Kontron KTLX800/pITX Pico-ITX single board computer

Kontron has released the 2.5″ Pico-ITX SBC KTLX800/pITX, with the AMD Geode LX800 processor, that combines maximum cost and power efficiency with interfaces tailored to the needs of industrial automation and test and measurement.

With an average power consumption of 5 - 7 W, the device is suitable for extra-small and cost-sensitive industrial applications.

The computer has a wide choice of interfaces, including VGA, plus LVDS with JILI30, two serial interfaces, fast ethernet, SATA, four USB 2.0 and 16 GPIO.

The computer is supplied with up to 1 GB of DDR RAM system memory as supported by the AMD Geode LX800 500 MHz processor which uses an average of 0.9 W.

Its interfaces range from one 10/100 Mb ethernet and four USB 2.0 through two serial RS232 serial connectors (interfaces that continue to be key for industrial applications) to 16 configurable GPIOs for implementing application-specific I/Os.

Connectivity for monitors and panels of every kind is enabled in a VGA (DSUB-15, up to 1600 x 1200 UXGA) and a JILI30 (single-channel LVDS, up to 1280 x 1024, 85 Hz) plus backlight support.

Data storage media can be connected via the SATA II port and, for extra space savings, an onboard socket for MicroSD cards

is also available.

The device supports Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Linux.
