iBase IB961 3.5″ SBC is for rugged embedded systems

Last month, iBASE Technology introduced a new x86-based 3.5″ Single Board Computer powered by 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. The IB961 3.5″ SBC, measuring 102mm x 147mm, suits a range of embedded applications.

The IB961 3.5″ SBC offers several 13th Gen Intel® Core™ options, including the i7-1370PRE, i7-1370PE, i5-1340PE, i5-1335UE, and i3-1320PE. These processors feature a hybrid architecture with up to 6 Performance cores (P-cores) and up to 8 Efficient cores (E-cores). A DDR5-based SO-DIMM slot with a 32GB capacity provides high memory density in a compact form factor. Storage is handled via an M.2 interface (M2280), optimized for NVMe drives. The AMI BIOS ensures reliable and customizable firmware management.

IB961 3.5″ SBC has extensive connectivity options

The IB961 3.5″ SBC delivers robust performance and versatile connectivity through various expansion options. It features three M.2 slots for different functionalities. The M-Key (Type 2280) slot supports NVMe drives with PCIe (4x) signals for high-speed storage. The E-Key (Type 2230) slot supports CNVi for wireless connectivity, and the B-Key (Type 3052) slot supports 5G/LTE modules.

The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ mobile processor with integrated graphics powers the video outputs. The board offers multiple video outputs via two DisplayPort 1.2 interfaces, with additional support for eDP and LVDS. Dual Ethernet ports feature Intel® I226LM and I226V controllers.

The board includes three USB 2.0 ports (one Type-A and two via pin headers) and three USB 3.2 Type-A ports for peripheral connectivity. Whereas, it also has two SATA III ports for external storage. The audio is managed by the built-in HD audio capabilities of the chipset, but this is enhanced by the ALC888S codec for high-quality sound output. The system includes a Fintek F81804U-I I/O chipset for additional interface control, two COM ports for serial communication, and digital I/O with 4 inputs and 4 outputs for versatile device control.

IB961 3.5″ SBC is built for embedded environments

Note that the IB961 3.5″ SBC consumes 7.66 amps on a 12V power supply when equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7-2600 processor and 2x 2GB DDR3-1333 memory. Although it has relatively high power consumption for its size, the board compensates with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 75°C.

The IB961 3.5″ SBC by IBASE Technology, powered by 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, combines robust performance, flexible memory and storage options, and extensive connectivity in a compact form factor. It operates in extreme temperatures. Although iBase technology hasn’t announced sales information for the board, more details are available on its product page. The box also includes an optional heatsink and heat spreader, as noted on the website.
