FCCADN553-BN-N97 Overview
Many newer industrial displays use eDP rather than LVDS, particularly at higher resolutions. The ADN553-BN-N97 pairs that connector with a quad-core Intel N97, making it the straightforward choice in the ADN553 series for a machine HMI or signage player built around an eDP panel. As a 3.5″ single board computer, it can sit inside the display housing itself.
The Intel Processor N97 is a quad-core Alder Lake-N part running up to 3.6 GHz within a 12 W TDP. It gives a Windows 11 or Linux HMI runtime room alongside logging and messaging services, and Intel UHD Graphics decodes HEVC, VP9, AV1 and AVC for video content. Memory is one DDR5 4800 MHz SO-DIMM slot for up to 16 GB. A discrete TPM 2.0 and a programmable watchdog are on board for secure, unattended running.
The eDP connector drives panels up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, and HDMI and USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode can run two more displays. Three 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226V controllers, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port sit on the rear. Internal headers carry two USB 2.0 ports, one RS-232/422/485 port and 8-bit DIO, with one SATA 3.0 port and M.2 sockets for an SSD, a 4G or 5G modem and Wi-Fi.
The ADN553-BN-N97 runs fanless from -5 to 65 °C on 9 to 36 V DC, with CE, FCC, UKCA, KC and RoHS compliance. If your panel is LVDS, the ADN553-BN-N200 offers four cores at 6 W. For a lower-power eDP board, the ADN553-BN-N50 runs two cores at 6 W.
