Overview

The ADLINK NuPRO-A331 is a PICMG 1.0 Single Board 
Computer (SBC) supporting the next-generation Intel® Core™ 
i7/i5/i3 and Pentium® processors in LGA1156 package to deliver a 
scalable high performance platform for a wide array of industrial 
applications. The NuPRO-A331 supports 32nm and 45nm process 
CPUs at up to 3.33GHz with integrated graphics and memory 
controllers, Direct Media Interface (DMI) and Flexible Display 
Interface (FDI) connectivity to the Intel® Q57 Express Chipset. 
Dual-channel DDR3 1066/1333 MHz memory is supported up to a 
maximum of 8GB in two DIMM slots.

These advanced features, coupled with dual PCI Express®-based 
Gigabit Ethernet, PCI

 Express

 Mini Card slot and diverse I/O and 

storage make the NuPRO-A331 ideal for instrumentation and 
automation control applications.
