Product Overview
The fanless embedded PC CS-A53-BOX (PN: CS-IMX8MP-BOX) is a Cortex -A53 series high-
quality industrial PC. Thanks to the fanless design, it is stable and reliable in client terminal,
multimedia and other industry applications.
Key Applications
Industrial Automation
Process Control
Smart Grid Management
CNC Manufacturing
Environmental Monitoring
Predictive Maintenance
The oered CPU consumes very little power, around 5.25W (max). From the ground-up, the
CPU is built for low power consumption. As such, it is best suited for mobile and power-
constrained industrial or eld applications. A specially designed aluminum alloy housing
with ns for increased heat dissipation serves as a passive cooler, eliminating the need for
built-in fans. The fanless design reduces noise, as well as the maintenance costs and eorts,
leading to increased reliability at the same time.
The CS-A53-BOX Industrial PC is based around the powerful i.MX8MP System on Chip (SoC),
powered by the NXP i.MX8MP low-power processor which integrates a quad-core Cortex -
A53 1.6GHz processor.
The i.MX8MP supports multi-format video decoders and has a high-performance LPDDR4
4GB RAM capable of sustaining demanding memory bandwidths. It also provides a
complete set of peripheral interfaces.
