Wide Temperature Embedded Computing

Applications of embedded computing systems continue to improve the quality and convenience of our lives. As the global population
increases, there are greater demands on resources, and the need for automation and computing capability in remote regions will grow. To
address a demand for computers that operate in extreme environments, platforms must follow design methodologies for wide temperature
range use. In addition, testing and product qualification must follow more stringent criteria to assure continuous operation. As the core of
any embedded system, the CPU board plays perhaps the most critical role and, therefore, requires careful design and validation for wide
temperature capabilities.
AAEON has been designing and manufacturing quality embedding products for over two decades. Our accumulated experience in all aspects
of the embedded electronics market puts us in a strong position to develop wide temperature CPU boards and systems.
AAEON’s WiTAS (Wide Temperature Assurance Service) program produces boards in two temperature range categories:

-20°C to 70°C (-4°F ~ 158°F) = WiTAS 1 -40ºC 85ºC OK
-40°C to 85°C (-40°F ~ 185°F) = WiTAS 2

Boards that pass -20°C to 70°C (-4°F ~ 158°F) thermal tests are given a WiTAS 1 designation, and boards that endure -40°C to 85°C
(-40°F ~ 185°F) tests are assigned a WiTAS 2 designation, as part of AAEON’s special service assurance of wide temperature durability and

reliability. This, in conjunction with the use of durable components throughout the duration of testing, allows AAEON to enhance the longevity
of its boards and systems.
