COMe-cBT6 / Introduction
2. Introduction
2.1. Product Description
The standard design of the COM Express® compact modules – Kontron COMe-cBT6 – supports the entire portfolio of the
Intel® Atom™ E3800 processors (COMe-cBTi6) and Intel® Celeron® processors N2800/N2900 and J1900 (COMe-cBTc6),
whereby the E3800 variants are designed for the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The memory of up to 2x
8GB has been laid out as dual-channel DDR3L SODIMM. With eMMC Flash, SD card slot and 2x SATA, ample storage options
for OS and application code are available. Substantial USB support is also offered with 1x USB 3.0 and up to 8x USB 2.0.
2.2. Naming clarification
COM Express® defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, with all components necessary for a bootable host computer,
packaged as a super component.
» COMe-bXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in basic form factor (125mm x 95mm)
» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm)
» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm)
The product names for Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules consist of a short form of the industry standard
(COMe-), the form factor (b=basic, c=compact, m=mini), the capital letters for the CPU and Chipset Codenames (XX) and
the pin-out type (#) followed by the CPU Name.
2.3. Understanding COM Express® Functionality
All Kontron COM Express® basic and compact modules contain two 220pin connectors; each of it has two rows called Row
A & B on primary connector and Row C & D on secondary connector. COM Express® Computer-on-modules feature the
following maximum amount of interfaces according to the PICMG module Pin-out type:
Feature Pin-Out Type 1 Pin-Out Type 10 Pin-Out Type 2 Pin-Out Type 6

2.4. COM Express® Documentation
This product manual serves as one of three principal references for a COM Express® design. It documents the
specifications and features of COMe-cBT6. Additional references are available at your Kontron Support or at PICMG®:
» The COM Express® Specification defines the COM Express® module form factor, pin-out, and signals. This document
is available at the PICMG® website by filling out the order form.
» The COM Express® Design Guide by PICMG® serves as a general guide for baseboard design, with a focus on
maximum flexibility to accommodate a wide range of COM Express® modules.
2.5. COM Express® Benefits
COM Express® modules are very compact, highly integrated computers. All Kontron COM Express® modules feature a
standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout which carry a specified set of signals. Each COM is based on
the COM Express® specification. This standardization allows designers to create a single-system baseboard that can
accept present and future COM Express® modules.
The baseboard designer can optimize exactly how each of these functions implements physically. Designers can place
connectors precisely where needed for the application on a baseboard designed to optimally fit a system’s packaging.
A single baseboard design can use a range of COM Express® modules with different sizes and pin-outs. This flexibility can
differentiate products at various price/performance points, or when designing future proof systems that have a built-in
upgrade path. The modularity of a COM Express® solution also ensures against obsolescence when computer technology
evolves. A properly designed COM Express® baseboard can work with several successive generations of COM Express®
modules.
A COM Express® baseboard design has many advantages of a customized computer-board design and, additionally, delivers
better obsolescence protection, heavily reduced engineering effort, and faster time to market
Some of the information contained within this product manual applies only to certain
product revisions (CE: xxx). If certain information applies to specific product revisions (CE:
xxx) it will be stated. Please check the product revision of your module to see if this
information is applicable.

3.5. Electrical Specification
3.5.1. SupplyVoltage
Following supply voltage is specified at the COM Express® connector:
VCC: 4.75 - 20V
Standby: 5V DC +/- 5%
RTC: 2.5V - 3.47V
3.5.2. Power Supply Rise Time
» The input voltages shall rise from ≤10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges within 0.1ms to 20ms.
» There must be a smooth and continuous ramp of each DC input voltage from 10% to 90% of its final set-point
following the ATX specification
3.5.3. Supply Voltage Ripple
» Maximum 100 mV peak to peak 0 – 20 MHz
3.5.4. Power Consumption
The maximum Power Consumption of the different COMe-cBT6 variants is 3.5 - 13.5W (100% CPU load on all cores; 90°C
CPU temperature). Further information with detailed measurements are available in Application Note KEMAP054 available
on EMD Customer Section. Information there is available after registration.
-5V Standby voltage is not mandatory for operation.
-Extended Temperature (E1) variants are validated for 12V supply only

3.5.5. ATX Mode
By connecting an ATX power supply with VCC and 5VSB, PWR_OK is set to low level and VCC is off. Press the Power Button to
enable the ATX PSU setting PWR_OK to high level and powering on VCC. The ATX PSU is controlled by the PS_ON# signal
which is generated by SUS_S3# via inversion. VCC can be 4.75 - 20V in ATX Mode. On Computer-on-Modules supporting a
wide range input down to 4.75V the input voltage shall always be higher than 5V Standby (VCC > 5VSB).

3.5.6. Single Supply Mode
In single supply mode (or automatic power on after power loss) without 5V Standby the module will start automatically
when VCC power is connected and Power Good input is open or at high level (internal PU to 3.3V). PS_ON# is not used in
this mode and VCC can be 4.75 - 20V.
To power on the module from S5 state press the power button or reconnect VCC. Suspend/Standby States are not
supported in Single Supply Mode.

Signals marked with “x” are not important for the specific power state. There is no
difference if connected or open.
All ground pins have to be tied to the ground plane of the carrier board.
