Viper

VL-EBX-38

Combines the I/O rich EBX form factor with an outstanding power/performance mix using the Intel “Bay Trail” processor while maintaining the traditional PC/104 plus expansion interface. Available in single, dual and quad core versions, it is a versatile option for systems engineers that require performance and flexibility.

  • Intel Atom "Bay Trail" Processor

    Up to 1.9 GHz clock rate. Quad-, dual-, or single-core options. Low power.

  • On-board and Expansions I/O Options 

    PC/104 plus expansion, 2x mini PCIe sockets, USB 3.0, 6 USB 2.0, 8 AI, 4 AO, 40 DIO, 3 counter/timers and 4 serial COM ports (232/422/485).

  • Trusted Platform Module

    On-board TPM security chip can lock out unauthorized hardware and software access.

Description

The Viper is a low power / high-performance single board computer (SBC) which combines Intel's advanced Bay Trail processor, with a traditional PC/104-Plus™ expansion interface. This combination makes it easy to upgrade existing systems to a powerful 4th generation Atom processor, while preserving plug-in expansion to existing specialty I/O boards. In addition, it also contains a full complement of on-board I/O interfaces, including USB 3.0, mini PCIe expansion sockets, TPM chip, A/D, D/A, and 32-bits of digital I/O.

Driven by a low power E3800 (Bay Trail) processor, with clock rates up to 1.9 GHz, the Viper features quad-, dual-, and single-core processor options.

Viper is built on the industry-standard EBX form factor. It includes legacy ISA and PCI connectors to interface directly with PC/104-Plus expansion boards.

As with all VersaLogic products, the Viper is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. Viper is backed by a 5-year warranty, 10+ year availability, and expert US-based technical support. From application design-in support, to its extended life programs, the Viper provides a durable embedded computer solution with an excellent cost of ownership.

VersaLogic products are designed for use by OEMs working in a variety of market applications: Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Industrial, Security, Medical, Military, Robotics, and Transportation. VersaLogic delivers extremely reliable standard and customized embedded computers backed with unsurpassed service and the highest availability in the market.
