September 8, 2008 - AXIOMTEK introduces the PICO820, an ultra low power Pico-ITX SBC, which supports super compact Intel Atom processor Z500 series based on the new 45nm Hi-k Intel process technology. The PICO820 is an incredibly small 10 cm x 7.2 cm mainboard based on Pico-ITX form factor, the world's smallest x86 embedded board. In the new Pico-ITX form factor, the PICO820 provides system developers and OEMs with an ultra compact yet highly integrated platform that delivers excellent computing performance at remarkably low power consumption.
For car PCs and in-flight entertainment systems or industrial automation systems and even ultra portable devices, the PICO820 satisfies customer’s demands in compact-size, fanless operation, low power consumption and versatile I/O.The PICO820 supports ultra low power Intel Atom Z510 1.1GHz and Z530 1.6GHz processors at 533MHz FSB with the Intel System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W, a low power chipset in one small 22 x 22 mm package. The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500 offers advanced graphics and 3D performance.
Moreover, the Intel Atom processor Z500 series supports SSE3 that improves performance on multimedia and gaming applications, as well as, Hyper-Threading technology, Intel Virtualization Technology and Low TDP.In a small rugged form factor, the PICO820 provide a full set of I/O features including Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, two UARTs, SATA, CompactFlash, SDIO port, HD audio, and video. The integrated graphic engine supports CRT and 24-bit LCD display modes. Additionally, this Intel Atom Pico-ITX SBC features DDR2 memory up to 1GB, and is required only +5V power input.
This RoHS compliant product will be available in Q4 2008.
Main Features:
- Intel Atom Z510 1.1GHz and Z530 1.6GHz processors
- Intel System Controller Hub US15W
- One DDR2 PC2-2300/4200 SODIMM slot up to 1GB
- CRT/LVDS LCD supported
- Two UARTs and four USB 2.0 ports
- One SATA interface and one Gigabit Ethernet
- One secure digital IO (SDIO) port
- +5V only single voltage DC-in supported“Based on the new low power Intel Atom Z510 and Z530 processors and using the Intel System Controller Hub US15W and Pico-ITX form factor, AXIOMTEK’s PICO820 meets the needs of small form factor and thermally constrained embedded applications.
The Intel Atom Pico-ITX SBC is an ideal for many embedded market segments such as portable POS, Car PC, medical healthcare, entry-level gaming, and in-flight infotainment,” said Joseph Chou, Product Manager of Embedded Computing Business Unit.
