Avalue EPX-TWLP-N150-A1R Intel N150 2.5″ Pico-ITX SBC with Dual 2.5GbE and Triple Display

Digital signage networks often run hundreds of identical players, so the board inside each one needs to be small, cool-running and simple to power. The EPX-TWLP-N150-A1R fits that pattern. It is the Intel N150 build in the Avalue EPX-TWLP series, a 2.5″ Pico-ITX SBC measuring 100 x 72 mm with DDR5 memory, dual 2.5GbE and three display outputs.

The Intel N150 is a quad-core Twin Lake processor with a 6 W TDP, soldered to the underside of the board. It suits media playback, kiosk applications, browser-based HMIs and light data collection. Integrated Intel graphics drive DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.0b at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz and an LVDS panel at up to 1366 x 768. One DDR5 4800 MHz SO-DIMM slot takes up to 16 GB, and the board supports Windows 11 and Linux with firmware TPM.

Two RJ45 ports on Intel I226V 2.5GbE controllers and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports sit on the rear edge beside the stacked DisplayPort and HDMI connectors. Internal headers add four USB 2.0 ports, an RS-232 port, an RS-232/422/485 port for a payment terminal or meter, and 4-bit GPIO. An M.2 B-key socket with SIM takes an SSD or a 4G modem, an M.2 E-key socket takes Wi-Fi, and a SATA III port adds a 2.5″ drive.

The EPX-TWLP-N150-A1R runs from 12 V DC on a lockable jack and operates from 0 to 60 °C, fanless with 0.5 m/s airflow, with CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance. A hardware watchdog brings a stalled player back without a site visit. For more processing in the same 6 W envelope, the EPX-TWLP-N250-A1R uses the higher-tier Intel N250 with identical I/O.
