1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: PCISA-BT
The PCISA-BT half-size PCISA CPU card is a 22nm Intel® Atom® or Celeron® SoC
platform with a DDR3L SO-DIMM socket and dual PCI Express (PCIe) Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE). The PCISA-BT equips with one USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s), six USB 2.0, two SATA
3Gb/s, two RS-232, one RS-422/485, one PCIe Mini slot, one mSATA slot and one
microSD slot, providing extreme expansion possibility. Moreover, multiple display support
(VGA, iDP and optional LVDS) adds versatility to the system, enabling system integrators
and designers increased flexibility in selecting display panel options.
1.2 Model Variations
The model variations for the PCISA-BT series are listed in Table 1-1.
