Datasheet

The MIO-5272 SBC (Single Board Computer) from Advantech has been added to the Rutronik portfolio. It comes in a 3.5in MI/O Extension (146x102) form factor and is based on Intel 6^th generation Core i7/i5/i3/Celeron processors with triple independent display capability. The optimised thermal solution for the MIO-5272 makes fanless design possible on this compact, high performance platform under wide temperature environment (-40°C up to +85°C).

The MIO-5272 offers longer MTBF, dust-free, noiseless, zero fan maintenance and 24/7 operation, making it a sound choice for medical, automation, military or transportation applications.

Its compact 24mm height makes it perfectly suitable for IoT and embedded systems which require both higher reliability and performance.

The integrated Advantech iManager and WISE-PaaS/RMM monitor and control system operate remotely and efficiently, increasing system reliability and providing a smarter software framework for the embedded customer.

MIO-5272 adapts the latest microarchitecture with 64-bit, multi-core processors built on 14nm process technology. It delivers improvements in CPU processing, graphics, security capabilities and I/O flexibility.

With an upgrade to Intel AVX 2.0, MIO-5272 shows a big enhancement in integer/matrix-based calculation abilities, with Intel AES-NI allowing security algorithms to take advantage of hardware acceleration for data encryption and decryption.

In terms of overall performance, this new SBC offers over 30% improvement in Processor Arithmetic (GOPS) and more than double in graphics performance, compared to the previous version with Intel 4^th Gen. Core i Processors.

Advantech’s new SBC supports dual memory channels, expanding total memory size to 16GB and increasing memory bandwidth.

With 2 mini PCIe expansion slots, MIO-5272 can serve applications requiring 3G/4G Lite modules and ruggedised mSATA storage as well as the requirements for WIFI+ Bluetooth modules. It enhances security protection and meets the TPM 2.0 standard for security protection.

The SBC not only facilitates seamless integration and permits high efficiency network use, but also incorporates the MIOe unified connector that can extend additional interfaces, integrating DisplayPort, PCIe x1, LPC, SMBus, USB 2.0/USB 3.0, audio line-out, and power.

Equipped with the latest-generation graphics core (Intel HD Graphics 520) with DXVA DirectX 11.3, OpenGL 4.4, and OpenCL 2.1, MIO-5272 increases possibilities for application development on multimedia embedded products. It carries various embedded display interfaces including switching between HDMI (up to 4096x2160p) and VGA interface (up to 1920x1200p), 48-bit LVDS, and the next-generation embedded interface eDP. MIO-5272 uses the highest ESD protected driver IC in its serial port design.
