1 Introduction
1.1 Mini-ITX Concept
The Mini-ITX form factor provides engineers and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a footprint
of 170mm x 170mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems. Due to its small size, the Mini-
ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge variety of
product development options—from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems. This helps to
reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.
Additionally, the boards can also be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Mini-ITX boards are equipped with
various interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 3.0/2.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.
1.2 conga-IA5
The conga-IA5 is a Single Board Computer design based on the Thin Mini-ITX specification. The conga-IA5 SBC features the Intel®Apollo Lake
processors. With maximum 12 W TDP processors, the SBC offers Ultra-Low-Power boards with high computing performance and outstanding
graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports dual channel DDR3L up to 1866 MT/s for a maximum system memory capacity of 8 GB, multiple I/O
interfaces, up to three independent displays and various congatec embedded features.
With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-IA5 SBC provides manufacturers and enthusiasts with the opportunity to
design compact systems for space restricted areas. With appropriate I/O shield, the same conga-IA5 SBC can be used in either a Thin Mini-ITX
or a Mini-ITX design.
The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-IA5 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efficient, performance-oriented
embedded systems.

Depending on your BIOS settings, the conga-IA5 may start immediately after power is supplied.
Caution
The absolute maximum rating of the input voltage is 36 volts. Do not exceed this rating or expose the conga-IA5 to the absolute maximum
voltage for a prolonged time. Doing so may damage the system or affect system reliability.
2.5 Power Consumption
The power consumption values were measured with the following setup:
• conga-IA5
• conga-IA5 cooling solution
• Microsoft®Windows®10 (64-bit)
Note
The CPU was stressed to its maximum workload with the Intel®Thermal Analysis Tool.

Table 8 Measurement Description
The power consumption values were recorded during the following system states:
System State Description Comment
S0: Minimum value Lowest frequency mode (LFM) with minimum core voltage during
desktop idle.
S0: Maximum value Highest frequency mode (HFM/Turbo Boost). The CPU was stressed to its maximum frequency.
S0: Peak value Highest current spike during the measurement of “S0: Maximum
value”. This state shows the peak value during runtime.
Consider this value when designing the system’s power supply to
ensure that sufficient power is supplied during worst case scenarios.
S3 SBC is powered by VCC_5V_SBY.
S5 SBC is powered by VCC_5V_SBY.
Note
The fan and SATA drives were powered externally. All other peripherals, except the LCD monitor, were disconnected before measurement.

RTC @ Voltage Current
-10oC 3V DC 2.05 µA
20oC 3V DC 2.94 µA

Note
Do not use the CMOS battery power consumption values listed above to calculate CMOS battery lifetime.
Measure the CMOS battery power consumption in your customer specific application in worst case conditions (for example, during high
temperature and high battery voltage).
Consider also the self-discharge of the battery when calculating the lifetime of the CMOS battery. For more information, refer to application
note AN9_RTC_Battery_Lifetime.pdf on congatec AG website at www.congatec.com/support/application-notes.
We recommend to always have a CMOS battery present when operating the conga-IA5.
2.7 Environmental Specifications
Temperature (commercial variants) Operation: 0° to 60°C Storage: -20° to +80°C
Temperature (industrial variants) Operation: -40° to 85°C Storage: -40° to +85°C
Humidity Operation: 10% to 90% Storage: 5% to 95%
Caution
The above operating temperatures must be strictly adhered to at all times. When using a congatec heatspreader, the maximum operating
temperature refers to any measurable spot on the heatspreader’s surface.
Humidity specifications are for non-condensing conditions.

4 Cooling Solution
The conga-IA5 SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and outstanding graphics. Due to its low power
consumption, the SBC generates less heat and therefore requires less active cooling, allowing the use of quieter, lower profile coolers that are
better suited to small form factor systems.
Nonetheless, all electronics contain semiconductor devices which have operating temperature ranges that should be adhered to. This means
that for reliable operation, the thermal design of the conga-IA5 must be carefully considered. For this reason, it is imperative to provide
sufficient air flow to each of the components, to ensure the specified operating temperature of the conga-IA5 is maintained.
congatec AG offers the following cooling options for the conga-IA5:
• A congatec passive cooling solution for lidless die Celeron®and Pentium®(PN: 052830) or lidded die Atom™ (PN: 052831) variants in
combination with the conga-IA5 retention frame (PN: 052254). This cooling solution complies with the Thin Mini-ITX height specification
and features a Hi-Flow 225UT pressure sensitive, phase change thermal interface. Refer to section 4.2 “CSP Dimensions” for the dimensions
of the congatec heatspreaders.
• The use of a custom cooling solution in combination with the conga-IA5 retention frame.
Note
When a passive cooling is used, the end user must ensure that adequate air flow is maintained.

4.1 Cooling Installation
Assembly Instruction:
• Flip over the SBC and locate the position of the CPU.
• Place retention frame on the bottom side of the board with insulating foil facing the PCB and standoffs inserted to PCB's mounting holes.
• Remove the CSP's protection pull tab foil from the phase changer and carefully place the CSP to the CPU.
• Hold the CSP with one hand so that it does not tilt while tightening the screws.
• Slightly tighten each of the 4 screws so that they hold the CSP in place. To do so, start with one screw and then slightly tighten the other
screws in a crossover pattern. All the while keep holding the cooling adapter straight with one hand.
• Now you can fully tighten the screws. Once again start with one and then continue to tighten the other screws in a crossover pattern. All
the while keep holding the cooling adapter straight with one hand.
Caution
For adequate heat dissipation, follow the assembly instruction above. Apply thread-locking fluid on the screws if the CSP is used in a high
shock and/or vibration environment.
For applications that require vertically-mounted CSP, use only cooling solution that secure the thermal stacks with fixing post. Without the
fixing post feature, the thermal stacks may move.
Also, do not exceed the maximum torque specification for the cooling solution screws. Doing so may damage the SBC.
