Product Data Sheet
Copperhead
EBX Single Board Computer
Overview
The Copperhead is a high-performance embedded computer
powered by the 3rd Generation Intel “Ivy Bridge” family of processors.
Its performance level and extensive I/O allows for the integration of
multiple high-bandwidth functions, such as digital signal processing
and real-time video processing, onto a single board. This can
drastically reduce system cost and size when used to replace
multi-board chassis-based systems or custom hardware.
For systems that require video processing or intense computation,
the Copperhead features a high-speed memory interface, up to
16 GB on-board RAM capacity, and up to three independent display
outputs. The PCIe/104 expansion site with a PCIe x16 lane is ideal
for add-on cards, such as frame grabbers.
Based on the industry-standard EBX format, the Copperhead
provides a choice of Intel core i7, core i3, and Celeron processor
options to meet a variety of price/performance application
requirements. It features several heat management configurations
and offers options for I/O interfaces and interface connectors.
The Copperhead enables scalability, simplifies design, and lowers
overall system cost.
