3 Detailed Description
3.1 Power Supply / UPS
The CB3063 needs an external power supply of 24V (will tolerate 20V-30V). This input is galvanically
isolated from the board's internal circuitry. It is also used for charging any UPS device that may be
present. This UPS device is either capacitor-based or connected externally as a Pb-battery pack. With a
UPS installed and charged, the module can stay operational even when a power failure occurs. A
capacitor-based UPS can keep the board alive only for a few seconds while a Pb-battery typically allows
for several minutes of continued operation. The exact amount of time is hard to predict as it also depends
on factors such as the UPS' charge level at the time of the power failure, CPU/chipset power consumption
etc. Generally, a Pb-battery needs a much longer time to reach full charge level compared to a
capacitor-based UPS.
3.2 CPU
The moth erboard employs an Intel® Atom™ processor of the E3800 family, which is a system-on-chip
(SoC) being optimized for low power consumption while at the same time providing state-of-the-art
computing performance.
The processors include a second level cache of 512 KByte. They also offer many features known from
the desktop range such as MMX2, serial number, loadable microcode etc.
The Atom™ CPU operates in an extended range of thermal conditions and therefore is capable for use
in industrial systems.
3.3 SUPS
Optionally the CB3063 can be equipped with a plug-in SUPS, which can keep the board alive for a few
seconds in case of power failure or voltage fluctuation. The exact amount of time is hard to predict as it
also depends on factors such as the SUPS' capacitors and the boards' power consumption etc. The
capacitors size is only limited by the required space.
3.4 Memory
There is one conventional SO-DIMM204 socket available to equip the board with memory. For technical
and mechanical reasons it is possible that particular memory modules cannot be employed. Please ask
your sales representative for recommended memory modules.
With currently available SO-DIMM204 modules a memory extension up to 8 GByte is possible
(DDR3L-1333).

OTICE
For optimal driver compatibility we recommend the use of a Microsoft® Windows® 8 operating system.
