Vecow EMBC-5000 3.5" SBCs with 11th Gen Intel Core Processors and Wide-Range DC Input

Designs for vehicles, kiosks and robots need a small board with Core-class performance, networking for real-time data and a power input that copes with vehicle and industrial supplies. The Vecow EMBC-5000 series brings those together in the 3.5 inch form factor, with 11th Gen Intel Core processors, a 9 to 55 V DC input with ignition control and fanless operation, and an option for SUMIT expansion.

Every EMBC-5000 has one DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM socket for up to 32 GB and Intel Iris Xe Graphics driving two DisplayPort outputs up to 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz and dual-channel 16-bit LVDS up to 1920 x 1200. Networking pairs an Intel I219LM Gigabit port with iAMT and an Intel I225-IT 2.5GbE port with Time Sensitive Networking. I/O covers two 10 Gbps USB ports, four RS-232/422/485 ports, two SATA III ports and HD audio, with an M.2 Key B socket and SIM slot for 5G or 4G and an M.2 Key E socket for Wi-Fi. A TPM 2.0, a watchdog timer and hardware monitoring with auto throttling are on board. Display, USB and LAN connectors sit along the front edge, which eases low-profile system designs, and Vecow offers SUMIT expansion design and manufacturing services for custom I/O.

Both models here use the quad-core Intel Core i7-1185G7E. The EMBC-5000-1185G7E is the standard build with six USB 2.0 ports, four of them on optional internal wafers, and no SUMIT connectors. The EMBC-5000E-1185G7E adds full-function SUMIT A and B connectors for stacked expansion boards and keeps two USB 2.0 ports. The ordering table also lists a Core i5-1145G7E build without SUMIT.

Power is 9 to 55 V DC on an ATX 4-pin connector, with 16-mode ignition control. The EMBC-5000 runs fanless from -40 to 75 °C with the processor at 15 W TDP, with heat sink and heat spreader accessories, stores from -40 to 85 °C and handles 5 to 95% humidity, non-condensing. It measures 146 x 102 mm, carries CE and FCC marks, supports Wake on LAN and PXE and runs Windows 10 and Linux. Vecow names intelligent transportation, intelligent vending, robotic control and telemedicine as target applications.
