Axiomtek's Single Board Computers Utilizing the Latest Intel® 22nm Multicore SoC (Codename: Bay Trail)
The Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 product family (codename: Bay Trail-I) and Intel® Celeron® processor-branded SoCs (codename: Bay Trail-M/D) are the first System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for intelligent systems, delivering outstanding computing, graphical, and media performance. These SoCs are based on the Silvermont microarchitecture, utilizing Intel’s industry-leading 22nm process technology with 3D Tri-Gate transistors, which deliver significant improvements in computational performance and energy efficiency. Highlights of the product family include high I/O connectivity, integrated memory controller, virtualization, and built-in security capabilities within a thermal design power (TDP) range of 5W to 10W. They provide many of the same features and performance-per-watt benefits, making them ideal for PC-like designs, such as thin clients, retail transactional clients, and digital signs.
Moreover, besides the above features, the Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 product family offers error correcting code (ECC) and operates in an industrial operating temperature range. Advanced features include:Media: Scalable full HD video playback includes support for 10 or more simultaneous video streams.
- Media: Scalable full HD video playback includes support for 10 or more simultaneous video streams.
- Graphics: 7th Generation Intel® Graphics Architecture enables enhanced visual processing.
- Power and Form Factor: SoC with smaller package size and industrial temperature range is ideal for thin, light, and environmentally adaptive entry retail devices.
- Computing: Quad-Core processing enables improved out-of-order computing performance for more responsive user experience.
- Security: Built-in hardware-assisted security enhancements include Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES NI) and Secure Boot. Intel® AES NI provides faster endpoint data encryption to protect transactional and personal data. Secure Boot enhances security to prevent unauthorized software from running during the boot sequence.
- Intel® Celeron® processor and Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 product families provide full HD simultaneous video decoding capability; delivering interactive 2D and 3D graphics with much improved playback and enabling immersive visual experiences.
- Graphics performance is based on Intel® HD graphics 4000 with support for 3D content through DirectX 11, Open GL 4.0, and OpenGL 1.2.
- The SoC provides support for HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.1 with maximum resolution of 2560x1600@60Hz and hardware-accelerated video decode for H.264, MVC, VPG8 JPEG/mJPEG, VC1/WMV9, and MPEG2 standards.
- Dedicated execution units, fixed-function and hardware decode engines provide enhanced graphics performance.
Axiomtek’s Products with Intel® Bay Trail:
COM Express™ is an open industry standard for Computer-on-Modules. It requires a carrier board to bring out I/Os and to power up. We would like to introduce you to some of our newest embedded motherboard products, which utilize the Mini, Basic and Compact form factors.
COM Express™ Mini
The COM Express™ Mini, measuring only 84 x 55 mm, follows Type 10 pin-out. It offers all the standard x86 interfaces, including DDI (DP, HDMI/DVI), USB including USB 3.0, PCIe, Serial ATA, and Gigabit Ethernet as well as LVDS and serial interface (LPC). Moreover, it features a wide range power supply from 4.75 – 20V with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). It also has DDR3L chips onboard up to 4GB.
COM Express™ Basic
The COM Express™ Basic follows Type 2 pin-out. It provides a smooth transition path from legacy parallel interfaces to LVDS/VGA interfaces. These include both the PCI bus parallel ATA and PCI Express and Serial ATA.
COM Express™ Compact
The COM Express™ Compact follows Type 6 pin-out. With its double connector and 440 pins, it offers serial interface (LPC), six lanes of PCIe, two Serial ATA, one Gigabit Ethernet, eight USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, and one VGA, LVDS and DDI which supports HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort.
The Pico-ITX embedded motherboards, measuring 100 x 72 mm, implement powerful performance in a compact form factor to inspire innovative designs and to make x86 platforms accessible for a new generation of smaller computing and connecting devices.
Axiomtek 3.5” embedded boards (CAPA) are compact size and come with rich I/O options for high flexibility and easy expansion capabilities. They can work in multiple applications that demand reliable operation, industrial grade design, and high quality.
Our Intel® Bay Trail board products offer important and useful features that are highly desirable by most systems integrators. We understand that high quality, advanced board products are among the key factors to a project success. Nevertheless, even the most skilled engineering teams or systems integrators may require support to accomplish the goals set with efficiency, cost-wise and effort-wise. Axiomtek's Design-in Services are created to assist our customers as an extended part of their teams. Our pledge is to help make their lives easier, shorten their product's time-to-market and help them achieve higher return on investment.
