Swiss Made „Elkhart Lake“ Rugged Embedded Computer Family (CEC20)

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…

For maximum robustness the CEC2x is designed to operate in the range of -40°C up to 85°C and withstand reverse polarity voltage, overvoltage, surge and burst voltages, as well as electromagnetic discharges targeting the MIL-STD-461E, IEC60945 and EN50155 standards.

With the new design, a specific expansion board has been developed. The CEC2x expansion board (FIME) offers 2 x PCIe, 2 x HSIC, 2 x UART, SATA, SDIO, LPC and I2C. This allows a maximum on customization for any I/O Boards and extending the system with additional interfaces. For example: GPIOs, additional serial ports, Gigabit Fiber, CAN, miniPCIe slots even PCI/104-Express port.

The new CEC20 Family is available with a DIN-Rail or flange mount compact aluminum housing, a MIL housing with 38999 connectors according customer requirements, as a 19" rack solution, or as open frame with a cooling concept. OEM version of the CEC are available too. The CEC20 Family is 100% engineered and manufactured by MPL AG in Switzerland.
