Boards & Modules
ATX and microATX Motherboards
ITOX G7L630-B ATX and G7L330-B microATX motherboards
use the Intel® 945G Express chipset supported under Intel's
Embedded Architecture program. It accepts a wide performance
range of Intel LGA775 packaged processors. Optimized for the
Intel Pentium D featuring dual-core architecture, these mother-
boards retain full compatibility with the Intel Pentium 4 proces-
sor, Celeron D processor and Celeron processor and perform
using DDR2 533/667 dual-channel memory, onboard PCI-
Express Gigabit Ethernet controller, and support for PCI-
Express 16 expansion cards.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) Smart Power Module
Interface Controller Provides Single
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced its Power Factor Correction
Board Analog/Digital Interconnection
(PFC) Smart Power Module (SPMTM) to implement the Partial Power
Factor Correction Switching Converter (PSC) circuit topology which
is suitable for 1 kW to3 kW air conditioners. By triggering the IGBTs
at every half cycle of the line current, the PFC-SPM FSAB20PH60
provides 97 percent of power factor (typical) and full compliance
with the mandatory PFC standard IEC61000-3-2, while offering bet-
ter EMI (electromagnetic interference) characteristics than higher
frequency switching topologies, according to the company. The price
is $13.48 each in 100-piece quantities.
