1 Introduction
1.1 Pico-ITX Concept
The Pico-ITX form factor provides system designers and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a
footprint of 100mm x 72mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems. Due to its small size,
the Pico-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 be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Pico-ITX boards are equipped with various
interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.
1.2 conga-PA5
The conga-PA5 is a Single Board Computer design based on the Pico-ITX specification. The conga-PA5 SBC features the Intel 5th generation
Atom, Celeron and Pentium 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 onboard LPDDR4 memory up to 2400 MT/s, 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-PA5 SBC provides manufacturers and system designers with the opportunity
to design compact systems for space restricted areas.
The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-PA5 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efficient, performance-
oriented embedded systems.

Note
The CPU was stressed to its maximum workload with the Intel®Thermal Analysis Tool

Copyright © 2017 congatec AG PA50m01 15/46
Table 7 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.
The CPU was stressed to its maximum frequency.
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.
Note
1. The fan and SATA drives were powered externally.
2. All other peripherals except the LCD monitor were disconnected before measurement.

Note
1. Do not use the CMOS battery power consumption values listed above to calculate CMOS battery lifetime.
2. Measure the CMOS battery power consumption in your customer specific application in worst case conditions (for example, during high
temperature and high battery voltage).
3. 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.
4. We recommend to always have a CMOS battery present when operating the conga-PA5.

4 Cooling Solution
congatec AG offers cooling solutions for the lidded (industrial) and open silicon (commercial) conga-PA5 variants:
•Passive cooling solutions (CSP)
•Heatspreader (HSP)
The dimensions of the cooling solutions are shown below. All measurements are in millimeters. The recommended torque for heatspreader
screws is 0.3 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/ISO specifications.
The heatspreader acts as a thermal coupling device to the module and is thermally coupled to the CPU via a thermal gap filler. On some
modules, it may also be thermally coupled to other heat generating components with the use of additional thermal gap fillers.
Although the heatspreader is the thermal interface where most of the heat generated by the module is dissipated, it is not to be considered
as a heatsink. It has been designed as a thermal interface between the module and the application specific thermal solution. The application
specific thermal solution may use heatsinks with fans, and/or heat pipes, which can be attached to the heatspreader. Some thermal solutions
may also require that the heatspreader is attached directly to the systems chassis thereby using the whole chassis as a heat dissipater.
Note
The gap pad material used on all heatspreaders contains silicon oil that can seep out over time depending on the environmental conditions
it is subjected to. For more information about this subject, contact your local congatec sales representative and request the gap pad material
manufacturer’s specification.
Caution
The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your
application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating
temperature of the board is maintained at all times. This may require additional cooling components for your final application’s thermal
solution.
For adequate heat dissipation, use the mounting holes on the cooling solution to attach it to the board. Apply thread-locking fluid on the
screws if the cooling solution is used in a high shock and/or vibration environment. To prevent the standoff from stripping or cross-threading,
use non-threaded carrier board standoffs to mount threaded cooling solutions.
For applications that require vertically-mounted cooling solution, use only coolers 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 specified for the screws. Doing so may damage
the board.
