1.1 Introduction
The IB836 is a 3.5-inch single board computer powered by robust Intel®
Atom® / Pentium or Celeron processors to meet the demands of critical
real-time computing in applications spanning the retail, transport, industrial
automation, and medical sectors. The SBC has two DDR4 memory slots with
a 32GB capacity and in-band error-correcting code (IBECC) functionality that
corrects single-bit memory errors in standard, non-ECC memory. Three
independent displays can be driven with up to 4Kp60 resolutions via two
DisplayPort (DP & Type C) and one eDP or LVDS output. Rich I/O
connectivity and expansion capabilities allow connection to numerous
peripherals and include 2x USB 2.0, 4x USB 3.1, 2x SATA III, 1x M.2 and 1x
mPCIe interface, as well as three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Measuring 102mm
by 147mm, the board operates on a 9V~36V wide range power input.
