F26L: 3U CompactPCI PlusIO with Apollo Lake Intel Atom Processor Blade

MEN MIKRO introduces F26L low-power CPU board equipped with Intel Atom Apollo Lake-I dual-core or quad-core System-on-a-Chip (SoC). Due to the low power architecture on the Intel Atom processor, the CPU card has a total power consumption of max. 6.5 Watts to 12 Watts, while having a clock frequency of up to 1.6 GHz. The F26L supports the CompactPCI PlusIO (PICMG 2.30) specification, meaning it can be used in a hybrid system for control of both CompactPCI and CompactPCI Serial peripheral boards. The F26L board has been equipped with a specially outlined heat sink for applications with extreme temperatures, for extended operation from -40°C to +85°C, in compliance with EN 50155, class TX. The standard I/O available at the front panel of the F26L includes VGA, two Gigabit Ethernet and two USB 3.0 ports. The F26L can be extended by different side cards. Additional functions include a variety of different UARTs or another four USBs, SATA for hard disk connection and HD audio. The F26L operates in Windows 10 and Linux environments as well as under real-time operating systems that support Intel’s multi-core architecture ideal solution for kind of application common in the rail market, in industrial automation and in the power and energy sector.
