Introduction

1.1

Pico-ITX Concept

The Pico-ITX form factor provides system designers and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a
footprint of 100mm x 72mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems. Due to its small size,
the Pico-ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge
variety of product development options - from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems.
This helps to reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.
Additionally, the boards can be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Pico-ITX boards are equipped with various
interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.
