Low Power SBC With ATOM
With the Intel Atom single board computer program, Eurotech and Intel core capabilities come together. In our low power SBC products such as Vector we combine the power of Intel Atom architecture with Eurotech's value proposition. Eurotech offers low power SBC advantages in both hardware and software design as well as in our business model, focused on flexibility to ensure our customers receive the right low power SBC solution and support to meet unique device needs.
Value: Hardware
The Atom Z5xxP-based Vector offers you low power and high performance through a robust SBC design that doesn't require fans or heatsinks, allowing you to plug the board into any embedded application easily in order to get to market quickly.
Vector is available in the EPIC form factor and offers several standard configurations, giving OEMs the flexibility to chose the features that are right for unique market needs. Some key highlights include:
- Dual CAN, serial ports, high speed USB, Gigabit Ethernet and more
- Between 7W to 11W of power consumption

For those applications that require a more customized solution, Eurotech's Catalyst product family offers a full suite of Intel Atom capabilities in a small form factor with lowest power consumption and highest performance of any x86 systems today. The Catalyst family includes the Catalyst Module XL, the Catalyst LP, and the Catalyst TC, all delivered in the 67 x 100 mm custom form factor offers flexibility without sacrificing capabilities or increasing cost.
- 67 x 100 mm custom form factor
- Lowest Z height possible for low profile integration
- Commercial and industrial temperature options
- Long life cycle support
- Deliver full range of Atom processor capabilities without sacrificing on power or foot print
- Highest level of hardware reliability
Other Atom-powered solutions from Eurotech include the Atom Powered ISIS PC104, Proteus COM Express and custom Atom-based platforms. With a long list of solutions across form factors and Atom processors, Eurotech offers you the choice of ATOM Single Board Computer or COM configurations that are right for your device needs.
Value: Software
Eurotech applied decades of Intel architecture experience to developing the Vector, Catalyst Module, and other Atom-based solutions from firmware to framework. Many of our solutions offer a conforming system BIOS developed in-house but with extensive support from Intel, ensuring customers that our code is optimized to Intel Atom power management architecture. Our embedded controller software was also developed in-house for a low cost, low power, and industrial strength solution. Furthermore, our operating system (OS) choices are extensive.
- Optimized software solution for Intel Atom with focus on low power, low cost, and application-readiness
- Broad participation in the Linux development community and close relationship with Microsoft, including several MPVs and certified developers
- Atom-optimized BIOS, developed by Eurotech Intel architecture senior engineering staff
- In-house OS expertise for Windows Embedded, Wind River Linux, and much more
Value: Business Model
Eurotech is dedicated to offering flexibility in both our product line and our business model, which is easily customized to meet unique OEM needs for the Vector and other Intel Atom-based solutions. Customers can choose from several standard configurations to meet unique device needs while still working with an SBC design. For those customers who want to build their own carrier board (by working with Eurotech or through a third party), Eurotech's Catalyst family supports off-the-shelf, optimized, or architect solutions.
