AAEON’s newest PICO-ITX board offers Meteor Lake processors, LPDDR5x, and a -20°C to 70°C temperature range.

Premier embedded computing provider AAEON, has announced the release of the PICO-MTU4, the smallest single-board computer to host the new Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor platform.

On the ultra-small 100mm x 72mm PICO-ITX form factor, the PICO-MTU4 leverages the disaggregated die design, hybrid CPU core architecture, and integrated VPU of the Intel® Core™ Ultra series for a multi-thread performance increase of up to 24%, with a 50% reduction in SoC power consumption.

Key Features:

  • Intel Core Ultra 5/7 Processors on the PICO-ITX (100mm x 72mm) form factor
  • Wide -20°C to 70°C default temperature range
  • LPDDR5x, up to 32GB
  • M.2 2280 M-Key (PCIe 4.0 [x4]), and an M.2 2230 E-Key (PCIe 4.0 [x1])

The board is available in SKUs featuring both Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 and 5 Processors, all with a TDP of 15W, maxing out at a total of 12 cores (2 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and a further 2 Low Power E-cores) and 14 threads of processing power.

Equipped with LPDDR5x, two LAN ports (2.5GbE and 1GbE), two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and a variety of serial interfaces for industrial protocols like dual COM for RS-232/422/485, a 4-bit GPIO, and SMBus, AAEON have indicated the board will target the advanced industrial robotics market, with SCADA, MES, and system monitoring devices singled out as particularly suitable uses.

Expansion comes in the form of SATA, an M.2 2280 M-Key (PCIe 4.0 [x4]), and an M.2 2230 E-Key (PCIe 4.0 [x1]). This not only grants adequate storage, but also Wi-Fi 6 support and other wireless communication options for edge solutions such as roadside units, the suitability of which is evident with the board’s default temperature tolerance range of -20°C ~ 70°C.
