ETXexpress modules feature S5 Eco power-off state

According to the company, customers will benefit from a greater performance range and scalability in its COM Express-compliant (basic form factor, pin-out type two) ETXexpress product line.

Equipped with the Mobile Intel GM45 Express chipset and Intel Core2 Duo T9400 processor, the new version of the Kontron ETXexpress-PC brings high processing power to the company's COM Express basic form-factor offering.

Kontron said its COM Express module is equipped with Intel Core2 Duo P8400 processor and combines power with cost-efficiency.

The ETXexpress-PC module SKU, based on the Mobile Intel GL40 Express chipset and 2.0GHz Intel Celeron M Processor M575, is said to be ideal for cost-sensitive applications.

All three new modules feature Kontron's efficient power-off S5 Eco state.

The S5 Eco state replaces the conventional S5 mode to reduce the module's power consumption to less than 1mA, which is a reduction by at least factor 200.

Due to its wide chipset and processor range, the expanded family of Kontron ETXexpress-PC computer-on-modules now supports even better the implementation of COTS solutions.

Kontron ETXexpress-PC computer-on-modules offer support for up to 8GB DDR3 system memory and provide an extensive range of I/Os via the COM Express pin-out type two connector: one PCI Express Graphics (PEG), five PCI Express x1, four Serial ATA with Raid 0, 1, 5, 10 functionality, one PATA, and eight USB 2.0 ports along with Gigabit Ethernet and Intel High Definition Audio.

Via the multiplexed PEG pin-out, dual SDVO delivers additional video signals for HDMI and Displayport monitor outputs.

There is also continued support for non-PCI Express legacy components such as plug-in cards via the PCI 2.1 interface.

The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2) makes the Kontron ETXexpress-PC suitable for data-sensitive applications.

The 8.5-18V wide-range power for simplified power distribution rounds off the feature set.
