PC/104 is a compact version of the ISA bus. PC/104 is intended for specialized embedded computing environments where applications depend on reliable data acquisition despite an often extreme environment.

  • Reduced form-factor to 90 by 96 mm.
  • Eliminated the need for backplanes or card cages, through its self-stacking bus
  • Minimized component count and power consumption (to typically 1-2 Watts per module), by reducing required bus drive on most signals to 4 mA.

PC/104 modules can be of two bus types, 8-bit and 16-bit. These correspond to the PC and PC/AT buses, respectively.
