ADLINK Technology, Inc. today introduced a new SMARC form factor computer-on-module, the LEC-BTS, running a single, dual, or quad core Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 series system-on-chip at from 1.46 to 1.91 GHz with up to 4GB DDR3L memory at 1066/1333 MHz. The ADLINK LEC-BTSmodule delivers top-of-the-line performance with efficient power consumption that targets a new generation of mobile applications requiring industrial-grade stability and reliability.
The SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) form factor is a versatile ultra-small footprint computer-on-module defined predominantly by ADLINK and Kontron and approved by the SGET (Standardization Group for Embedded Technology) consortium. SMARC is an open and global standard for new generation embedded applications featuring low power, low cost and high performance, taking advantages from both legacy x86 and ARM-based designs. ADLINK has previously released SMARC modules with ARM-based cores.
The ADLINK LEC-BTS is a short size 82 mm x 50 mm SMARC module. The low power envelope of the SMARC form factor (5 W to 10 W depending on number of cores and usage) allows for passive cooling and enables smaller, quieter and cleaner systems. Although small in size, the LEC-BTS provides a wide variety of I/O interfaces to enable development of new and innovative applications, including both PC-type interfaces such as 3x PCIe x1 , SATA 3Gb/s, GbE, HD audio and HDMI; and modern ARM-type interfaces such as SPI, I2C, I2S. MIPI CSI camera, single channel LVDS (24-bit), 3x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, 12x GPIO, 1x SDIO, and 2x UART serial ports.
The LEC-BTS is designed for portable, or small stationary systems with application scenarios ranging from industrial automation, medical testing and measurement, to transportation and digital signage, and is especially suited for systems requiring high performance graphics in mobile applications. LEC-BTS modules can operate in an extremely wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Standard temperature SKUs supporting 0°C to 60°C operation are also available.
The ADLINK LEC-BTS is a certified building block for Intel® Gateway Solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) with Wind River and McAfee software integration. Paired with ADLINK’s device-to-cloud platform SEMA Cloud (Smart Embedded Management Agent) that enables remote monitoring control and management, the LEC-BTS is ideal for developing IoT devices with a secure connection to the cloud.
