A compact, low-power Nano-ITX board based on the quad-core SoC Intel Atom processor E3845 or dual-core E3827 with one DDR3L 1066/1333 up to 8GB memory has been introduced by Axiomtek. The Intel Bay Trail industrial motherboard NANO840 is capable of operating under wide temperatures from -40 to +80°C in a fanless operation which is designed for working in harsh environments.

The device comes with multiple display outputs: HDMI, LVDS and VGA, with visual experiences enhanced for dual-view supported. Moreover, this small form factor embedded board requires +12VDC power input. The board is suitable for applications requiring a power-optimised and rich-I/O platform, such as high-end medical imaging, digital signage, kiosks/POI, thin clients, and gaming machines.

The NANO840 comes with advanced connectivity including five USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, one RS-232/422/485, one RS-232, dual Gigabit LAN ports, one SATA-300 port, two PCIe Mini Card slots, and HD audio. The built-in Watchdog Timer keeps the system running smoothly. The platform runs with Windows 7 and 8 OSs.

“Measuring only 120x120mm, the Intel Atom SoC-based NANO840 is 50% smaller than the mini-ITX form factor but still offers plenty I/O interfaces. System developers can easily develop scalable and ultra-compact applications,” said Michelle Mi, Product Manager of the Product Marketing Division, Axiomtek. “The fully integrated fanless nano-ITX motherboard also provides two PCIe Mini Card expansion interfaces for network connection. One of the PCIe Mini Card slots also supports mSATA interface to provide an additional storage option. Customers can also enjoy the advantage of good thermal design to running it in wide temperatures and fanless operation. It not only provides protection against dust or noise but also provides flexibility to design rugged systems.”
