The MSC C6C-AL module is based on Intel‘s multi-core system-on-chip (SOC) Atom generation (codenamed “Apollo Lake”) that integrates next generation Intel processor core, graphics, memory, and I/O interfaces into one solution. Based on 14nm processor technology this multi-core Atom processor provides outstanding computing and graphics power and is more power efficient compared to its predecessors. The new MSC C6C-AL brings triple independent display support, DirectX 12, fast DDR3L memory and four USB 3.0 on a compact, power saving and cost-efficient module. Different SOCs with dual- and quad-core processors are supported by this design. Besides an extensive set of interfaces and features, the MSC C6C-AL optionally offers hardware based security compliant to the requirements of TCG (Trusted Computing Group). The Type 6 pin-out allows direct access to the latest digital display interfaces like DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4b and DVI. USB 3.0 interfaces support the fastest peripheral devices currently available. Supporting extended temperature range and long availablity the modules are perfectly suited for modern IoT applications.
