Future-proof motherboard solution for demanding applications

Equipped with the latest 12th, 13th and 14th generation Intel Core processors and a comprehensive range of modern interfaces, Kontron is launching the K3836-Q/R mITX motherboard as the successor to the D3633-S, available now from Rutronik. The new motherboard in the compact Mini-ITX form factor is developed and manufactured in Germany. Two different chipset versions are available: The K3836-R is based on the high-performance Intel R680E chipset with ECC support and real-time capability for mission-critical applications and the K3836-Q on the equally powerful Intel Q670E chipset. With a minimum lifespan of seven years and preparation for the next generation of Intel processors, the motherboard is a future-proof solution. Target applications include industrial automation, robotics, medical diagnostics, digital signage, infotainment, and POS/POI systems.

The motherboard is designed and approved for 24/7 continuous operation. It offers customisable CPU performance through the Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processor series for entry-level and high-quality IPCs. Also, the motherboard is ideal for improved industrial climate conditions up to 60C. Two Intel LAN (1GbE and 2.5GbE) with teaming, TSN and iAMT support ensure exceptionally stable and reliable connectivity.

Further connection options are a PCIe x16 Gen5 expansion slot, 13 USB ports (including USB Type-C), M.2 Key-M and Key-E slots, up to four Display Port interfaces for graphics at resolutions up to 8K, eDP and LVDS support, four COM (RS242) and SATA ports, and SATA/NVME RAID support.

Support for DDR5-4800/5600 SODIMMs with up to 96GB and a x16 slot with bifurcation support (2x PCIe x8 Gen5) allow flexible use.

Examples of use include industrial PCs, medical/laboratory equipment, self-service terminals, and imaging and entertainment applications.
