Nuremberg, Germany – MEN Mikro Elektronik announces the release of the BC50M box computer based on the latest AMD Embedded G-Series Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). The robust and maintenance-free BC50M (formerly called the BC1) is based on an innovative modular design that offers flexible display and I/O solutions with optimal performance for mobile applications such as use in trains, commercial vehicles, airplanes, and mobile machines.
Leading-Edge Graphics for Buses and Railway
As a new option the BC50M can be equipped with the new AMD Embedded G-T16R APU with a power consumption of just 2.3 watts on average or 4.5 watts thermal design power (TDP). This new system complements the existing 1.4 GHz dual-core AMD Embedded G-T48N APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 6310 Graphics standard system as well as the high-end AMD Embedded G-T65N APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 6320 Graphics version.
”The new AMD Embedded G-T16R APU targets very low power, small form factor and cost-sensitive designs while maintaining the computing and graphics performance embedded customers demand,” said Mike Greig, director, product marketing, AMD Embedded Solutions. “In combination with the robust and fanless design, MEN's box and display computers are an attractive solution, especially for temperature-critical, mobile graphics applications.”
If an application requires more or less graphical performance and power consumption, product designers can select any model of AMD Embedded G-Series APU for use in the system. Thanks to the modular design of the BC50M box computer also the interfaces can be customized individually with minimal overhead based on design requirements for even greater system flexibility.
The two DisplayPort channels of the standard BC50M box computer model support a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 pixels each with dedicated graphic cards and up to 1920x1200 pixels in combination with the AMD G-T16R APU and are accessible from the front panel. The antenna connectors for two PCI Express® MiniCard slots are also conveniently located on the front panel. And that's only one variant of many. Basically, up to 6 displays and a multitude of wireless functions with, e.g., 12 antenna connectors can be controlled.
The BC50M sets practically no limits for the user and its design and flexibility make it ideal for applications in mobile and safety-critical markets with high graphics demands.
Price starting from EUR 995 plus VAT for single units.

MEN Mikro Elektronik – Profile and Mission
Embedded Solutions - Rugged Computer Boards and Systems for Harsh, Mobile and Mission-Critical Environments
Since its foundation in 1982 our company has designed and manufactured failure-safe computer boards and systems for extreme environmental conditions in industrial and safety-critical embedded applications.
With over 250 employees and subsidiaries in France and the USA we have an annual revenue of more than 40 million Euros with an export share of about 40%. Customized solutions make for more than half of our revenue. Starting with the development phase, through the design-in and beyond we are at our customer's disposal with advice and support. In addition the standard product range includes far more than 100 different computer boards with x86 and PowerPC technology with the corresponding BIOS, BSP and driver software, manifold I/O boards and completely configured systems based on:
• CompactPCI, CompactPCI PlusIO, CompactPCI Serial and VMEbus SBCs
• Safe computer assemblies, certifiable according to DAL and SIL
• ESMexpress, ESMini and ESM Computer-On-Modules
• PMC, XMC and M-Modules as system-independent mezzanine I/O standards
• Box computers and display computers
• Network components, gateways and Ethernet switches
The consistent use of FPGA technology gives us high flexibility when configuring customized and standard products.
Our products are used worldwide as control, measuring, test or simulation computers in all kinds of embedded applications. These are extremely safety-critical mobile markets like railway, buses, agricultural machines, commercial vehicles, avionics and shipbuilding as well as other mission-critical applications in industrial automation and medical engineering. Computer systems in such applications are in operation up to 24 hours every day and often need to be available for 10 years and longer. Ideally no failures must occur to avoid costly downtimes of machines or danger to human life.
We are certified to EN 9100:2009 (aerospace), IRIS (railway), e1 (road traffic), ISO 9001:2008 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2005 (environmental management) in order to meet the severe quality requirements in critical applications and to offer our customers the highest quality in products and services while considering environmental protection and occupational safety on the basis of a recognized quality management system. Our aim is to constantly improve and to provide the highest technology and innovation level. Our business ethics are determined by the principles of the United Nations' Global Compact Initiative (human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption).
