1 Introduction

1.1 COM Express™ Concept

COM Express™ is an open industry standard deﬁned speciﬁcally for COMs (computer on modules). Its creation makes it possible to smoothly

transition from legacy interfaces to the newest technologies available today.

A Computer On Module integrates all the core components and standard I/O interfaces of a common PC onto an application speciﬁc carrier

board. The key advantage of the COM in the embedded computer industries is that all the highly integrated, high speed components such as

CPU, chipsets and memory are combined on a small module form factor for easy adaptation into different applications across multiple market

segments.

COM Express™ modules have standardized form factors and speciﬁed pinouts on the two system connectors that remain the same regardless

of the vendor. The COM Express™ module reﬂects the functional requirements for a wide range of embedded applications. These functions

include, but are not limited to, PCI Express, PCI, Graphics, High Deﬁnition Audio, parallel ATA, serial ATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB ports.

Two ruggedized, shielded connectors provide the carrier board interface and carry all the I/O signals to and from the COM Express™ module.

Carrier board designers can use as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed necessary. The carrier board can therefore provide all

the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application speciﬁc peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a

dense and optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly, COM Express™

modules are scalable, which means once an application has been created there is the ability to diversify the product range through the use

of different performance class or form factor size modules. Simply unplug one module and replace it with another; no redesign is necessary.

1.2 conga-IT6/COMe

The conga-IT6/COMe carrier board is based on the Mini-ITX form factor and complies with COM Express™ Carrier Design Guide 2.0

speciﬁcation. The carrier board supports COM Express™ Type 6 compact and basic format modules.

The conga-IT6/COMe provides most of the functional requirements for any application. These functions include, but are not limited to a rich

complement of contemporary high bandwidth serial interfaces such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 3.0, and Gigabit Ethernet.
