MXC-2300
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Featuring the latest Intel®Atom™ E3845 Quad-core processor,
the Matrix MXC-2300 series excels with minimal power consump-
tion, exceptional 3D graphics, and powerful media acceleration,
delivering leading improvements in performance and cost-effi-
ciency over any previous generation Atom-based system.
Including dual-port CAN connectivity supported by a Phillips
SJA1000 controller that can run independently or bridged at the
same time, bus arbitration and error detection with auto-correction
and re-transmission capability, and 16-CH isolated DI/O for gen-
eral industrial control, the MXC-2300 features an increased total
3PCI/PCIe expansion slot count, supporting installation of a vari-
ety of off-the-shelf PCI/PCIe cards for configurable applications,
and an internal PCI Express Mini Card socket and USIM slot sup-
port extension of additional functions, such as wireless connec-
tion.
In addition, the MXC-2300series offers one DisplayPort and one
DVI-I port for dual independent display with full HD over HDMI,
four USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 ports, and 2 GbE LAN ports with
teaming function.
With ADLINK’s proprietary SEMA (Smart Embedded Management
Agent) tool, the MXC-2300 maximizes manageability and security
for a world of applications, providing efficient remote monitoring of
system activity and health in real time, system control over a
robust secured channel, and fully manageable complete utilization
of system resources.
With ruggedized architecture, flexibility, and rich I/O capacity, the
MXC-2300’s minimal power consumption, abundant features, and
leading performance and cost-efficiency make it the embedded
system of choice for industrial automation, facility management,
and intelligent transportation systems and applications demanding
reliability in harsh environments.
