Product Overview

2

The VIA EITX-3001 is a high performance single board computer

(SBC) with low power requirements based on the Embedded ITX

(Em-ITX) form factor. Its low power requirements are made

possible by its usage of energy efficient VIA Nano CPU.

The EITX-3001 is designed for ultra-thin embedded applications

and can withstand temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C. The

powerful VIA Nano processor and VIA VX855 media system

processor are placed on the bottom side of the board, enabling

an efficient space-saving design that easily accommodates quiet

and passive cooling thermal solutions.

The EITX-3001 includes an onboard DC-to-DC converter that

supports both AT and ATX power modes. The power converter

can support a wide range of power input voltage from DC 7V to

DC 36V and can be configured through an onboard switch.

With generous support for multiple display options, the EITX-3001

is ideally suited for high-end multimedia applications including

POS, kiosks, ATM, HMI, factory automation, POI, and digital

signage. The dual I/O coastline design of the EITX-3001 provides

ample space for multiple ports such as one HDMI

®

port, one VGA

port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232

COM ports, and two RS-232/422/485 configurable COM ports.
