DFI GHF51 AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 1.8" Femto-ITX SBCs with Memory Down and 64GB eMMC

The DFI GHF51 series is a family of 1.8" Femto-ITX single board computers on AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 processors, from the R1102G at 6 W to the R1606G at 12 W. Each 84 x 55 mm board carries 4 or 8 GB of DDR4 memory down, 64 GB eMMC, two 4K HDMI outputs, GbE, USB-C and 8-bit DIO on a passive heatsink, suiting digital signage players, kiosks, thin clients and compact OEM controllers.

  • AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000: Four processor options from the R1102G at 6 W to the R1606G at 12 W, all with AMD Radeon Vega graphics on three compute units.
  • Memory Down and 64 GB eMMC: Either 4 or 8 GB of DDR4-2400 and 64 GB of eMMC are soldered to the board, with no sockets to fit or retain.
  • Dual 4K HDMI: Two HDMI 1.4b outputs at up to 4096 x 2160 drive independent screens, with hardware H.265 encode and decode.
  • 1.8″ Femto-ITX I/O: An 84 x 55 mm board with Intel GbE, USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, a full-size mini PCIe socket and 8-bit DIO.
  • Fanless, 12 V Input: Passive heatsink cooling, 12 V DC on a terminal block and CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance on every build.

GHF51 Description

Digital signage players, kiosk controllers and compact retail or medical terminals often need two screens driven from a board small enough to hide behind one of them. The DFI GHF51 series answers that with AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 processors on an 84 x 55 mm 1.8″ Femto-ITX board, with memory and storage soldered down so the finished unit needs little more than a 12 V supply, a display and an enclosure.

Every R1000 processor in the range has AMD Radeon Vega graphics with three compute units, which encode and decode H.265 and decode VP9 in hardware. Two HDMI 1.4b outputs run independent content at up to 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz. Memory is single-channel DDR4 at 2400 MHz soldered to the board, 4 GB on the 46 builds and 8 GB on the 86 build, and every GHF51 board has 64 GB of eMMC for the operating system and content. A firmware TPM 2.0 is included, and DFI lists Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 64-bit and Linux support.

Six builds cover four processors. The GHF51-BN-46R11 uses the R1102G at 1.2 GHz and 6 W for the lowest power draw, and the GHF51-BN-46R13 steps up to the R1305G at 1.5 GHz and 10 W. The GHF51-BN-46R15 runs the R1505G at 2.4 GHz and 12 W. The R1606G at 2.6 GHz and 12 W has the highest base clock and comes in three builds: the GHF51-BN-46R16 with 4 GB, the GHF51-BN-86R16 with 8 GB for heavier applications, and the GHF51-EN-46R16, which extends operation to -20 to 70 °C.

The I/O is compact and practical. One GbE port on an Intel I211AT controller handles the network, and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port connects a touch controller, camera or storage. A full-size mini PCIe socket, carrying PCIe Gen2 and USB 2.0, can take a wireless module, and an 8-bit DIO header on the board drives indicators or reads buttons and sensors.

Every GHF51 board runs from 12 V DC on a terminal block and cools passively through its heatsink, with no fan to wear or clog. The standard builds operate from 0 to 60 °C for indoor equipment, and the wide temperature EN build suits unheated kiosks and cabinets. The series carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance.
