MSC C6C-BW

Intel® Atom™ / Pentium® / Celeron® SOC

The MSC C6C-BW module is based on Intel‘s multi-core system-on-chip (SOC) Atom generation 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 MSC C6C-BW brings triple independent display support, DirectX 11.1, fast DDR3L memory and 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-BW 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.
