DFI MTH253-BN-16U5135H Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (Meteor Lake) 4″ EPIC Single Board Computer with 9 to 36 V DC Input and Triple LAN

An operator station at a filling line or a control desk in a plant room often shows several things at once: a live camera view, the SCADA mimic and an alarm list. Each screen wants its own output and the graphics to keep video smooth. The MTH253-BN-16U5135H is the 14-core Core Ultra 5 H build in the DFI MTH253 series of 4″ EPIC single board computers, pairing Intel Arc graphics with a 28 W processor for that kind of display work.

Its Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (Meteor Lake) runs 14 cores from 1.7 to 4.6 GHz at a 28 W TDP, with 18 MB of cache. Memory is 16 GB of LPDDR5/x soldered in dual channel. Intel Arc graphics decode and encode AV1, HEVC, VP9 and AVC in hardware and support DirectX 12.2, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0, driving HDMI 1.4b, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode at up to 4096 x 2304 and an internal dual-channel LVDS panel for three displays.

Two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V and one GbE port on Intel I210AT, with out-of-band management support, connect cameras, the control network and an uplink. Six COM ports (two RS-232/422/485 and two RS-232 on DB9, two RS-232 on internal headers) and 8-bit DIO on COM4 serve legacy devices. Five USB 3.2 Type-A ports handle touch screens and keyboards, and the M.2 M-key at PCIe Gen4 x4, M.2 B-key with nano SIM, M.2 E-key and SATA 3.0 port take an NVMe SSD, a 4G or 5G module and Wi-Fi.

The MTH253-BN-16U5135H runs from 9 to 36 V DC on a 4-pin or barrel connector and operates from -5 to 65 °C with an active cooler, so it suits a ventilated console or cabinet. It carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance and a TPM 2.0. If the workload needs 32 GB and 16 cores, choose MTH253-BN-32U7165H; for a fanless 15 W build, MTH253-BN-16U5125U keeps 12 cores in a passive design.
