May 2022 - Swiss Made Elkhart Lake Rugged Embedded Computer Family (CEC)

MPL has developed another ultra compact Computer Family with a case dimensions of only 62x162x118mm, based on the 10nm Intel Atom x6000 processor. Despite the small footprint, the system still has MPL's typical product characteristics like; robustness, the highest reliability, long-term availability of at least 10 years, lowest power consumption in the industry, extended temperature (-40°C to 85°C) capability, passive cooling (fanless), and easy internal expansion.

The new CEC generation is a low power, highly integrated, flexible and rugged computer. The solution can be used for any computer application where a most reliable solution is needed. The Swiss designed solution integrates standard connectors for easy connection or lockable headers, depending on chassis choice. Therefore, the CEC20 Family can be used for any x86 application (Industry, Railways, Maritime, Defense) where a complete but still expandable and flexible solution is needed.
The CEC2x comes with onboard NVMe mass storage and supports various other types of mass storage. The onboard m.2 Key-B slot can be used for multiple expansion options. The board is equipped with a high density expansion connector with PCIe, USB, I2C, ... interfaces. This allows to expand the CEC2x with our standard I/O board or semi-custom designed I/O board according the customer needs and with minimal development effort. The CEC2x supports standard SO-DIMM DDR4 and has the possibility to support IBECC (In Band ECC).
Key features are:
- DDR4 RAM up to 32GB (support of IBECC)
- 1 & 2.5 Gbit Ethernet ports
- Fanless operation
- Longterm availability
   (until 2035 with selected CPUs)
- Expansion port for standard or custom IO board
- Intel Atom Processor x6000 Family
- Low power consumption 4.5 -12W (TPD CPU)
- On board NVMe Flash (120GB)
- USB3.1, isolated serial ports…
