Aitech has released the most advanced Intel-based SBC available in its broad line of 3U VPX computing products. The rugged C874 uses a 5th generation Intel Core i7 processor to deliver speeds of up to 2.6 GHz, while withstanding extreme shock and vibration.
I/O options include USB 2.0, SATA II, 1000Base-T+100Base-BX/KX GbE and discrete I/O lines and serial ports. The board also offers HDMI/DVI out, RGBHV out and Audio In + Out ports and features a standard PMC/XMC slot that further expands the C874’s flexibility.
The HD 5600 graphics integrated into the processor combines with a Lynx Point QM87 I/O Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset to maximize data throughput. Windowed and standard watchdog timers, an IPMI, temperature sensors, a real time clock and an elapsed time recorder all contribute to the board’s reliable processing abilities. A primary BIOS Flash device monitors normal board operation, while a secondary one ensures maintenance tasks are performed properly.
Military-grade versions of the C874 can withstand altitudes of up to 70,000 ft. as well as shock and vibration per VITA 47 specifications. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, with -55°C available if required. The board comes in standard 3U VPX REDI air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions along with conformal coating. A conduction-cooled 2LM (two level maintenance) option is also available. Typical power consumption is 26.6 W.
The new SBC comes in a number of widely used OpenVPX (VITA 65) slot profiles to ensure interoperability with systems utilizing the industry specification. As part of an extensive line of VPX and VME embedded computing products, the C874 is pin-out compatible with the C873, Aitech’s earlier 3U VPX SBC based on Intel’s 4th generation Core i7 processor family.
