DESCRIPTION
Neptune introduces a new concept in small form factor
embeddedSBCs.TheCPUcoreconsistsofanETXmodule
which mounts on the bottom side of the baseboard for
improvedthermalmanage ment.Thistechniqueprovides

efficient, cost‐effective,reliable
and compact embedded
SBC rich in I/O andother user benefits.Neptune is the
first 6‐in‐1 embedded SBC integrating processor, system
I/O, data acquisition and even a DC/DC power supply
ontoasingleboardinthecompactEPICformat.
You can select from a wide range of ETX CPU modules
fromaworld‐class suppliertotailor Neptune’spriceand
performance to you application and budget.A PC/104‐
Plus expansion connector enables you to add still more
I/O or features if needed, and th e built in 5V or 7‐28V
input DC/DC power supply provides flexibility in
integrating the SBC with your system power supply.
These features give Neptune an unsurpassed level of

NEPTUNE
BENEFITS OF 6‐in‐1 INTEGRATION
LESS SPACE: Smaller and thinner than a stack of PC/104
boards
LOWER COST:An integrated solution eliminates extra PCBs
andconnectorstolowertheunitcost
HIGHER RELIABILITY: Less interconnects and components,
resultinginhigherreliability
MORE RUGGED:The flatter profile and reduction in
connectors makes Neptune far
more rugged in mobile
applications
SINGLE VENDOR:Purchasing and stocking are easier with a
singleboard
