Introduction
Advantechs PC/104 product line (PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI/104) offers fully-featured CPU modules and a
variety of PC/104 peripheral modules that combine small size, industrial grade construction/reliability and open
specifications. Plus, the modular flexibility, card-to-card buses, low cost standard PC software and increased speed
to market capabilities, all make the PC/104 form factor extremely attractive. The small size and power functionality
make these boards perfect for a huge range of general and end user embedded applications. As a PC/104
Consortium Associate Member and worldwide number one PC/104 stackable solution leader, Advantechs PC/104
products can meet any embedded market demands.
PC/104 Modules
1. Fanless and Low Power Consumption
A fanless design with low power consumption
reduces potential failure caused by moving parts and
extends operational life. Fanless platforms can also
save energy and reduce system noise.
2. Long MTBF and High Reliability
Outstanding Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
enhances system reliability and lowers system
downtime.
3. Vibration Resistant
PC/104 form factors are smaller and better suited to
critical vibration environments such as military and
mission critical applications.

Introduction
Advantechs 3.5 biscuit form factor SBC is the most popular small form factor for embedded applications.
Advantech 3.5 SBCs feature fanless/low power chipsets designed with 5V single voltage input and unified
connectors along the PCB edge (coastline). They are slim and can be expanded via PC/104 connectors. Advantech
biscuit SBCs high shock and vibration resistance, plus an extended range of temperature endurance allow them to
operate in inhospitable and remote locations. A huge range of PC/104 add-on modules provide modular flexibility
needed for embedded application requirements. Advantech 3.5 SBCs provide more than just a board solution;
they can not only be expanded with popular PC/104 stackable add on modules, but also with Advantechs MIO/160
embedded bus for even more flexibility. All these features make them ideal for wide temperature range and space
limited applications in fields such as CNC, ticketing and factory automation.

Introduction
Advantechs Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing(EPIC) is a mid-sized embedded SBC with multiple
I/O expansion options jointly developed by the PC/104 consortium. With a defined 4.53" x 6.50" (114.3 mm x
165.1mm) footprint, EPIC sits between the smaller PC/104 and the larger EBX form factor. This size board supports
larger processors requiring larger heat sinks. The added space also allows for combining features on an SBC which
would normally be found on multiple PC/104 modules.
The EPIC standard clearly defines the PC/104 module expansion areas for CPU, power, and I/O zones. Advantech
follows the EPIC standard form factor for expansion and I/O zones but adds a unified connector design for even
greater integration and upgrade possibilities. The EPIC form factor offers stacking capability and easy expansion,
plus the ability to operate in some of the most demanding application environments in the aerospace, military,
medical, and transportation industries.

Introduction
Advantech EBX & 5.25 SBCs are mid-sized embedded form factor 5.75 x 8.0 (146 mm x 203 mm) SBCs that
are slightly larger than PC/104 and EPIC form factors. EBX & 5.25 SBC offer flexible I/O, low power, and fanless
designs that are tested for extended temperature and reliability. Because there are no I/O coastlines, system
designers have more freedom to design their hardware without concern for connector locations - internal cables
connect the board and peripheral devices. EBX was developed by the PC/104 Embedded Consortium, which defined
the module stacking, power, and I/O areas. EBX are easily expanded using standard PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCI-104
and PCI stackable modules. The 5.25 SBC series have the same dimensions as the EBX form factor, but without
the PC/104 module stacking, power, and I/O areas.
Additionally, the EBX PCI infrastructure and PC/104-Plus expansion bus offer true processor independence and
high performance standards-based system expansion. EBX compliant boards have a form-factor large enough to
implement a powerful SBC capable of hosting todays advanced operating systems, yet small enough to fit in the
tight spaces of deeply embedded applications.
The EBX standard creates opportunity for economies of scale in chassis, power supply, and peripheral devices. It
defines how products interoperate by providing mechanical rules for mandatory features and recommended zones
for flexible I/O options. These attributes make EBX the flexible choice for a broad range of embed
