1.3 Introduction
COM Express™ is an open specification from PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturer
Group). It is a module concept to bring PCI Express and other newer technologies like SATA,
USB 3.0 and different display interfaces onto a COM (Computer On Module).

MSC C10-MB-EV User Manual

A COM Express™ module is plugged onto an application-specific base board and offers a
migration path to future CPU technologies as they become available. Utilizing different form
factors, COM Express™ can be used for deeply embedded solutions all the way up to high
performance platforms.
For evaluation and design-in of the COM Express™ modules MSC offers evaluation
baseboards and development motherboards providing the interface infrastructure for the COM
Express™ module using PC type connectors for external access.
Currently four module sizes are defined in the COM Express Specification 2.1: the Mini Module,
the Compact Module, the Basic Module and the Extended Module. The main difference
between them is the over-all physical size and the performance envelope supported.
All module sizes of the same type use the same connectors and pin-outs and utilize several
common mounting hole positions. This level of compatibility permits a carrier board designed to
accommodate an Extended Module to also support a Basic or Compact Module.
Up to 440 pins are available between COM Express™ modules and the Carrier Board.
To enhance interoperability between COM Express™ modules and Carrier Boards, seven
common signaling configurations (Pin-out Types) have been defined to ease system integration.

2 Technical Description
2.1 Key features
The MSC C10-MB-EV is designed as a type 10 carrier according to COM Express® Module
Base Specification Revision 2.1.
Key features include:
Interface for COM Express module type 10
Single 220 pin connector
PCIe x16 slot for up to PCIe x4
One PCI Express Mini Card slot
Support pins for two Express Cards on pin header
Up to six USB 2.0 ports; two on front panel; four on pin headers (two are shared with
mPCIe and USB client support)
Two USB 3.0 ports
Four shared USB over-current lines
Two Serial ATA connectors
Display interfaces
oDigital Display Interface (DDI) configured as Display Port
oJILI30 single channel 24-bit LVDS (shared with eDP)
oeDP shared with LVDS
High definition digital audio codec ALC888 or ALC886
oLineIn
oLineOut
oMicrophone
Single Gbit Ethernet interface
LPC header
Pin header for 8 GPIOs
SuperIO WinBond W83627THF
o2x RS-232 ports
o1x Parallel port
Power supply via ATX connector or power jack
+12V primary power supply input (Wide input range 4.75V –20.0V)
Note: Rev.1 supports only 7.5V –20V (LY10100102)
Warning: The input power pins are connect to the power pins at the COM Express
connector. Check the power input range from your COM Express module if you use
other power supply than 12V.
2x UART from module
On-board SPI Flash socket
3V battery
SD Card slot (signals shared with GPIOs)
Operating temperature range: Commercial 0 to +60°C
[At industrial temperature range (-40 to +85°C), functionality of some features is not
guaranteed (SIO, HDA), 3V battery must be removed]
Note: Support for all above features will also depend on the used COM Express module. Not all
modules support the maximum number of interfaces.
