Description
Product Introduction
Applied Materials 0190-24007 is a legacy equipment-control computing board associated with the MKS-TENTA CPCI-3720CF / AS03720-23 platform. Multiple independent parts listings identify the AMAT part as a CPU single-board computer, while SEMITECH specifically associates 0190-24007 with MKS-TENTA AS3720-23 REV 01.
This distinction matters during procurement. The part should not simply be treated as a generic CompactPCI CPU. In semiconductor equipment, the AMAT part number identifies the board within a particular equipment architecture, and the installed revision, firmware, memory configuration, and surrounding controller hardware can affect interchangeability.
A repair-service source specifically lists 0190-24007 as an SBC board used in an Applied Materials Centura eMax system, further supporting its role as an equipment-control computer rather than a general-purpose industrial SBC.

The identification above is based primarily on direct parts listings and equipment-service documentation. I would not publish processor speed, RAM capacity, storage, Ethernet configuration, CompactPCI slot implementation, power consumption, or operating-system information as fixed specifications without the actual board label or an OEM technical document.
In particular, one online description speculates about an Intel Celeron J1900 configuration and other computer features. Those claims are not sufficiently corroborated to treat them as guaranteed specifications for every 0190-24007 board.
Identification Cross-Check
There are several useful identifiers for procurement:
- AMAT: 0190-24007
- MKS-TENTA: AS03720-23
- Platform: CPCI-3720CF
- Reported board identifier: 51-31032-082
- Reported revision: REV001 / REV.B2
A SEMITECH listing identifies the AMAT part as MKS-TENTA AS3720-23 REV 01, while J316Gallery identifies the same AMAT number as CPU SINGLE BD COMP, MKS AS03720-23, CPCI-3720.
When buying a replacement, use the AMAT 0190-24007 number as the primary procurement key, then compare the MKS model, revision, PCB markings, connectors, and physical layout.
Application in Applied Materials Equipment
The strongest application evidence connects 0190-24007 with Applied Materials Centura eMax equipment. A specialized repair provider lists it as an SBC Board_Chamber for Centura eMax.
In practical maintenance work, this type of board can sit much higher in the control hierarchy than an ordinary I/O card. A failure may therefore appear as:
- Chamber-control computer failure
- Equipment boot failure
- Loss of chamber-level control
- Controller communication faults
- Failure of software or hardware initialization
- Intermittent equipment startup
- Unexpected controller resets
The correct troubleshooting sequence should begin by determining whether the failure follows the CPU board or originates elsewhere in the CompactPCI system.

Field Troubleshooting Procedure
1. Record the Installed Board
Before removing the board, document:
- AMAT part number
- MKS-TENTA model
- PCB revision
- Serial number
- Daughterboard or mezzanine configuration
- Connector condition
- Any visible jumpers or configuration switches
Photograph both sides of the board if possible.
2. Verify the Failure
Do not automatically condemn the CPU board because the equipment controller does not boot.
Check:
- Rack/backplane power
- System power supplies
- CompactPCI backplane connections
- Cooling/fan condition
- Adjacent cards
- Communication cabling
- External storage or boot media, where applicable
- Equipment controller alarms
A failed power rail can produce symptoms that look exactly like a failed SBC.
3. Inspect the Board
For a used 0190-24007, inspect:
- Edge connector contacts
- PCB contamination
- Corrosion
- Electrolytic capacitors
- Heat-damaged components
- Cracked solder joints
- Bent connector pins
- Signs of previous repair
- Missing components
- Oxidation around connectors
Do not clean a semiconductor-equipment CPU board aggressively without considering ESD and connector-plating requirements.
4. Confirm the Replacement Revision
A visually similar CPCI board is not automatically an acceptable substitute.
The following should match or be explicitly approved:
AMAT P/N → MKS model → board revision → equipment configuration → firmware/software environment.
This is particularly important for legacy Applied Materials equipment where a generic CompactPCI CPU may mechanically fit but fail to provide the expected system behavior.
QA and Incoming Inspection SOP
For an incoming 0190-24007 spare, use this minimum inspection sequence:
| Inspection | Acceptance Criteria |
|---|---|
| AMAT label | Clearly readable and matches 0190-24007 |
| MKS identification | Matches expected CPCI-3720CF / AS03720-23 configuration |
| PCB revision | Recorded and compared with installed unit |
| Connectors | No bent, missing, damaged, or heavily oxidized contacts |
| PCB | No visible burn, corrosion, contamination, or unauthorized modification |
| Components | No obvious mechanical damage |
| ESD packaging | Board received in appropriate ESD protection |
| Functional test | Preferably tested in a compatible AMAT equipment environment |
| Firmware/software | Record if supplied or known |
| Condition | New, New Surplus, Refurbished, Used Tested, or Untested clearly documented |
| Warranty | Written warranty period confirmed before purchase |
For a high-value spare, “powers on” is not an adequate functional test. The strongest acceptance test is operation in a compatible controller or validated test fixture.
⚠️ Veteran’s Tech Trap Guide
Trap 1 — Buying a generic CompactPCI CPU
Mechanical compatibility is not enough.
The 0190-24007 is an AMAT-configured equipment component. A generic cPCI processor may fit the slot and still be unusable by the equipment controller.
Trap 2 — Assuming every AS03720-23 is identical
The MKS model is useful for identification, but revision and configuration still matter.
Compare the actual PCB markings before approving a replacement.
Trap 3 — Treating online CPU specifications as guaranteed
Some reseller pages publish processor, memory, storage, or network specifications without citing an OEM document.
Do not copy those numbers directly into a purchasing specification.
For maintenance procurement, the AMAT part number and physical board revision take priority over speculative component-level specifications.
Trap 4 — Ignoring the backplane and power system
If multiple cards exhibit abnormal behavior simultaneously, investigate the CompactPCI infrastructure before replacing the CPU board.
A bad power supply or backplane connection can create several apparent CPU faults.
Spare-Inventory Strategy
For facilities operating legacy Applied Materials equipment, 0190-24007 should generally be treated as a high-criticality electronics spare if the installed tool depends on it for chamber control.
A practical stocking policy is:
- 1 installed
- 1 tested spare for a single critical tool
- Additional coverage where several tools use the same validated configuration
For a multi-tool fleet, consolidate inventory only after confirming that the same 0190-24007 revision is actually interchangeable across the affected tools.
When purchasing used inventory, prioritize:
- Exact AMAT P/N
- Matching MKS model
- Matching board revision
- Tested functional status
- Traceable photographs
- Written warranty
- ESD-controlled packaging
J316Gallery, for example, lists 0190-24007 as a pre-owned part and explicitly describes its unit as untested/as-is without warranty. This illustrates why “available” and “tested replacement” should never be treated as equivalent procurement categories.
New Surplus vs. Used vs. Refurbished
New Surplus
Potentially the preferred option when genuine and correctly stored. Verify:
- Original packaging
- Label condition
- PCB revision
- Storage history where available
- No evidence of prior installation
Used Tested
Often a practical option for legacy equipment, provided the supplier can demonstrate actual functional testing.
Refurbished
Ask exactly what refurbishment means. Component replacement, connector cleaning, rework, and functional testing are very different activities.
Untested / As-Is
Use only when repair capability and risk tolerance justify it. An untested CPU board should not be valued the same as a validated spare.

What should be verified for New Surplus inventory?
Confirm the AMAT 0190-24007 label, MKS AS03720-23 identification, PCB revision, physical condition, original packaging where available, and whether the unit has ever been installed.
Bottom Line
AMAT 0190-24007 is best identified as an Applied Materials CPU Single Board Computer based on the MKS-TENTA CPCI-3720CF / AS03720-23 platform. Multiple independent sources support this identification, including a parts listing that directly maps 0190-24007 to AS3720-23 REV 01 and a service listing associating it with Centura eMax chamber control.
For procurement, do not stop at the part number. Match the physical board revision and MKS identifier, and require functional-test evidence when the board is intended as a production-critical spare.
