2.1 Introduction

SBC-C41-pITX is a Single Board Computer in pico-ITX form factor (just 100 x 72mm) based on the Intel

Pentium

N Series family of System-on-Chips (SOCs) formerly coded as Apollo Lake, a series of Dual / Quad Core SOCs with 64-bit instruction set.

These SOCs embed all the features usually obtained by combination of CPU + platform Controller hubs, all in one single IC, which allows, therefore, the system

minimisation and performance optimisation, which is essential for boards with sizes so reduced as for picoITX SBCs, which offers all functionalities of standard PC

boards in just 100x72mm.

This single chip solution includes the memory controller, which gives support for up 32-bit Single-/Dual-/Quad-Channel LPDDR4 2400 MT/s Memory.

All SOCs embed an Integrated Intel

Microsoft

DirectX12, OpenGL 4.3, OpenCL 1.2, OpenGLES 3.0 and HW acceleration for video encoding and decoding of HEVC (H.265), H.264, JPEG/MJPEG.

It is also possible the HW video decoding only of VP9, MPEG2, VC-1 and WMV9. This embedded GPU can drive three independent displays, by using HDMI, LVDS

and DP++ interfaces. Any combinations of these video interfaces are supported.

Mass Storage capabilities of the board include two external S-ATA Gen3 channels (one available on a standard SATA 7p Male connector, the other on an M.2

Socket 2 Key B Slot, a standard 4-bit SD interface and one optional eMMC Drive soldered on board.

Further features usable on SBC-C41-pITX board are WWAN M.2 Socket 2 Key B Slot connected to a miniSIM slot for modems, four USB ports (two USB 3.0 and

two USB 2.0 only), HD Audio, up to 2x Gigabit Ethernet connections, one M.2 Socket 1 Key E Slot for WiFi+BT M.2 modules.

The board is available both in commercial and in industrial temperature range.
