Micro-controller vs. Sub-Credit card size PC
JUMPtec DIMM-Concept provides cost effective embedded PC

Have you already thought of the application of the PC-architecture and considered the PC as the engine for communications and distributed applications?

YES:  You should read this!
NO:   You should read this immediately!


What you may have heard about embedded PCs
  • Embedded PCs are mechanically large
  • The hardware of an Embedded PC is expensive
  • The power consumption of an embedded PC is usually high
  • PCs most often have to be used with ribbon cables which are a possible cause of error

What you may have heard about Micro-controllers
  • The software-development is much more complicated and expensive than under a standard operating system.
  • Connection to standard-interfaces such as LANs, modems and the Internet requires complicated driver software. Graphical user interfaces can be realized only by large programming efforts.
  • The development tools are not as powerful by far, as PC-programming systems.
  • Micro-controllers by far do not have as many different PC-SW development tools available.
  • This is why the purchase price is usually considerably higher for micro-controller development tools.
  • There are ready-made software solutions available for standard tasks only in a very limited extent.
What we can tell you today!

  • With the DIMM-PC, JUMPtec has aimed at the micro-controllers market and has presented a completely new concept for the embedded PC-solution.
  • The DIMM-PC solves the problems of size and cabling.
  • The prices have been drastically reduced thanks to new technical designs, making the solution of using a DIMM-PC possible for many distributed applications.
  • The DIMM-PC today needs less board surface than most micro-controller applications
  • The costs of the embedded PC has been decreased drastically by the DIMM architecture.
  • The complicated cabling of an embedded PC does no longer exist due to the DIMM architecture.
  • The user can start the software development immediately on standard-PC.
What else?
  • A standard operating system running on the embedded PC like LINUX opens doors to an unlimited source of professional - but free - software.
