Mini-ITX motherboard from Kontron

The embedded Mini-ITX motherboard KTHM65/mITX is based on the Intel HM65 chipset that combines scalable performance from Celeron B810 up to 2nd generation Core i3/i5/i7 dual- or quad-core processors, with the most common features for maximum cost savings.

Even with its reduced interface range, the board offers high graphics performance, multi-display support and long-term availability tailored to the needs of many application areas in digital signage, gaming, POS/POI and markets such as medical imaging, industrial automation or test and measurement.

Compared with embedded motherboards with Intel QM67 or Q67 chipset and support for high-end technologies such as Intel AMT and RAID, the motherboard features are reduced to the most common ones to achieve an optimised price-performance ratio.

Individual adjustments of interfaces can be achieved via the PCIe and mini PCIe extension slots as well as with the configurable feature connector. Enabled by the implemented embedded controller, the feature connector supports up to 160 GPIO, including analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters.

A maximum of 32 GB DDR3 RAM is supported to enable memory intensive applications in the smallest footprint. For the design of the peripheral interfaces, the board integrates the Intel HM65 controller hub.

Interfaces for video include 2x DisplayPort, LVDS/eDP and 1x DVI to connect displays directly to the motherboard without additional interface cards. With one Gen 2.0 PCIe x16 and PCIe x1 plus a Mini PCIe slot, the board provides ample slots to plug in application-specific expansion cards. External devices find connection via 12x USB 2.0 and 1x GbE-LAN to enable fast networking. Numerous storage media can be connected via the 6x SATA interfaces (2x SATA III) and the mSATA (mini-SATA) socket for high-speed on-board SSD. HD audio tops off the feature set of the Mini-ITX embedded motherboard.
