The Zeta COM Express SBC family of ultra-small embedded computer boards combines a COM Express Mini CPU module mounted on a same-size carrier board to create a complete embedded PC. Designed in the COM Express Mini Type 10 form factor (84×55mm/ 3.3×2.2 in), Zeta provides an ultra-compact, industry-standard form factor solution.
3 key components pre-assembled:
This layered architecture offers the highest functional density for any given footprint. As a comparison, Zeta offers functionality and performance equivalent to Diamond’s top-selling Aries SBC at just 40% of the size.
Zeta currently supports three processor options:Zeta’s small size and high feature density make it an ideal choice for mobile applications. It stands ready to meet the challenges of these environments with a wide range 6-36VDC input voltage, a −40 to +85°C operating temperature range, and fanless heat spreader cooling (heat sink options are available).
