Low Power Intel® AtomTM x6000RE on CompactPCI Serial for AI-based Applications, IIoT, and Transportation

EKF presents its new energy-efficient CompactPCI serial SBC SC8-FLUTE. It is

equipped with an Intel® AtomTM processor x6000RE and offers up to 1.9 GHz clock frequencies for compact modular CompactPCI serial systems. Three USB Type-C sockets (Alternate Mode) enable flexible control of monitors and USB devices, making it ideal for versatile graphics applications in industry and rail transportation. It also offers three network sockets following the fast 2.5 Gbase-T standard for setting up complex and redundant network structures.

Robust Basics with Versatile Extensions

With the energy-efficient Intel Atom CPU from the Elkhart Lake Industrial platform, it achieves clock rates of up to 1.9 GHz and guarantees constant 100% utilization over ten years. Intel also guarantees the operation of this processor line not only at high temperatures but also at temperatures as low as -40°. Testing and screening can thus be simplified.

The three modern USB Type-C sockets on the front enable alternating operation; they can, therefore, control either USB devices or monitors. A fourth monitor can also be controlled via the S40 or S48 side cards – perfect for various visualization applications.

Also, using flexible mezzanine modules, the SC8 can be expanded as required with fast M.2

memory modules (NVMe, up to PCIe Gen4) or wireless functions using PCI Express® Mini Cards. The S42 or S48 sidecards, for example, are suitable here. The CPCI serial SBC is equipped with 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM as standard.
