Product Data Sheet
Viper
EBX Single Board Computer
Overview
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 socket, 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, 5-year minimum
off-the-shelf availability guarantee, and expert US-based technical
support. From application design-in support, to its 10+ year
extended life programs, the Viper provides a durable embedded
computer solution with an excellent cost of ownership.
