Computer platforms used in image processing, kiosk machines, HMI panel PCs or factory automation systems, for example, often have to be very powerful. If these CPU boards also have simple thermal management, the developer and designer of such embedded systems will be pleased.

The Mini-ITX Board LV-67Z is the suitable platform for this. The Intel^® Core^™ i7 Whiskey Lake-U processor is not only powerful, but also very energy efficient. The low power dissipation (TPD) of only 15W allows the installation in compact and fanless housings without a complex cooling concept.

The LV-67Z board has two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets for up to 32 GB DDR4 2400 memory and two Intel_® Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. Individual expansions can easily be realized via a PCIe and a mPCIe slot with mSATA support as well as an M.2 e-key slot for WLAN or Bluetooth modules. In addition, six COM ports, four USB 3.1 (Gen2) ports and two SATA III ports are available.

Three independent displays are connected via one HDMI and one LVDS port and one DisplayPort. The necessary graphics performance is provided by integrated Intel^® Ultra HD Graphics, a technology that delivers high-quality media and graphics capabilities to devices that display video, 2D/3D graphics and interactive content.

Developers and designers will also be pleased with the wide voltage input of 9-36VDC and the wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.
