DTX (form factor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Computer case form factors |
The DTX form factor was announced to be in development by AMD on January 10, 2007. It is for small form factor PCs (especially for HTPCs) with dimension of 200 mm by 244 mm,[1] AMD stated that the DTX form factor is an open standard, and is backward compatible with ATX form factor cases. There also present a variant named Mini-DTX which is smaller in PCB size of 200 mm by 170 mm.[1]
[edit] Benefits
There are several benefits DTX provides to reduce production costs.[2]
- DTX, which will allow up to four motherboards – for low cost – per standard printed circuit board manufacturing panel sizes
- Mini-DTX, which will allow up to six motherboards – for low cost – per standard printed circuit board manufacturing panel sizes
- DTX motherboards can be manufactured in as few as four-layers of printed circuit board wiring for motherboard cost savings
- By leveraging backward-compatibility with ATX infrastructure, vendors may gain a low-cost DTX product offering with little development expense
