Mini-ITX Goes 12 V

March 12, 2009

The ITOX NP101-D16C Mini-ITX motherboard only requires a 12-V power source, making it ideal for automotive and industrial applications. It runs a 45-nm, 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 processor in conjunction with Intel’s 945GSE Express chipset and ICH7M I/O controller hub. Its total system thermal design power (TDP) is rated less than 15 W. This low-power motherboard’s 240-pin DDR2 DIMM socket can handle up to 2 Gbytes of DDR2 400- or 533-MHz memory. It supports an 18-bit low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) display interface, a VGA graphics interface, and a serial digital video output (SDVO) connector for optional DVI or 24-bit LVDS display interfaces. The motherboard sports two SATA ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, two Serial COM ports, two PCI Express Gigabit LAN controllers, one PCI Express x1 slot, and one PCI slot.ITOXwww.itox.com

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
