High Performance in a New Package for Embedded Applications
 Today's sophisticated embedded applications demand high performance together with lower power dissipation. Intel is meeting the challenge with its 166MHz and 266MHz Low-power Embedded Pentium® processors with MMX™ technology. Both processors are available in the HL-PBGA package (high-thermal, low-profile plastic ball grid array), the first Pentium processor package specifically designed for the embedded market segment. For more information on these products, see the product overview. The 166MHZ Pentium processor is also available in extended temperature ranges -40°C to +115°C.
Low Power
Based on Intel's 0.25 micron manufacturing process, the maximum thermal design power specification has been cut in half compared to Intel's specifications for Pentium processors with MMX technology on the 0.35 micron process (4.5W vs. 9.0W at 166MHz). (Performance in actual applications may vary from Intel's specifications.) Maximum power dissipation at 266 MHz is just 7.6W. In some applications developers may be able use the 166 MHz processor without a heatsink, for simpler, cost-saving designs.
Better Thermal Efficiency
The superior thermal properties of the HL-PBGA package, combined with the Low-power dissipation of the processors, allow them to operate with a 0-95° C case temperature, a 25-degree increase over previous implementations.
Target Applications
- Retail point-of-sale terminals and automated teller machines
- Industrial automation devices, test and measurement equipment, and ruggedized PCs
- Telecommunications switches, data switches, access concentrators and routers
Tools and Support
Intel® Architecture offers tools, programming expertise and code compatibility, as well as Intel's numerous other embedded computing building blocks such as flash memory, chipsets, graphic controllers and networking components. The Low-power Embedded Pentium processors are supported by Intel's 430TX chipset.
Detailed information about the Low-power Embedded Pentium processor with MMX technology can be found in the technical documentation listed below.
