1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: PICOe-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251
The PICOe-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 half-size PCIe CPU card is an embedded 45 nm
Intel® Atom™ processor D525, D425 or N455 platform. The
PICOe-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 has 1 GB 800 MHz DDR3 memory onboard and
supports one 204-pin 667/800 MHz 2.0 GB (max.) DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM. The board
includes one LVDS connector (supports an 18-bit single-channel LVDS screen), one VGA
connector, and supports a dual-display configuration.
The PICOe-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 also comes with two Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
connectors, three SATA connectors, seven USB 2.0 connectors, and one CompactFlash®
Type II slot. Serial device connectivity is provided by three internal RS-232 and one
internal RS-232/422/485 connectors.
