Raven
Embedded Processing Unit
95 x 95 x 27 mm
(3.7 x 3.7 x 1.1”)
Overview
Highlights
The Raven is a compact, rugged board-level embedded computer.
It has been engineered and tested to meet the military and medical
industries’ evolving requirements to develop smaller, lighter,
and lower power embedded systems while adhering to stringent
regulatory standards. Approximately four inches square and one
inch thick, the Raven is a member of the VersaLogic family of
small, light, ultra-rugged embedded x86 computers. This embedded
computer, equipped with an Intel Atom E38xx “Bay Trail” processor,
is designed to withstand extreme temperature, impact, and vibration.

Available in single-, dual-, and quad-core versions, the Raven
provides great performance and I/O features, moderate power
consumption (6 to 8W typical depending on model), and a
compact package. The Raven provides compatibility with a broad
range of standard x86 application development tools for reduced
development time.
A wide input voltage range of 8 to 30 volts simplifies system power
supply requirements. The Raven is fully compatible with 12 or 24V
vehicle applications. In addition, Reverse Voltage Protection, and
Over Voltage Protection enhances field durability and reliability.

Product Data Sheet
Overview ...continued
Designed and tested for industrial temperature
(-40º to +85ºC) operation, the rugged Raven
also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for
shock and vibration. Soldered-on RAM and
latching SATA, Ethernet, power, and main I/O
connectors provide additional ruggedization
for use in harsh environments.
Raven is compatible with a variety of popular
x86 operating systems including Windows,
Windows Embedded, Linux, and VxWorks.
Product customization is available, even in low
OEM quantities. Options include conformal
coating, BGA underfill, BIOS / splash screen
configuration, application specific testing,
BOM revision locks, custom labeling, etc.
