TRIA C6C-AL
The TRIA C6C-AL module is based on Intel‘s multi-core system-on-chip (SOC) Atom generation (codenamed “Apollo Lake”) that integrates Intel processor core, graphics, memory, and I/O interfaces into one solution. Based on 14nm processor technology this multi-core Atom processor provides outstanding computing and graphics power and is more power efficient compared to its predecessors. The TRIA C6C-AL brings triple independent display support, DirectX 12, fast DDR3L memory and four USB 3.0 on a compact, power saving and cost-efficient module. Different SOCs with dual- and quad-core processors are supported by this design. Besides an extensive set of interfaces and features, the TRIA C6C-AL optionally offers hardware based security compliant to the requirements of TCG (Trusted Computing Group).The Type 6 pin-out allows direct access to digital display interfaces like DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4b and DVI and provides USB 3.0/2.0 interfaces for connecting to peripheral USB devices. Supporting extended temperature range and long availability the modules are perfectly suited for modern IoT applications.
