EMX-C246P
Series: EMX
The Avalue EMX-C246P is a Mini-ITX motherboard designed for industrial and embedded applications. It supports 8th and 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Xeon® E-2200/2100, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors with a TDP of up to 95W, utilizing the Intel® C246 chipset. The board accommodates up to 64GB DDR4 2400/2666MHz SO-DIMM memory with ECC support (depending on CPU). Key features include triple display outputs (2 x HDMI, 1 x VGA, and LVDS/eDP by BOM option), quad Intel® Ethernet ports (1 x I219LM, 3 x I210AT), multiple USB ports (8 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0), serial interfaces (4 x RS-232, 2 x RS-232/422/485), GPIOs, and expansion options through 1 x PCIe x16 slot, 1 x M.2 (2242/2260/2280) M-Key slot supporting Intel® RST and PCIe x4 mode SSDs, and 1 x M.2 (2230) E-Key slot for Wi-Fi modules. With a compact form factor of 170mm x 170mm, ATX power support, and operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, the EMX-C246P offers a robust solution for space-constrained environments.
