PICO-CV01Fanless Pico-ITX Board with Intel® Atom™ N2600 Processor AAEON, a leading industrial computing manufacturer, today released its latest small form factor Pico-ITX board, measuring only 100mm x 72mm, powered by the dual core 1.6GHz Intel® Atom™ N2600 low power consumption processor and Intel® NM10 express chipset. The PICO-CV01 offers high performance per watt in the compact form factor, to meet the demands of high-end industrial and various fanless embedded applications.

Based on the Pico-ITX form factor, the AAEON PICO-CV01 combines a rich I/O set with great multimedia performance, supporting a mini-HDMI interface (audio/video) and onboard 18-bit single channel LVDS.  The PICO-CV01 supports a DDR3 800 SODIMM up to a maximum of 2GB of memory, one SATA2.0 interface, two COM ports, five USB2.0 ports, one 4-bit DIO interface, one Gigabit Ethernet port, one half-size mini-Card that can be made to support mSATA modules for storage and one DC 12V input.  This board is small but has a board thickness of 1.8mm to be more rigid to withstand the pressure exerted from the installed heatsink , and is therefore less likely to crack over time. “The PICO-CV01 is a comprehensive, fanless and small embedded board suitable for use in harsh environments,” said Joe Lin, Product Manager of AAEON’s Embedded Computer Division. “It’s operating temperature of (correct temp info) 0℃~60℃and compact size is ideally suitable for integration into fanless DIN-Rail PCs, industrial systems, small size POI to be used in Industrial Automation, Smart Homes, Smart Buildings and Energy applications. Less than 10 Watts of power consumption also makes this SBC a contender for hand-held, battery-powered applications.”  PICO-CV01 Main Features: - Intel® Atom™ N2600 Processor up to 1.6 GHz - SODIMM DDR3 800MHz Memory up to 2 GB - Gigabit Ethernet x 1 - HDMI Support - 18-bit Single Channel LVDS LCDs - HD Audio for Line-in/out & Mic - mSATA/ Mini Card (Half size) x 1, SATA 2 x 1 - USB2.0 x 5, COM x 2, 4-bit Digital I/O - DC 12V Power Input If Microsoft® Windows® platform is used, customers can easily create their own user interface without additional coding simply by downloading the AAEON-developed Hi-Safe™ program.
