Intel® Atom™ Processor Z5xx Series

The Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series provides a variety of design options with 2.0 or 2.2 watts thermal design power (TDP), two package sizes, and industrial as well as commercial temperature ranges. Based on 45nm Hi-k next generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, these processors implement ground-breaking power management techniques making them ideal for thermally constrained and fanless embedded applications.

Featuring embedded lifecycle support, the Intel Atom processors are ideal for many embedded market segments such as in-vehicle infotainment, medical, retail and transaction solutions (kiosks, point-of-service terminals), gaming and industrial control and automation. It remains software compatible with previous 32-bit Intel® architecture and complementary silicon.

These single-core processors are validated with the Intel® System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W, which integrates a graphics memory controller hub and an I/O controller hub into one package. This low-power platform has a combined thermal design power under five watts.
