Evaluation Board. The 12009-001-KT supports Compact Type 6 COM Express modules and provides the
smallest COM Express Type 6 footprint available. Standard features include two Gigabit Ethernet, two USB
3.0 Type C, three USB 2.0, four GPIO ports, one RS-232, one UART interface, one M.2 SATA SSD slot, and
one Mini DisplayPort. Specific features are COM Express module dependent.

time to market. Our extensive library of proven I/O circuits including serial, analog, and digital functionality
simplifies the design process and can be easily optimized to meet the specific I/O count, voltage ranges
and connector types required for your application.
The 12009 COM Express Compact Type 6 Evaluation Board is an off-the-shelf Computer on Module (COM)
containing the functionality common to most industrial computing systems (processor, memory, graphics,
USB, Ethernet, etc.) with a custom carrier board that includes application specific I/O and interface
connectors. This combination provides the benefits of a full custom design while reducing the time, cost,
and risk of full custom system design.
COM architecture offers significant technical and business advantages including:
•Fast Time to Market
•Scalability for Easy Upgrade
•Superior Application Specific I/O
•Flexible Mechanical Configuration
•Shock and Vibration Resistant
•Extended Operating Temperature Range
•Long Term Availability and Support
•Lifecycle Management and easy technology refresh
Sealevel has partnered with the leading COM Express module manufacturers to ensure our customers
benefit from the best in the industry. This manual will focus on the higher-level features of the 12009-001-
KT carrier board interfaces and I/O.
