Mini-ITX Series: commercial-off-the-shelf systems from Adlink
Adlink Technology is offering a series of new Mini-ITX computing platforms that are ready for use as commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems for infotainment (gaming/retail), medical, and industrial automation applications that require rich I/O options and high-performance graphics capabilities.
The high-performance Mini-ITX embedded boards are based on both 4th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 desktop processors and AMD Embedded Second Generation R-Series APUs. These high-end boards specifically target the infotainment and industrial automation markets. Boards come with a number of hardware features, such as support for both a PEG x16 card slot and an additional PCIe x1 I/O card slot. Additional features include a removable BIOS chip, a vertical USB port for security dongles, and SATA docking sockets to accommodate SATA-DOM (disk-on-module). All boards feature dual power inputs that allow for use of either a single 12V-DC power supply or a standard ATX power supply. The boards further offer up to four serial ports (RS232/422/485) and multiple USB 2.0/3.0 ports.
Entry-level Mini-ITX embedded boards are based on the latest Intel Atom processor roadmap and mainly focus on industrial automation and medical applications. These Intel Atom processor-based Mini-ITX boards are also available in Extreme Rugged versions for operation in -40degC to +85degC environments.
Henk van Bremen, senior director of Adlink's Module Computing Product Segment explains: "All of Adlink's Mini-ITX boards follow a strict form, fit, function principle. When a customer wants to move to a newer generation Mini-ITX board in the future, there is no need to modify existing enclosures and cabling, saving time and resources and reducing solution cost."
Adlink's new series of Mini-ITX platforms follows the company's proven industrial design process, including Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), extended operating temperature, MIL-STD, and shock & vibration. Adlink's Mini-ITX embedded boards are offered with a 7-year product availability.
All of Adlink's Mini-ITX embedded boards come equipped with SEMA (Smart Embedded Management Agent), enabling on-premises management and control of distributed devices. Adlink's SEMA-equipped devices connect seamlessly to the SEMA Cloud to enable remote monitoring, autonomous status analysis, custom data collection, and initiation of appropriate actions. All collected data, including sensor measurements and management commands, are available through a web interface or via API from any place, at any time via encrypted data connection.
