Kontron AG (Germany) - Kontron delivers significant performance increases, power efficiencies and comprehensive I/O in new 3U CompactPCI® board. Based on latest 22nm Intel® Atom™ processor, Kontron’s rugged CPU board features built-in HD graphics, extended temp and very low TDP.

Kontron, a leading global provider of Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), today announced its latest 3U CompactPCI® board. Delivering significant performance increases and power efficiencies, the Kontron CP3010-SA integrates the powerful 22nm Intel® Atom™ processor that offers quad-core 1.91 GHz performance, a very low TDP (thermal design power) value and extended temperature operation. This rugged CPU board is EN50155 compliant and designed with soldered processor and memory to handle the toughest shock and vibration environmental conditions making it ideal for a wide range of rail transportation, industrial and mobile applications. Supporting maximum design flexibility, the Kontron CP-3010 offers a comprehensive I/O feature set and can be adapted to a diverse array of application requirements. The CP-3010 also has a built-in graphics core via Intel® HD Graphics Technology that gives designers outstanding graphics performance compared to the previous Atom™ architecture.

To protect OEM development investments and eliminate unplanned design changes, the Kontron CP3010 ensures long-term availability due to Intel®‘s embedded product line. It also minimizes deployment risks by providing a broad range of software support that also helps to ease the process of product integration providing competitive advantages that accelerate time-to-market.

The Kontron CP3010 in detail:
The CP3010-SA is Kontron's latest low-power 3U CompactPCI® CPU board. It is based on the Intel® Atom™ processors E3827 and E3845 that provide a maximum of quad-core 1.91 GHz processing performance. For memory-demanding applications, the CP3010 offers up to 8GB of soldered DDR3L memory running at 1333MHz, and onboard data storage is satisfied by a CFAST option or soldered SATA Flash solid-state drive and a HDD/SSD option on the CP3010’s 8HP extension module. On the system side, the CP3010-SA supports a PCI 32-bit, 33MHz (66MHz on request) CompactPCI® interface enabling the peripheral mode feature. The CP3010-SA comes with a comprehensive I/O feature set supporting interfaces such as DisplayPort, USB 3.0/2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, CAN, RS-232 serial ports in common with the audio interfaces Line-In and Line-Out. It is available as 4HP or 8HP version, which can be optionally combined with rear I/O support.
