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.

IPC-610E Regulations

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.

Shock & Vibration Resistance Design • Shock and vibration resistance are taken into consideration in the beginning of a project, and followed through in an integral process including component selection, mechanical design, & verification tests. • Advantech applies its accumulated knowledge to its component library, plus design lessons-learned and test criteria to ensure quality design.

Component Selection

Choose vibration-resistant components

Mechanical Structure Design

Vibration protection via mechanical design

Verification Tests

Structure and function confirmed thru reliability tests
