Equipped with the latest 12th, 13th, and 14th generation Intel Core processors as well as a comprehensive range of modern interfaces, Kontron is launching the K3836-Q/R mITX motherboard as the successor to the D3633-S.

The new motherboard in the compact Mini-ITX form factor is developed and manufactured in Germany. Two different chipset versions are offered: The K3836-R is based on the high-performance Intel R680E chipset with ECC support and real-time capability for mission-critical applications and the K3836-Q on the equally powerful Intel Q670E chipset.

The K3836-Q/R mITX has a minimum lifespan of seven years. Target applications include industrial automation, robotics, medical diagnostics, digital signage, infotainment, and POS/POI systems.

The K3836-Q/R mITX is designed and approved for 24/7 continuous operation. It offers customisable CPU performance through the Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processor series for entry-level and high-quality IPCs. In addition, the K3836-Q/R mITX is suitable for improved industrial climate conditions up to 60°C. Two Intel LAN (1GbE and 2.5GbE) with teaming, TSN, and iAMT support ensure extremely stable and reliable connectivity.

Further connection options are

  • a PCIe x16 Gen5 expansion slot
  • 13 USB ports (including USB Type-C)
  • up to four Display Port interfaces for graphics at resolutions up to 8K
  • eDP and LVDS support
  • four COM (RS242) and SATA ports
  • SATA/NVME RAID support
  • Support for DDR5-4800/5600 SODIMMs with up to 96GB and a x16 slot with bifurcation support (2x PCIe x8 Gen5) enable flexible use.

The mITX motherboard K3836-Q/R will be available in series by end of 2024.

Additional benefits

  • mITX standard industrial motherboard format (~ 6.7” x 6.7”)
  • Combined power supply option via a single 12V power supply and ATX 24-pin socket
  • Supports Intel iAMT features and Intel Time Coordinated Computing
  • Easy handling and customisation within the production environment with intelligent tool suite

Examples of applications

  • Industrial PCs (e.g., machine control systems, robotics)
  • Medical/laboratory equipment (e.g., eye diagnostic systems, X-ray control)
  • Self-service terminals (e.g., ticketing, ordering)
  • Imaging and entertainment (e.g., light mixing control, photo booths)
