Processor

This product features the iMX6UL ARM Cortex-A7 processor – a high-performance, ultra-efficient processor family featuring an advanced implementation of a single Arm® Cortex®-A7 core, which operates at speeds up to 696 MHz. The i.MX 6UltraLite applications processor includes an integrated power management module that reduces the complexity of the external power supply and simplifies power sequencing.

Display and Touchscreen

The EPC-A7-70HB-C has a 7’’ 5-point capacitive touch screen, with a 1024×600 resolution, that offers a stable and accurate control over the device.

The HMI connector on the back of the panel allows the device to work in a double monitor configuration.

Capacitive touchscreens offer great image clarity. They are also very durable and resistant to environmental contaminants like dust and water. These types of screens work best with either a finger or a stylus with a conductive tip.
