1 Introduction
1.1 Mini-ITX Concept
The Mini-ITX form factor provides enthusiasts and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a footprint
of 170 mm x 170 mm, 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 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.
1.2 conga-IC175
The conga-IC175 is a Single Board Computer designed based on the Thin Mini-ITX specification. The conga-IC175 SBC features the 7th
Generation Intel Core U-Series processors. With 15W base TDP, the SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and
outstanding graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports dual channel DDR4 up to 2133 MT/s for a maximum system memory capacity of 32 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-IC175 SBC provides manufacturers and system designers with the
opportunity to design compact systems for space restricted areas. With appropriate I/O shield, the same conga-IC175 SBC can be used in
either a Thin Mini-ITX or a Mini-ITX design.
The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-IC175 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efficient, performance-
oriented embedded systems.

2.5 Power Consumption
The power consumption values were measured using the following test setup:
•Input voltage +12 V
•conga-IC175 SBC
•conga-IC175 cooling solution
•Microsoft Windows 10 (64 bit)
Note
The CPU was stressed to its maximum workload.
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
S0: Maximum value Highest frequency mode (HFM/Turbo Boost) The CPU was stressed to its maximum frequency
S0: Peak current 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 sufficient power is supplied during worst case scenarios
S3 SBC is powered by 12 V
S5 SBC is powered by 12 V
Note
1. The fan and SATA drives were powered externally.
2. All other peripherals except the LCD monitor were disconnected before measurement.

Note
With a fast input voltage rise time, the inrush current may exceed the measured peak current.
2.6 Supply Voltage Battery Power
Table 9 CMOS Battery Power Consumption
RTC @ Voltage Current
-10oC 3V DC 1.44 µA
20oC 3V DC 1.57 µA
70oC 3V DC 1.91 µA
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.
