1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: KINO-ATOM
The KINO-ATOM Mini-ITX motherboards are embedded 45 nm Intel® Atom™ processor
platforms. The embedded Intel® Atom™ N270 processor has a 1.60 GHz clock speed, a
533 MHz FSB and a 512 KB L2 cache. The KINO-ATOM also supports one 200-pin
533 MHz 2.0 GB (max.) DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM. The board comes with VGA, DVI,
HDTV and 18-bit dual-channel LVDS video outputs. The KINO-ATOM also comes with
two PCI Express (PCIe) Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectors, onboard AC’97 audio, three
RS-232 serial ports, one RS-232/422/485 serial port, a CompactFlash® slot, six USB 2.0
ports, IDE connector and PCI expansion card slot.
