Embedded SBC targets low-power applications
Kontron
KTA55/pITX
Kontron has introduced the KTA55/pITX, a Pico-ITX embedded single board computer (SBC) that, at 2.5in, is Kontron's smallest SBC platform based on the AMD Embedded G-Series with Fusion technology.
With its broad range of dedicated interfaces, footprint of 100 x 72mm and low power requirements, Kontron's newest embedded SBC is claimed to be the fastest and most cost-effective entry into the development of graphics-intensive small form factor applications.
With the Kontron KTA55/pITX SBC, OEMs can utilise DirectX 11, full HD video display and dual-screen control, while reducing development time for small box applications, such as those found in digital signs and user-friendly sales kiosks.
With 9W TDP for the accelerated processing unit, which integrates one or two 64bit processor cores, a programmable graphics unit, a PCI Express Gen 2.0 controller and a DDR3 RAM controller, the Kontron 2.5in Pico-ITX embedded SBC KTA55/pITX is targeted at low-power applications.
Developers are able to use existing cooling concepts from Kontron's portfolio to accelerate the system development.
Target applications include all SFF applications with high graphics and video performance requirements.
That includes POS/POI multimedia kiosks and dual-screen installations in infotainment systems, control rooms and machine controls.
