Tuesday, November 29, 2011 by Axiomtek

Based on the new low-power AMD G-Series APU T40R/T40E with the Fusion Controller Hub A50M, Axiomtek has developed the CAPA111 low power graphics-oriented 3.5in embedded board for digital signage, gaming, medical imaging, kiosks/POS, thin clients, and factory automation. The CAPA111 is powered by either a single core AMD G-Series APU T40R at 1.0GHz or the dual core T40E at 1.0GHz paired with the A50M FCH chipset and one DDR3 1066 memory slot supports up to 4GB. Integrated with Radeon™ HD 6250 graphics controller with DirectX 11 support, the super compact 3.5in embedded platform delivers unprecedented high definition visual experience and features 18/24-bit LVDS and VGA display dual view compatibility. Moreover, the embedded board only requires +12V DC power input.

"Designed with the low-power AMD G-Series APU T40R/T40E, Axiomtek's CAPA111 offers cutting-edge graphics performance but low-power consumption," said Michelle Mi, product manager of the Product Marketing and Planning Division at Axiomtek. "The CAPA111 3.5in embedded board also comes with plenty of I/O connectivity and expansion options, making system integration easier and speeding time-to-market. For system designers looking for high-end graphics capabilities in a fanless solution, the CAPA111 is truly the ideal choice."

Energy-efficient processors and high-end graphics

The CAPA111 is powered by AMD G-Series single core T40R and dual core T40E APU with A50M FCH and has an advanced graphic engine with DirectX 11 supported. The low-power CAPA111 provides outstanding visual experience while maintaining very low power consumption.

Rich I/O and more features

While measuring only 146mm x 104mm, the compact CAPA111 comes with advanced connectivity including six USB 2.0 ports, two SATA-600 ports, four COM ports (3 x RS-232 and 1 x RS-232/422/485), dual Gigabit LANs, CompactFlash™ socket, VGA, LVDS, and HD audio. Besides, it provides high-bandwidth expansion capability with one PCI Express Mini card for custom system configurations. Additionally, the CAPA111 supports Windows® 7, Windows® Vista, Windows® XP embedded, and Linux. The built-in Watchdog Timer keeps the system running smoothly.

The green yet powerful CAPA111 embedded board will be available around the end of December 2011. For more product details or pricing, please visit our website or contact us.
