed specifically for embedded applications, the Tiger
runs completely fanless at 1.6 GHz (commercial temperature) or 1.33 GHz (industrial temperature).
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
technology provides dynamic processor frequency scaling to meet
instantaneous performance needs while minimizing power draw and heat dissipation. This allows
users to fine-tune the balance between power conservation and performance to suit their application
needs. Enhanced low-power states allow designers to further minimize overall power consumption.
The integrated graphics core of the Atom Z5xx processor supports advanced 3D graphics and
high-definition video decode. Video output is provided through an integrated LVDS flat panel video
interface and optional analog VGA support.
Tiger’s standard on-board features include gigabit Ethernet with network boot capability, SO-DIMM
socket for up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM, seven USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support
for two devices, HD audio, and a Disk on Module (DOM) socket for removable flash storage. PC/104-
Plus
expansion provides plug-in access to a wide variety of industry standard expansion modules.
VersaLogic’s SPX expansion interface provides access to cost-effective plug-in I/O including analog,
digital, CANbus, and custom I/O solutions.
Available in both industrial (-40° to +85°C) and commercial (0° to +60°C) temperature versions; the
Tiger meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Transient voltage suppression
(TVS) devices on critical I/O ports provide enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection which
