2Introduction
The COMe Reference Carrier Type 6 for Type 6 modules is designed to allow embedded application developers to get up
and running quickly on the COM Express® basic platform, giving them a head start on the total system design. Simply
select a Type 6 CPU module, then Plug & Go. The COMe Reference Carrier Type 6 is an evaluation backplane for COM
Express® Computer-on-Modules following the PICMG COM.0 specification Rev 1.0 or Rev 2.0 with pin-out Type 10.

3.4 Electrical Specification
Supply Voltage
8,5V –18V
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
Supply Voltage Ripple
»Maximum 100 mV peak to peak 0-20MHz
Maximum Current
The maximum current on the COMe Ref. Carrier T6 inclusive the module and all other connector consumers must not
exceed 16A. That leads to a maximum power of 136W at 8.5V input voltage and 288W at 18V input voltage.
3.5 Environmental Specification
Ambient temperature
»Operating: 0°C to +60 °C
»Non-operating: -20 to +75 °C
Humidity
»Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)
»Non operating: 5% to 95% (non condensing)
3.6 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer‟s test
data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore calculation used is
“Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a
40° C ambient environment and the system is assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer‟s data has been
used wherever possible. The manufacturer‟s data, when used, is specified at 50° C, so in that sense the following
results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in an office or telecommunications

environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water
exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
»System MTBF: tbd hours

4Connector Layout
4.1 Rear Panel
The rear panel layout is based on an Intel miniITX mainboard, DH67CF. Therefore the I/O shield for DH67CF can be
used for the COMe Ref. Carrier T6.
The I/O shield can be directly ordered from Intel‟s spare parts store.

5.1 Power Supply
5.1.1 ATX Connector and Behavior Control
The COM Express® Reference Carrier Type 6 power supply follows the ATX 2.x specification and the baseboard should
be supplied by connecting an ATX PSU with 20pin ATX (J58) and 8pin ATX_12V (J59) supply cable in correct
orientation. The 8pin ATX_12V connector mainly supplies power to the module and allows powering the module
directly in specified wide range power input. The module additionally is supplied with 5V standby voltage. Single
supply mode is controlled by J85, and then the 20pin ATX connector J58 is not necessary to connect.
J26 overrides the PS_ON# signal in ATX powered mode.
