System Block Diagram
The Qseven module implements the core processing features including: processor, memory, and system
physical interfaces via the southbridge.
Many of the Qseven modules are based on the mobile Intel Atom architecture (Z series processor + Poulsbo
/ SCH US15W chipset); shown in the block diagram below.
This document will generally refer to the features of the US15W.

Qseven Module Interface
Description
The processor and Chipset are implemented on the Qseven CPU module, which connects to the
Xtreme/SBC PCI-104 via a MXM connector. As previously mentioned, many of the existing Qseven
Modules use the Intel Atom mobile architecture, Z series processor + Poulsbo / SCH US15W chipset. The
Xtreme/SBC PCI-104 implements a subset of the Qseven features, as describe in the introduction.

Graphics
The availability of the graphics interfaces depends on the Qseven module selected.
US15W: The US15W chipset provides GMA 500 graphics sub-system and provides two display interfaces:
SDVO (serial digital video output) and LVDS (low voltage differential signalling). The resolution is
generated by the by GMA 500 is limited 1280x1024.
The configuration of either interface as the primary or secondary display depends on the Qseven module’s
BIOS capabilities and settings. Refer to the Qseven module’s documentation for more details.
VGA
Description
The VGA interface is implemented using the Qseven SDVO interface, with a SDVO to VGA converter
(Chrontel CH7317B) which supports resolutions up to 1920x1200; however actually resolutions depend on
the Qseven module.

LVDS
Description
The Xtreme/SBC PCI-104 provides dual 18 or 24 bit LVDS display channels via P7, which are connected
directly from the Qseven module . LVDS panel supply power is selected with jumper J4 and backlight
power is selected with jumper J6. Both are current limited to 500 mA.
US15W: The US15W provides only a single 18 or 24 bit display channel. Each LVDS data pair carries two
bits, each channel has four data pairs.
