hen developing a new medical computer system as an embedded IPC or a standalone unit, engineers
are faced with the challenge of selecting the right components for the motherboard, processor, memory and power supply, which involves many criteria, such as computing and graphics performance, reliability, safety, connectivity, energy effi ciency, thermal management, standards compliance, long-term availability, product support, and more.
One-stop solutions With its proven Power+Board bundles, Bicker Elektronik from Germany off ers a unique service for system developers of IPC and embedded systems. As part of extensive in-house laboratory tests, the perfect matching combinations of high- quality power supplies and motherboards from AAEON, ASRock, Avalue, Fujitsu and Perfectron is ensured. Currently there are 12 form-factors available. Additionally, customers will receive industrial-grade processors, storage solutions with fi xed BOM, expansion cards and mass-storage devices – including personal design-in advice and support. Thus, all the core components of a medical computer system can be conveniently and safely obtained from a single source. This way, with pre-confi gured and tested bundle solutions, customers can save a lot of time and money in the process of product qualifi cation. In addition, time to market can be signifi cantly shortened.
Power+Board bundles The new AAEON industrial Mini-ITX mainboards MIX-Q370D1 and MIX- Q370A1 for 8th-generation Intel Core processors – codenamed ‘Coff ee Lake’ – off er greater performance, quality and compactness. With the Q370 Express chipset, coupled with up to six processor cores, fast DDR4 RAM and advanced graphics engines, the new motherboards are ideal for high-performance computing applications in the medical fi eld. The connection of fast SSD/Flash

memory is implemented via m.2 PCIe Gen3x4. Numerous I/O interfaces, including USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Intel Gigabit LAN, and several graphics outputs ensure extensive connectivity. The two robust industrial motherboards are also suitable for 24/7 continuous operation in temperatures between 0°C and 60°C. The diff erences between the two boards are in the specifi c interface equipment and type of power supply. Bicker Elektronik off ers bundles with suitable and tested power supplies approved to international medical safety standards:
The MIX-Q370A1 board off ers ATX power supply (+3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, +5Vsb) and is bundled with the newly- introduced medical PC power supplies MHG2-5300G-B1 (300W), MHG2-5400G-B1 (400W) or MHG2-5500G-B1 (500W), also available from Bicker Elektronik. For international use, the energy-effi cient switch-mode power supplies have a wide-range input (90-264VAC), with active power factor correction (PFC). They comply with the EN/UL/cUL 60601-1 (Edition 3.1) and CCC standards. No base load is required at the outputs, so latest generation motherboards with special power saving modes are supplied safely. The temperature-controlled fan ensures quiet operation.
MIX-Q370D1 is prepared for single DC power supply (+12V) and is available bundled with medical power supplies BEO-2012M(C) (200W) or BEO-3012M(C) (300W). The energy-effi cient and robust BEO power supply design features effi ciency to 94%. For international use, the AC/DC switch-mode power supplies have a wide-range input with active PFC and safety approvals IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 (Edition 3.1), EN 60601-1:2006+A1:2013 (Edition 3.1), ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005 (3rd Edition), as well as classifi cation 2xMOPP for patient contact (Means Of Patient Protection). Bicker Elektronik also off ers a
comprehensive range of external AC/ DC desktop adapters with medical approval, such as BET-1012M (100W). The bundled motherboard MIX-Q370D1 has three independent displays that can be controlled simultaneously.
For connecting m.2 storage media, the MIX-Q370D1 supports the latest PCIe standard with up to four lanes and Intel NVMe M.2 SSD.
