LiPPERTs Cool RoadRunner-945GSE: PC/104-Plus SBC with Atom N270 Processor

Cool RoadRunner-945GSE

  • PC/104-Plus Single Board Computer - Intel Atom N270 Processor

The Cool RoadRunner-945GSE (formerly named "Cool RoadRunner-Atom") delivers high computing performance while consuming only little power. Its Atom processor was created with todays most advanced semiconductor technology and is especially suitable for low-power embedded devices.

The Cool RoadRunner-945GSE is available in the standard temperature range of -20°C…+60°C. Optionally, it can be ordered for the extended range of -40°C…+85°C. There are standard cooling solutions available for both temperature ranges. Check the related application note for their possibilities. A suitable heat spreader is already included.
