What is EPIC?

EPIC stands for embedded platform for industrial computing. The size of the EPIC form factor is larger than the PC104 yet smaller than the EBX form factor, in fact it is 115 x 165mm. As technology progresses, engineers strive to add more functionality and performance to single board computers requiring the least amount of space, the EPIC form factor helps to accomplish this goal. It provides embedded systems manufacturers who require faster CPUs and or more I/O than on PC104 a broadly supported platform to work with. Another key goal was to develop a board that could provide a bridge from current technology into the future, in other words it would be able to support PCI express, ExpressCard and other technologies as they become available. In order to support a wide variety of I/O, EPIC also supports the PC104 and PC104 plus expansions. The CPUs most widely supported on the EPIC form factor range from the ultra low voltage (ULV) Celeron M to the Pentium M processors. The EPIC form factor can also be offered in a fanless solution. 

EPIC is most commonly utilized by applications such as data acquisition, video processing, telecommunications, networking, motion control plus, field wiring termination, even I/O circuit protection and many others.
