iBase IB956

11th Gen Intel® Core™ / Celeron® 3.5" Single Board Computer

The IB956 is a high-performance single board computer in 3.5-inch form factor. Powered by Intel® 11th Gen processor / Intel Celeron® SBC (formerly Tiger Lake H), the versatile embedded board supports four displays through three DisplayPort and 24-bit dual channel LVDS interfaces, making it ideally suited for applications in factory automation, gaming, retail, and healthcare industries. This industrial-grade board is built to operate in both fan and fanless systems, providing 24/7 operation and high reliability.

In addition to the IB956's compact form factor, the IB956 fits up to 32GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory and is equipped with two Intel® 2.5 Gigabit LAN, six USB 3.1 (1 x Type C & 5 x Type A), two USB 2.0, two SATA III, two serial ports and two M.2 slots (2280/2230) for NVMe with PCIe(4x) and CNVi to meet all data transmission and connectivity requirements in various IoT applications. Measuring 102mm by 147mm, the IB956 runs on 12V~24V wide-range DC power and works with both Windows® 10 and Linux Ubuntu operating systems.

 

The high-performance single board computer is designed with quad-display support, allowing customers to multitask across multiple displays without additional components. Heat dissipation is accomplished through the optional heatsink with fan and heat spreader for installation on the bottom layer and seamless system integration, shrinking time to market and reducing total cost of ownership.
