1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-PV-D5252/D4252/N4552
The WAFER-PV-D5252/D4252/N4552 is a 3.5" SBC with a Intel® Atom D525, D425 or
N455 CPU.
WAFER-PV-D5252/D4252/N4552 SBC
The WAFER-PV-D5252/D4252/N4552 is designed for fanless operation. The low power
CPUs don't require active cooling and stay within specified heat range using the included
heatsink.
Storage on the board is handled by a SATA 3Gb/s port for connecting a hard drive, optical
drive or SSD. The CompactFlash® slot allows a Type II CompactFlash® card to be
installed.
The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor
and one LVDS connector supports 18-bit single-channel display.
Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini cards slot, RS-232, RS-232/422/485,
Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, and digital I/O.
