Introduction

Congatec's new conga-JC370 3.5 inch SBC is equipped with the 1.8 GHz quad-core™ Intel^® Core™ i7-8565U Mobile processor that impresses with a performance increase of up to 40% compared to previous U-Series processors (codenamed Kaby Lake) enabled by a leap from 2 to 4 cores along with the improved microarchitecture. The memory is designed to match this performance boost: Two DDR4 SODIMM sockets with up to 2400 MT/s are available for a total of up to 64GB.

For the first time, USB 3.1 Gen2 is now supported natively. This USB SuperSpeed+ interface is capable of transferring up to 10 Gbps or 1.25 GByte/s, which makes it possible to transfer even uncompressed UHD video from a camera to a monitor. The new conga-JC370 provides this performance via a rear USB-C connector that also supports 1x DisplayPort++ and power delivery for peripheral devices, thereby enabling monitor connection with a single cable. Further interfaces include the support of overall 3 independent 60 Hz UHD displays with up to 4096x2304 pixels as well as 2x Gigabit Ethernet (1x with TSN support). The new conga-JC370 offers all this and many more interfaces with an economical 15 W TDP, which is scalable from 10 W (800 MHz) to 25 W (up to 4.6 GHz in Turbo Boost mode). Next to the Intel^® Core™ i7-8565U processor, a variant with i3-8145U processor is available, which offers two cores and a clock rate of up to 2.1 GHz. Of course, these processors will also be available on all other relevant form factors from congatec.
