Advantech Releases PCA-6782 SBC with New Intel Atom N455/D525

By DE Editors

Advantech has introduced a new Intel Atom N455/D525 ISA half-size Single Board Computer (SBC). PCA-6782 features single/dual-core processors with an integrated graphic and memory controller (GMCH) all on the same chip.

The Atom D525 dual-core CPU brings new generation computing capability into the half-size SBC application field. It features a compact size, low power consumption, dual-core parallel computing power and a maximum of 2GB of DDR2 667 MHz memory.

PCA-6782 has an integrated graphic core based on Intel’s Embedded Gen 3.5+ graphic technology with 224MB shared memory. This feature makes PCA-6782 capable of handling 2D/3D graphic processing tasks without an additional graphic card. VGA and LVDS dual video outputs also make it suitable for applications requiring dual display or digital panel display capabilities.

PCA-6782 provides an array of I/O interfaces: it has three SATA ports (300 MB/sec) for mainstream SSD (Solid State Disks), HDD and ODD connections. It also has legacy I/O connections: one IDE, one PS/2, one FDD and one parallel port. The board also has a CF socket, a PC/104 expansion, one Gigabit Ethernet LAN, and two COM ports. An optional Advantech COM port upgrade module (P/N: PCA-COM485-00A1E) is also available to give an extra four RS485 ports with auto-flow control capability.
