3.5. Processor Support
The mITX-DNV is designed to support Intel® Denverton Processors, Atom™ C3000 Series. The BGA CPU is remounted
from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded
CPUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.

Sufficient cooling must be applied to the CPU in order to remove the effect as listed as TDP (Thermal Design Power) in
above table. The sufficient cooling is also depending on the worst case maximum ambient operating temperature and
the actual worst case load of processor.
3.6. System Memory Support
The mITX-DNV has two DDR4 UDIMM socket. The socket supports the following memory features:
1x DDR4 UDIMM 288-pin (Atom™ C3338)
2x DDR4 UDIMM 288-pin (Atom™ C3538)
1866 / 2133 MHz memory speed
SPD timing supported
ECC supported
The installed DDR4 UDIMM should support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to
read and configure the memory controller for optimal performance. If non-SPD memory is used, the BIOS will attempt
to configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted, or the board may not be able to
boot totally.
3.6.1. Memory Operating Frequencies
In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all the memory modules placed in the
system. Each memory module's frequency can be determined through the SPD registers on the memory modules.
The table below lists the resulting operating memory frequencies based on the combination of UDIMMs and
processor.

DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 2133.33 1066.67 266.67 17066.67
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of
modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard.
As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of
the system and as for reference.
For volume production you might request to test and qualify other types of RAM. In order to qualify RAM it is
recommend configuring 3 systems running RAM Stress Test program in heat chamber at 60° C for a minimum of 24
hours.
3.7. On-board Graphics Subsystem
The mITX-DNV integrates a VGA GPU based on the PCIe high-speed interface for small screen display applications.

3.8. Power Supply
In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the input power supply must monitor the supply voltage and shut
down if the supply is out of range – refer to the actual power supply specification. Please note, in order to keep the
power consumption to a minimal level, boards do not implement a guaranteed minimum load. In some cases, this can
lead to compatibility problems with ATX power supplies that require a minimum load to stay in regulation. The mITXDNV board must be powered through the 24-pin ATX (24-pole) connector using standard ATX power supply.
ATX supply: ATX-24p connector must be used in according to the ATX PSU standard.
Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.
The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
Table 7: Supply Voltages
Supply Min. Max. Note
VCC3.3 3.135 V 3.265 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification
Vcc 4.75 V 5.25 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification.
Should be minimum 5.00 V measured at USB connectors in order to
meet the requirements of USB standard.
+12 V 11.4 V 12.6 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification
-12 V -13.2 V -10.8 V Should be ±10% for compliance with the ATX specification
-5 V -5.50 V -4.5 V Not required for the mITX-DNV boards

power supply. When this signal is asserted high, there should be sufficient energy stored
by the converter to guarantee continuous power operation within specification.
Conversely, when the output voltages fall below the undervoltage threshold, or when
mains power has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation
is no longer guaranteed, POWER_OK should be de-asserted to a low state. The
recommended electrical and timing characteristics of the POWER_OK signal are provided
in the ATX12V Power SupplyDesign Guide.
It is strongly recommended to use an ATX supply, in order to implement the supervision of
the 5V and 3V3 supplies. These supplies are not supervised on-board.
PS_ON Active low open drain signal from the board to the power supply to turn on the power
supply outputs. Signal must be pulled high by the power supply.
