Compact COM Express baseboard for validation and small volume projects
Kontron has introduced a compact and COM Express compliant ETXexpress miniBaseboard with a footprint of merely 170 mm x 145mm. For applications designed to run on COM Express compliant designs, the Kontron ETXexpress miniBaseboard serves as a universal platform for rapid software validation.
Low power SBC operates from -40 to +85 deg C
Ideal for applications which require a high end microcontroller without the price and power consumption to match, the ICOP-6115 gives engineers the opportunity to produce this type of application using x86 tools. The power saving benefits of the board can be seen its consumption of a mere 300mA from a single +5V DC supply.
