Congatec expands COM Express range
Congatec
Conga-CAx
Congatec has introduced the Conga-CAx, which utilises the industrial temperature versions of the ultra-low power Intel Atom processor Z5xx series and the Intel System Controller Hub US15WPT.
The complete design of this compact (95mm x 95mm) COM Express compatible module is geared around low power consumption and the industrial temperature range.
All components used for this high-density design are specified for an ambient temperature range of -40 to +85C.
Typical power requirements for this module are less than 5W.
When combined with ACPI 3.0 battery management, ultra-mobile industrial applications are possible.
The Congatec In-Vehicle Infotainment starter kit is a typical application for the Conga-CAx as automotive applications always require extended temperature components.
Due to its small size, low power consumption and 2GByte onboard IDE flash disc, the Conga-CAx is also suitable for industrial applications such as PLC devices.
The Conga-CAx is available in two different CPU variants.
One version is powered by the Intel Atom processor Z510PT with 1.1GHz and 400MHz front side and memory bus.
The other version features the 1.33GHz Intel Atom processor Z520PT.
Both variants are equipped with 512k L2 cache and can access up to 1GByte of rugged onboard soldered DDR2 RAM.
The Intel System Controller Hub US15WPT has an integrated Intel Graphics Memory Accelerator 500 graphics engine.
This 3D capable onboard graphics utilises up to 256MByte frame buffer and supports DirectX 9.0E and OpenGL 2.0.
It also enhances video playback applications through the use of MPEG2 and MPEG4 hardware decoding.
Graphic output provides either one 24 bit LVDS channel or a single SDVO port.
The Conga-CAx also offers a rich connectivity feature set.
This includes up to two PCI Express x1 lanes, PCI Bus, EIDE interface, Gigabit Ethernet, high-definition audio and eight USB ports.
The onboard IDE flash drive provides up to 2GByte of mass storage and is also specified for the full industrial temperature range.
The Conga-CAx will be available mid-2009.
