1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 Front View
Figure 1-2: WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 Solder View
The WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 is a 3.5" SBC with a Intel® Atom™D525, D425 or
N455 CPU.

WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 SBC
Page 3
The WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 is designed for fanless operation. The low power
CPUs do not require active cooling to stay within the specified heat range using the
included heatsink.
Storage on the board is handled by a SATA 3Gb/s port for connecting a hard drive, optical
drive or SSD. The CompactFlash® slot allows a Type II CompactFlash® card to be
installed.
The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor
and a dual channel LVDS connector that supports 24-bit by Novatek 68667UFG and an
18-bit single-channel display.
Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini card slot, RS-232, RS-232/422/485,
Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, and digital I/O.
1.2 Benefits
Some of the WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 motherboard benefits include:
Low power consumption
Wide range of I/O interfaces
Dual display support
1.3 Features
Some of the WAFER-PV-D5253/D4253/N4553 motherboard features are listed below:
3.5" form factor
Fanless design
RoHS compliant
Eight USB 2.0 ports
Four serial ports
PCIe Mini card slot
CompactFlash® Type II slot
Gigabit Ethernet
