3. INTRODUCTION

The MBox-Advanced is a compact Embedded PC based on Intel® Atom™, Pentium® and Celeron® CPUs (code name “Apollo Lake”) for embedded applications. The highly reliable hardware in combination with the rugged housing design enables the usage in industrial and harsh environmental conditions.

The MBox-Advanced focuses to meet individual configurations depending on customers demand. Typical applications are embedded servers, gateways, and all applications, which place high demands on quality, durability and long-term availability.

3.1 Overview

The following key functions are implemented in the MBox-Advanced:

External Interfaces (standard)

• 4 × Gigabit Ethernet

• 2 × USB 3.0

• 1 × RS-232

• Power button / Reset button

Internal Interfaces and connection possibilities

• M.2 B-Keyed socket or 2.5” SATA slot (for SSDs)

Power Supply

• Input voltage range: 9 V to 36 V DC

3.2 Versions

Several different configurations of the MBox-Advanced are available on request. Please refer to www.tq-group.com/en/products/tq-embedded/x86-architecture/mbox-advanced/

3.3 Order Codes

for detailed information.

The MBox-Advanced order code contains the product name and an appendix, which specifies the configuration:

• MBOX-ADV-AA (E3950 SOC, 4GB RAM)

3.4 Accessories

• M.2 SSD 256 Gbyte, –40 °C to +85 °C

• 2.5” SATA SSD 256 Gbyte, –40 °C to +85 °C

• DIN rail mounting set

4. MBOX-ADVANCED FUNCTION

4.1 Power Supply

4.1.1 Supply Voltage

The MBox-Advanced has a wide-range voltage input of 9 V to 36 V DC.

4.1.2 Power Consumption

The power consumption of the system significantly depends on the configuration and the connected devices (COM Express™ module, mass storage devices, USB devices etc.). The maximum input current of the MBox-Advanced is limited to 5 A by a fuse. All USB devices connected to the MBox-Advanced should not exceed 5 W in total.

Note: MBox-Advanced power requirement

The power supply for the MBox-Advanced must be configured with enough reserve. When selecting the power supply, the maximum power consumption of all components

must be taken into account.

4.2 Environmental Conditions

The following temperature parameters were determined by qualification tests (standard configurations without add-on cards, but with I-Temp mass storage):

• Storage temperature: –40 °C to +85 °C

• Operating temperature: –40 °C to +60 °C or 0 °C to +60 °C (depending on COM Express™ module)

• Relative humidity (operating / storage): 10 % to 90 % (not condensing)

When I/O extension modules or HDD/SSDs are selected, attention has to be paid to their storage and operating temperature limits. The temperature inside the MBox-Advanced differs from the ambient temperature.

Note: MBox-Advanced environmental conditions

When powering the MBox-Advanced, make sure the chassis is not covered by any objects. Otherwise the heat dissipation will be restricted by physical effects and the maximum operating temperature will be reduced.
