Nexcom EBC 358X-6413E 3.5″ SBC with Intel Atom x6413E, Triple Display and -40 to 80 °C Rating

Traffic signal controllers, speed cameras and railway gate cabinets sit outdoors all year, and the board inside has to cope with frost and summer heat on the supply the cabinet already has. The EBC 358X-6413E is the quad-core Intel Atom x6413E build in the Nexcom EBC 358X series: a 3.5 inch SBC rated from -40 to 80 °C at board level with the cooler kit fitted.

The Intel Atom x6413E is a quad-core Elkhart Lake processor at 1.5 GHz base with bursts up to 3.0 GHz and a 9 W TDP, which suits gateway, telematics and HMI software. One DDR4-3200 non-ECC SO-DIMM socket takes up to 32 GB. For displays, VGA runs at up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, HDMI 1.4b at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz and a dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS interface at up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, so one board can drive a panel and two monitors at once.

I/O covers two Gigabit Ethernet ports on Intel I210-IT controllers, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports including RS-232/422/485, 8-bit digital I/O, a watchdog timer, onboard TPM 2.0 and HD audio with line-out, speaker-out and mic-in. A full-size mini-PCIe slot and an M.2 3042 Key B socket each have a nano-SIM slot, and storage is one SATA 3.0 port with a SATA power connector. The EBC 358X carries the quad-core Atom x6425E at 12 W, and the EBC 358X-6211E the dual-core Atom x6211E at 6 W.

Power is 12 V or 24 V DC only, detected automatically, on a 4-pin (2 x 2) ATX connector, with AT and ATX modes. The EBC 358X-6413E operates from -40 to 80 °C at board level based on the EBC358X cooler kit, stores from -40 to 85 °C and handles 10 to 95% operating humidity, non-condensing. The board measures 146 x 105 mm, and a heat spreader kit is also offered. It meets CE and FCC Class A.
