This latest chipset from Intel® offers a graphics engine up to 400MHz, high-speed I/O, and much more. Through Eurotech's design expertise, the Catalyst LP leverages these capabilities to offer a feature-dense embedded solution in the same, fanless 67 x 100 mm form factor that makes our Catalyst product so powerful.
Applications
The Catalyst LP is suited for a range of target applications. It offers high-performance graphics for applications requiring high-end 2-D and 3-D visualization with high-resolution graphics capabilities, including digital signage. In addition, high bandwidth I/O capability including PCIe, and data storage interfaces like SATA make the Catalyst LP ideal for applications requiring extensive data retrieval and processing such as those in the industrial, medical, gaming, human-machine interface, and other markets. The small, fanless design makes it also suited for battery-operated, hand-held devices.
Scalability
With a common footprint, the Catalyst LP system is easily scalable and allows existing Catalyst Module customers to migrate to the new Intel® Atom N450™ and D510™ processors with minimal effort.
