1.1 IQ7-US15W
Figure 1-1: IQ7-US15W IQ7 Design Guide
The IQ7-US15W is a QSeven CPU Module with a 1.1 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z510 or
1.6 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z530 CPU.
The IQ7-US15W is designed for applications that require fanless operation. The low
power CPUs don't require active cooling and stay within specified heat range using the
included cooling solution.
As part of the QSeven standard, an API software interface is defined for the embedded
features such as a watchdog timer, I²C bus, LCD backlight control, BIOS user storage
area and temperature control.
Graphics capabilities include SDVO and 18/24-bit LVDS to the baseboard.
Other interfaces include IDE, USB and HD Audio.
1.2 Benefits
Some of the IQ7-US15W motherboard benefits include,
Low power consumption
Wide range of I/O interfaces
