The Key Elements of A Rugged System Low Power Consumption
Shock/ Vibration Resistance
PCBA Coating
IP Design
Advantech Confidential
Low Power Consumption Platforms • To withstand harsh environments, especially intensive and/or critical shock and vibration, rugged systems usually adopt a fanless design. • Intel’s latest Bay Trail and Haswell (U series) platforms with TDP ranging 5~10W, 15W respectively, fit the low power consumption needs of a rugged system.

Haswell - 4th Generation Core Processor Media & Graphics
Improved video playback quality up to 24% graphics improvement over previous generation CPU Performance
Performance increased up to 13% over previous generation Power Consumption
Innovative design form factors with up to 10% lower design power (TDP) vs. previous generation* * ULV processor solution comparison Advantech Confidential
Bay Trail – New System on Chip Processor Media & Graphics
Improved video playback quality and performance over previous generation CPU Performance
Increased CPU performance of fanless applications, up to 5 times better than previous generation Power Consumption
Innovative fanless design form factors with lower design power (TDP) vs. previous generation with chipset

PCBA Coating • PCBA coating is a protective chemical coating that conforms to the circuit board topology. • It protects electronic circuits from harsh environments that may contain moisture or chemical contaminants. • By being electrically insulating, the PCBA maintains long-term surface insulation resistance and thus ensures the operational integrity throughout assembly.

Ingress Protection Design • The IP Code classifies degrees of protection from dust, water and impact afforded by electrical equipment and enclosures. • It is shown as two digit numbers. The bigger the number, the better the protection. • The presumed applications for a rugged system determines its IP level request. First digit
