Overview
The Mamba is an embedded single board computer (SBC) featuring a high-performance Intel
Core 2 Duo processor. Based on the EBX industry-standard form factor, the Mamba supports
PC/104-Plus stackable expansion boards. With its combination of very high performance (up to
2.26 GHz), mid-range power consumption (18.5W typ.), and extensive on-board I/O capabilities,
the Mamba is an ideal embedded computer solution for medical, security, defense, transportation,
and industrial applications that rely on fast on-board processing of large amounts of data.
Like all VersaLogic products, the Mamba 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 Mamba provides a durable embedded computer solution with
an excellent cost of ownership. The Mamba is manufactured and tested to the highest quality
standards and is fully RoHS compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities.

Details
Driven by a 2nd generation Intel Core 2 Duo processor designed specifically for embedded
applications, the Mamba runs at up to 2.26 GHz. 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.
Intel’s GM45 + ICH9M chipset offers graphics core speeds up to 533 MHz for high-end graphics,
advanced 3D rendering, high-definition video playback, and media acceleration for video CODECs.
A dual-channel LVDS flat panel interface and an analog VGA video interface support a wide range
of display configurations.
Mamba’s standard on-board features include dual gigabit Ethernet, two SO-DIMM sockets for up to
8 GB DDR3 RAM, six USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, two SATA ports, HD audio, and eUSB flash
storage. On-board data acquisition features include up to sixteen analog inputs, up to eight analog
outputs, and thirty-two digital I/O lines. The PC/104-Plus expansion site provides plug-in access to
industry-standard expansion modules. Additional system expansion and communications flexibility
is available via the on-board PCI Express Mini Card socket which can accommodate plug-in Wi-Fi
modems, GPS receivers, and more. VersaLogic’s SPX expansion interface creates additional access
to cost-effective plug-in I/O including analog, digital, and CANbus solutions.
Available in both industrial (-40° to +85°C) and commerical (0° to +60°C) temperature versions; the
Mamba meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Transient voltage suppression
