Advantech announces its newest COM CPU module powered by the latest Intel Atom processor. The SOM-7562 COM-Ultra CPU module is only 84 x 55 mm in dimension and is powered by the Intel Atom N450 processor with integrated onboard graphic and memory controller on a single chip. Advantech COM-Ultra series are compliant with the COM-Express type 1 standard pin definition, and with a slight modification are able to share with current COM-Express or COM-Micro carrier boards. They are the most suitable solution for personal handheld or portable applications.
The Thermal Design Power rating of the new Atom architecture is less than 5.5 Watts yet it offers better performance and lower power consumption than before. The new integrated “all-in-one” chip design is perfect for compact mobile device applications. SOM-7562 also works smarter to assure better application integration with the help of Advantech’s software SUSI API suite which features a watchdog timer, hardware monitor, and GPIO API’s and utilities to help customers integrate and configure specific features into their applications.
