Introduction

PCA-6782 is an Intel
face half-size single board computer. With high performance Atom D525 dual-core
computing power, it is ideal for intense data or graphic processing applications; with
fanless Atom™ N455 CPU, it has ultra high reliability to resist heat, dust, vibration
and shock in any application environment.
PCA-6782 is designed with an Intel
hub. The Atom™ D525 dual core CPU brings new generation computing capability
into the half-size SBC application field. Compact size, low power consumption (Total
power consumption ≤ 17.62 W) and dual-core parallel computing power and maxi-
mum 2 GB of DDR2 667 MHz memory capacity makes the PCA-6782D a powerful
small form-factor computer platform for modern industrial applications that require
high computing power. The fanless Atom™ N455 CPU (Total power consumption ≤
12.56 W) is ideal for data-acquisition, environment monitoring system and factory
automation that requires no air flow environments.
PCA-6782 has an integrated graphic core of Intel Embedded Gen3.5+ graphic tech-
nology with 224 MB shared memory. This feature makes PCA-6782 is capable of
handling complex and intense 2D/3D graphic processing without an add-on graphic
card; its VGA and LVDS dual video outputs also makes it suitable for applications
requiring dual display or digital panel display capabilities.
PCA-6782 is rich in I/O interfaces: it has three SATA ports (300 MB/sec) for main-
stream SSD (solid state disk), HDD, and ODD connections, one legacy IDE port for
the ODD connection. It also has a CF socket to support an economical, easy-to-
maintain SSD device. Additionally, the two serial ports (COM ports) can be used as
reliable legacy device control interfaces. Users can also purchase
upgrade module (P/N: PCA-COM485-00A1E) to have four extra RS485 ports
with auto flow control capability.
