1 Introduction
The Portwell PCOM-701GT Type 7, basic form factor (125mm x 95mm) COM Express module is designed with the Intel® Atom®
processor C3000 product family (codenamed Denverton). Specifically, the COM Express 3.0 specification’s new Type 7 pinout,
when compared to the Type 6 pinout, trades all the graphics interfaces for up to four 10GbE ports and a total of 32 PCIe lanes,
ideal for applications in micro server and alike, requiring low power consumption while supporting high computing performance and
communication throughput.
Portwell's PCOM-B701GT features four 10GbE KR, one GbE, DDR4 ECC/non-ECC memory support, and Gen3 PCIe supporting
high speed I/O card. It is compatible with Type 7 carrier board. In addition, Portwell's PCOM-B701GT Type 7 COM Express module
also supports a wide -40°C~85°C industrial temperature range (selected SKUs).
