CEC20 Family - Rugged Compact Embedded Computer

with Intel® Atom™ x6000 CPUs

The CEC20 Family 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 solution is available in various versions, built in a compact aluminum housing for DIN-Rail or flange mount, in a rugged IP67 MIL case with D38999 connectors, as 19” rack solution, or as open frame with a cooling plate. 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.

CEC20 Family Highlights

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 CEC20 Family with our standard I/O board or semi-custom designed I/O board, according the customer needs with minimal development effort. The CEC2x supports standard SO-DIMM DDR4 and has the possibility to support IBECC (In Band ECC). Particular precautions have been taken that the entire system EMC is within the CE and FCC limits and that standards like EN50155, IEC 60945 or MIL-STD-810 can be met.

Key features are:

DDR4 RAM up to 32GB (support of IBECC)
1 & 2.5 Gbit Ethernet ports
Fanless operation
Expansion port for standard or customized IO board
Intel Atom Processor x6000 Family
Low power consumption 4.5 -12W (TPD CPU)
On board NVMe Flash (120GB)
Longterm availability (until 2035 with selected CPUs)

The CEC20 is is available for different Industries and is the perfect solution for industrial environments, railway applications, MIL/COTS applications, or whenever a rugged long-term available computer is needed.
