Modularity in New Rugged Compact PC Enhances Functionality in Low Power Embedded Systems
Eletter Product
Aitech has released a low profile rugged compact PC that provides exceptional design flexibility in a low power, high performance computing system. Developed around a standard Type 6 COM Express module, the new A172 features an industry standard pinout and the ability to support multiple processor options for easy system integration as well as cost effective technology insertion upgrades.
The A172 offers exceptional speed and performance for its 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 processor through high speed, fast access memory capacities with up to 16 GB of DDR3L SDRAM as well as two internal mSATA SSD slots for standard mini Flash drives, totaling up to 128 GB, and two mini PCIe slots for standard mini PCIe modules to further increase system functionality.
Multiple I/O options include up to four independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, four USB 2.0 interfaces and eight serial ports with multiple RS232, RS422, or RS485 configurations as well as two CANbus and eight single-ended, buffered LVTTL discrete digital I/O ports.
Two single link DVI outputs and an audio line with stereo in/out round out the unit's available I/O. The optional frame grabber provides up to 8 channels of DVI inputs, capturing all eight channels simultaneously. Wi-Fi connectivity is also available by plugging in a USB Wi-Fi antenna into the front panel's USB 3.0 port.
The IP65 environmental sealing and natural convection cooling contribute to the A172's ability to withstand harsh, rugged environments.
With an integrated power input line filter and supporting a wide input voltage range from 12 VDC to 32 VDC, the A172 provides the integrator greater flexibility for system power. The input is also MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-1275 compliant for power and electrical integrity across the entire voltage range. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).
Fully tested and military environmentally qualified, the A172 is in stock and ready for immediate delivery.
