April 14, 2014 - DFI launches 2 Mini-ITX motherboards – KB160 and KB161. The two models adopting the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC platform provide an exceptionally high-definition visual experience and deliver up to 70% overall improvement over AMD G-Series APU. With the new level processor, the 2 models improve overall performance and achieve higher system quality, reliability, and energy efficiency. The AMD G-Series SoC is designed to be optimized for visual performance and power efficiencies. The AMD HD 8000 Series onboard graphics enhance multimedia capabilities and support up to 3 display outputs, including 1 VGA, LVDS, and DP.
The KB160 and KB161 provide 2 DDR3L SODIMM sockets supporting up to 8GB. The two Mini-ITX industrial motherboards are also packed with improved I/O, including 2 LAN ports, 4 COM ports, 6 USB ports, 2 SATA ports, 1 LPC connector for additional COM/Parallel ports, and 8-bit Digital I/O connector for device controls. The expansion design of these motherboards offer additional capabilities, including 1 PCIe x4, 1 Mini PCIe, 1 DFI Proprietary Extension Bus for PCIe/PCI expansion and 1 DFI EXC interface for I/O expansion to fit more requirements. The 2 boards differ in that KB160 provides 1 24-pin ATX power connector while the KB161 provides 1 12V DC-in (default) or 1 4-pin ATX (optional) in order to provide additional options to customers.
DFI is focused on developing a complete AMD Embedded G-Series SoC-based product line to meet different requirements, such as Mini-ITX, COM Express and 3.5” SBC. With the design of high performance at low power, these embedded boards are the best solution for any kind of industrial applications. KB160 and KB161, Mini-ITX industrial motherboards with expansive features, are the ideal choices for a whole range of applications such as industrial control automation, security & surveillance, and smart grid.
