ADLINK SBC35 Series — 3.5″ Single Board Computers for Edge AI and Rugged Embedded Control

Specifications

Overview

The ADLINK SBC35 Series is a family of 3.5″ single board computers that shares one 146 × 102 mm footprint across four distinct performance tiers, letting OEMs move a single mechanical and enclosure design from low-power industrial control up to NPU-accelerated edge inference without a board redesign. Every model carries the same mounting pattern, the same SBC-FM adaptive function-module connector and the same display and expansion topology.

SBC35-MTL is the AI tier. It pairs an Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 1) processor with the integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU, up to 96 GB of DDR5 across two SODIMM sockets, dual 2.5GbE LAN and — importantly for vision work — MIPI-CSI camera interfaces (2 × CSI-2 x4) that allow AI cameras to attach directly instead of consuming a USB or Ethernet port. It is purpose-built for autonomous mobile robots, AI inspection, smart retail and robotics.

SBC35-ASL is the rugged tier. Based on the energy-efficient Intel® Atom® x7000RE series (x7835RE / x7433RE / x7211RE), it runs fanless across a −40°C to +85°C operating range and carries legacy I/O that field installations still demand: four COM ports, 8-bit DI/DO and dual 1GbE. Typical deployments are EV chargers, outdoor kiosks, transportation systems and industrial automation cabinets.

SBC35-RPL covers general-purpose industrial work with 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Celeron® options plus up to 64 GB of DDR5 at 4800 MHz, while SBC35-ALN provides a cost-optimised Intel® N97 entry point. All four variants are qualified with ADLINK’s SBC-FM modules, which expose reserved PCIe, USB and LPC/eSPI signals over a flat FPC cable so I/O can be customised with ready-made modules or a customer-designed board built from ADLINK’s design guide.

For buyers, the SBC35 Series is a long-lifecycle industrial platform rather than a consumer board: TPM 2.0 options, a documented thermal envelope, and a single expansion architecture that carries from pilot quantities into volume production.

Key Benefits

One footprint, four performance tiers — design the enclosure once and scale from Atom® to Core™ Ultra with NPU. NPU-accelerated edge inference on SBC35-MTL with Intel® AI Boost. Fanless −40°C to +85°C operation on SBC35-ASL for outdoor and vehicle-mounted deployments. Direct MIPI-CSI camera attachment removes USB/Ethernet capture bottlenecks in vision systems. SBC-FM adaptive expansion delivers customisable I/O without a full board spin. Up to 96 GB DDR5 supports on-device models that would otherwise need a separate inference box.

Applications

Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and industrial robotics; AI-powered visual inspection and machine vision; EV charging stations and outdoor kiosks; transportation and rolling-stock subsystems; industrial automation and machine control; smart retail and digital signage; medical and laboratory instrumentation; building and factory IoT edge gateways.
