Description

Features and Construction

The Tetra is a compact embedded computer system featuring very low power consumption.
Designed around an NXP i.MX6 quad-core processor, the entire board typically uses about 4W of
power. Multiple on-board I/O interfaces and soldered-on memory offers system designers a
flexible, reliable, low-power platform. In addition, the Tetra also contains a full complement of on-
board I/O interfaces, including USB 2.0, a mini PCIe expansion or mSATA socket, Gigabit
Ethernet, multiple serial interfaces, and 8-bits of digital I/O.
Tetra is designed to operate with no moving parts and is tested to withstand extreme
temperatures, high-impact, and vibration. A built-in power supply permits 8 to 17 volt input, such
as 12 volt automotive systems. This single board computer is an ideal choice for applications that
require moderate performance, low-power, highest quality, and long product life.
