Advantech Releases Intel Atom-Powered Embedded IPC

Advantech has launched the ARK-1503 system, a compact, fanless, embedded IPC suitable for kiosks, factory and machine automation control applications. The ARK-1503 is powered by an Intel Atom D525/D425 processor with DDR3 support and an integrated display interface. According to the company, it enables excellent power savings while providing a rich I/O capability. One of two touch-monitor connecting options can be selected depending on the particular application: an I-Panel link or a golden finger.

New design technology simplifies application integrations with trouble-free solutions. The ARK-1503 is powered by the latest Intel Atom D425 single-core and D525 dual-core processors with DD3 memory up to 2Gbyte for D425 and 4Gbyte for D525. With integrated graphics and memory controllers, these processors deliver graphics core rendering speeds from 200MHz to 400MHz while maintaining excellent power efficiency.

In addition to higher speeds and less power consumption, the ARK-1503 also features a low-profile design (230.6 x 133.0 x 44.4mm) but still provides rich I/O capabilities and high bandwidth. It supports one RS-232 serial port, one RS-232/422/485 serial port with auto-flow control, four high-speed USB 2.0 ports, two Giga-LANs, DIO, line-out and LVDS. The built-in Mini PCIe communication module expansion slot supports an external CF socket and 2.5in SATA HDD. The ARK-1503 also supports a wide operating temperature from -20C to +60C. Advantech provides extendable and pluggable designs that integrate embedded IPCs and displays.

The ARK-1503 with I-Panel link interface integrates LVDS, USB, Tx/Rx signals, audio and DC power through a DB36 SCSI connector, so a single cable supports a touch panel with power, video, audio and touch information. The alternative 164-pin golden-finger option carries everything, including power, video (LVDS HDMI), audio, USB, COM and touch-panel signalling; it supports an ITM touch monitor by direct golden-finger docking, with no cable, yet the system and the monitor can be upgraded independently for more flexibility, better stability and straightforward installation.
