The EMB-LN8T supports Intel®Atom™ N455/ D525 processor
which when paired with the Intel®ICH8M chipset offers a high
performance computing platform with low power consumption.
This new product supports two DDR3 SODIMM at speeds of
800, up to 4GB (D525 only). One CompactFlash™ and three
SATA 3.0 Gb/s interfaces provide ample storages. With dual
Gigabit Ethernet, six COM ports, eight USB2.0, and one parallel
port, the EMB-LN8T meets the requirements of today’s
demanding applications.
Display requirements are met with an abundance of interfaces
such as CRT, 18-bit single channel LVDS or 24-bit single
channel LVDS. Simultaneous / Dual View are available in
LCD/CRT configurations. Display memory is shared from the
system memory up to 324MB/ DVMT4.0.
With all of its integrated features, the EMB-LN8T strikes a
balance of performance and price. This versatile product targets
Industrial Automation, Entertainment, Networking, KIOSK/POS,
Transportation, Banking, Healthcare and Digital Signage
applications that require high performance and high reliability.
