COM Express module with Core 2 Duo processor

22 July 2009 Computer/Embedded Technology

The new Kontron microETXexpress-PC combines Intel Core2 Duo processor performance with a small COM Express Pinout Type 2 compatible computer-on-module (COM).

The computer is based on the high-performance and low-power Core 2 Duo processor up to 1,86 GHz and Intel mobile GS45 express chipset for SFF (small form factor) platforms. It packs up to 4 GB of DDR3 SO-DIMM with a FSB of up to 1066 MHz and 6 MB of L2 cache on a compact COM form factor that measures just 95 x 95 mm. Applications that are particularly power sensitive will benefit from the option of the 1,2 GHz Celeron processor that offers an enhanced performance-per-watt ratio for fanless designs.

The module’s feature set includes state-of-the-art system security via the Intel Trusted Execution Technology and an integrated trusted platform module – TPM 1.2 – for software and data protection. For graphics and video oriented applications, the microETXexpress-PC features the Intel graphics media accelerator (GMA X4500). With DirectX 10, PS 4.0 and DVMT 5.0, it supports the latest APIs for demanding 2D and 3D applications. Dual independent displays with resolutions up to 1080p/i are supported, as is 18/24 bit LVDS single or dual-channel graphic performance with 1024 MB of graphic memory, an integrated MPEG2 decoder and H.264. It also supports the latest graphics interfaces such as HDMI and DisplayPort.

Integrated HDCP 1.2 and Intel High Definition Audio allow for HDMI compliant applications to be implemented. If greater graphics performance is required, the PEG pinout can be used with application-specific expansion cards. The Kontron microETXexpress-PC also offers extensive I/O flexibility with 5x PCI Express x1, 3x SerialATA, 1x PATA and 8x USB 2.0 ports along with Gigabit Ethernet. The bootable PATA enables easy integration of Flash storage for operating systems.
