Intel’s Atom NUC offers exceptionally good value computing, both for initial purchase and ongoing running costs. It has both HDMI and VGA graphics outputs running at 400 MHz. Gigabit Ethernet, 2 x USB 2.0 and 1 x USB 3.0 ports are all included.

Think you know what small can do? Think again.

From school and university computer labs to enterprise, government, and private organisations, the Intel NUC is driving new models of computing in small spaces.The Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE kit, built with an Intel Atom processor for intelligent systems, is a pint-sized powerhouse for value-conscious businesses and organisations.

This low-cost, low-power solution introduces many firsts to the Intel NUC form-factor: fanless thermal solution for the ultimate silence and reliability, onboard flash storage for small-footprint software solutions, internal flat panel display connectivity for built-in screens, VGA port for monitor compatibility in legacy installations, serial ports for peripherals requiring the robustness of hardware handshaking, watchdog timer for resilient system availability, and also I2C and PWM signals for interfacing with sensors and other embedded devices enabling the Internet of Things. And with its three year supply availability, the Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE will be around to support long development and production ramp cycles.

Intended market

The UltraNUC Atom is designed to be a low-end budget PC designed for simple tasks such as running basic office software, email and light Internet use. It is not a high performance machine, as you would expect at this price point.

Designed with thin-client computing in mind

With its vertical industrial design and support for Linux and Windows Embedded operating systems, this Intel NUC was designed as the essential building block to power the thin-client market. A fanless kit with flash storage built-in, USB3 and audio headset support, this Intel NUC fits right at home in schools, call centres and other locations with a large installed base of VGA monitors. Connectivity to HDMI or DVI displays is also supported, and a VESA mount is included for VESA-mounted All-in-One PC installation. The Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE exceeds at providing the right performance and connectivity for thin-client solutions at a price every school can afford.

Also ideal for embedded applications

The new Intel NUC board and kit are powered by the Intel Atom processor E3815, providing an ideal combination of power consumption, performance, affordability, and software compatibility to drive light digital signage, point-of-sale, and kiosk solutions, along with other usages. With 4 GB of eMMC storage built-in, many embedded applications will benefit from a lower overall system-level BOM cost. Digital signage solutions displaying centralised content can now be more affordable than ever, with 2.5” SATA drive access always an option should local content be needed on low-cost, high-capacity storage.

Inexpensive kiosks can now be built as highly compact and reliable systems with no moving parts, thanks to eDP touch-panel display support, a fanless thermal solution and built-in storage capabilities. Incidentally, high availability resilience can also be enabled for these and other unattended solutions via the built-in watchdog timer, providing priceless protection against costly and embarrassing downtimes.

For retail checkout line solutions with serial barcode readers and weight scale support, small and low-cost point-of-sale terminals can now be assembled with the new Intel NUC board and chassis from the very innovative Intel NUC ecosystem. Last, but certainly not least, the Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE provides a discrete Intel Trusted Platform Module device onboard for hardware-based data encryption — a must-have for applications where confidential information is at stake. Embedded possibilities are endless with the Intel NUC kit DE3815TYKHE — just add RAM!
