Industrial thin Mini-ITX motherboard hosts 7th-gen Intel Core cpu
Besides all the enhancements of the new processor generation, they also offer comprehensive IoT support including a SIM card socket for 3G/4G or Narrow Band connectivity and first versions of congatec’s Cloud-API, to be demonstrated at Embedded World (Hall 1, Booth 358).
The low profile design suits it for slim system designs such as industrial GUIs/HMIs, digital signage systems, point-of-sale terminals, and medical tablets. The boards have the option of ultra-fast Intel Optane memory via M.2 connector, enabling extremely fast system boots, application starts, video recording and processing, and software updates. The boards support Hyper-Threading which turns the dual-core design into a 4-in-1 system when utilizing the RTS real time hypervisor.
The Thin Mini-ITX motherboards can, the company adds, be universally employed in all embedded and IoT applications as the new low-power versions of the high-end 64-bit Intel Core processors offer a highly configurable thermal design power (TDP) of 15W, with the flexibility to scale dissipation from 7.5W cTDP to 25W cTDP for an exceptional balance of power and performance.

The industrial grade conga-IC175 Thin Mini-ITX motherboards ship with 4 different dual-core variants of 7th Gen Intel Core U SoC processors and have a configurable cTDP from 7.5W to 25W. Two SO-DIMM sockets support up to 32 GB DDR4-2133 memory. For non-volatile memory the boards offer 1x M.2 slot supporting the new Intel Optane memory for significantly lower latency and higher data rates mass storage devices. 2x SATA 3.0 interfaces allow additional HDDs or SSDs to be connected. The new boards connect the DirectX 12 capable Intel HD Graphics 620 with up to three independent displays in 4k resolution @ 60 Hz via 2x DP++ plus eDP or dual channel LVDS. The new hardware-accelerated 10-bit encoding/decoding of HEVC and VP9 videos offloads the CPU while HDR support makes videos more vibrant and lifelike. The industrial grade I/O set includes 2x Gigabit Ethernet and 1x SIM card socket for 3G/4G or Narrow Band M2M and IoT connectivity, 1x PCIe x4 and 1x mPCIe for generic expansions, 4x USB 3.0, 6x USB 2.0, 8x GPIO, and 2x serial COM ports – one of which can be configured as ccTalk. An integrated Board Management Controller, HDA audio including a stereo amplifier, a MIPI CSI-2 interface for direct connection of low-cost CMOS cameras as well as optional TPM 2.0 round off the feature set. The boards support the 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 10 IoT as well as all common Linux operating systems. A comprehensive choice of add-ons for easier design-in, including cooling solutions, I/O shields and cable sets, is also available.
