Wide Temperature Assurance Service (WiTAS) WideTemperatureAssuranceService(WiTAS) Service for Wide Temperature Embedded Computing Applications of embedded computing systems continue to improve the quality and convenience of our lives. As the world population increases, there are greater demands on resources and the need for automation and computing capability in remote regions will arise. To address the requirement for operating in extreme environments, computer platforms must follow design methodologies for wide temperature range operation. In addition, testing and product qualification must follow more stringent criteria to assure continuous operation. As the core of any embedded system, the CPU board plays perhaps the most critical role and therefore, requires careful design and validation for wide temperature production. AAEON has designed and manufactured quality embedded products for over two decades. The accumulated experience in all aspects of the embedded electronics market gives AAEON a strong position in the development of wide temperature CPU boards and systems. AAEON’s WiTAS (Wide Temperature Assurance Service) program produces boards in two temperature range categories: -20°C to 70°C (-4°F ~ 158°F) = WiTAS 1 -40°C to 85°C (-40°F ~ 185°F) = WiTAS 2 Processes for WiTAS Production WiTAS 1 Production WiTAS 2 Production Boards that pass the thermal tests of -20°C to 70°C (-4°F ~ 158°F) are given a WiTAS 1 designation and boards that endure the thermal of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F ~ 185°F) are assigned a WiTAS 2 designation, as AAEON’s special service assurance of wide temperature durability and reliability. This, in conjunction with the use of durable components throughout the duration of the testing, allows AAEON to enhance the longevity of its boards and systems. Application Applications for WiTAS CPU boards can be found in most industries and markets: • • Transportation: Train, Ship, Airplane and Traffic Surveillance System • • Factory Automation: Power Station, Steel Manufacturer • • Military: Field Electronic Devices, Controller • • Energy: Windmill Controller, Solar Energy Controller • • Environmental: Climate, Water, Air Quality • • Anti-dust, Fanless Application: Medical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Factory Wide Temperature Screen Test (-20ºC to 70ºC) Full Function Test Assembled CPU Board Power-On Function Test WiTAS 1 Verified Products OK Wide Temperature Screen Test (-40ºC to 85ºC) Full Function Test Assembled CPU Board Power-On Function Test WiTAS 2 Verified Products OK -40ºC 85ºC -20ºC 70ºC Wide Temperature Screen Test (-20ºC to 70ºC) Full Function Test Assembled CPU Board Power-On Function Test WiTAS 1 Verified Products OK Wide Temperature Screen Test (-40ºC to 85ºC) Full Function Test Assembled CPU Board Power-On Function Test WiTAS 2 Verified Products OK -40ºC 85ºC -20ºC 70ºC
