Axiomtek CAPA55R embedded SBC

Axiomtek has announced the CAPA55R, a high-performance 3.5″ embedded SBC powered by the 11th Gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3 and Celeron processors (code name: Tiger Lake-UP3) with 28 W cTDP and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. The industrial-grade embedded board features triple-display capability through HDMI 1.4, LVDS and DisplayPort++ interfaces, making it suitable for graphics-intensive applications.

The industrial motherboard is designed for operational stability with a wide operating temperature range from -20 to +60°C. It is optimised for various industrial IoT-related applications in the embedded market, such as industrial control, machine vision, self-service terminal, digital signage and medical imaging.

The feature-rich device has two 260-pin SO-DIMM sockets for up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200. It is equipped with one M.2 Key E slot (PCIe x1, USB 2.0 in 22 x 30) for wireless modules, one M.2 Key B (PCIe x1, USB 3.2 gen2, USB 2.0 in 30 x 42 or 30 x 50) slot for cellular network cards such as 4G/LTE/5G modules, and one pin-header SIM connector to expand the SIM socket with the AX93A19 module. It also has one M.2 Key M (PCIe x4, 22 x 80) for NvME storage cards.

The product also provides three USB 3.2 Gen2, four USB 2.0, one GbE LAN, one 2.5 GbE LAN, two RS-232/422/485, one SATA-600, 8-channel DIO, and one HD audio via the daughter I/O board AX93A22. In addition, the embedded SBC provides a 12–24 VDC input. It supports Windows 10 and Linux operation systems.

The compact embedded board is suitable for embedded solutions requiring multitasking capabilities and full-graphics features. Its reversed onboard CPU is attached on the rear side of the board to aid with heat dissipation and offers flexibility for easy system integration, especially in space-constrained enclosures.
