Description
AAEON has launched the PICO-ADN4, a versatile PICO-ITX board designed for Industry 4.0 applications like industrial automation and quality control in assembly lines. Available in both standard and wide-temperature range versions, it is suitable for harsh factory environments. While supporting a 12V DC input, an optional DC-DC converter allows compatibility with 9V to 36V power sources, making it ideal for locations with fluctuating power.
The PICO-ADN4 supports processors from Intel’s latest lineup, including the Intel® Core™ i3 Processor N-series, Intel Atom® x7000E Series, and Intel® Processor N-series (formerly Alder Lake-N), offering flexibility for a variety of processing tasks. This board also features LPDDR5 system memory for faster data transmission, with soldered memory for increased reliability in vibration-prone environments. Its advanced Ethernet capabilities include 2.5GbE support, ensuring robust networking performance.
For display outputs, the PICO-ADN4 provides HDMI and LVDS interfaces, along with multiple connectors for communication and control. Expansion options include Wi-Fi support, mSATA for additional storage, and BIOS-based features. Despite its low-power processors, the PICO-ADN4 delivers strong graphics performance with Intel® UHD Graphics for 12th Gen Intel® Processors, offering improved render clock frequencies and higher single-core performance compared to the previous generation.
