The CCOMe-965 board is designed using RoHS compliant components and is manufactured on a lead-free production line. It is therefore fully RoHS compliant.

Always switch the power off, and unplug the power supply unit, before handling the board and/or connecting cables or other

boards.

Avoid using metallic components - like paper clips, screws and similar - near the board when connected to a power supply, to avoid

short circuits due to unwanted contacts with other board components.

If the board has become wet, never connect it to any external power supply unit or battery.

Check carefully that all cables are correctly connected and that they are not damaged.

2.1Introduction

CCOMe-965 is a carrier board, designed in mini-ITX form factor, intended for the use with COM-Express Type 6 CPU modules.

COM-Express is an open industry standard defined specifically for COMs (computer on modules). Its definition provides the ability to make a smooth transition

from legacy parallel interfaces to the newest technologies based on serial buses available today.

COM Express CPU modules integrate all the core components of a typical PC-like architecture, and make all interface available through two standardised

connectors, so that COM Express modules become scalable. This means that once an application has been created, there is the ability to diversify the product

range through the use of different performance class or form factor size modules.

Baseboard designers can use just the I/O interfaces that really need, providing, on the carrier board, the routing to the adequate interface connectors.

This versatility allows the designer to create a dense and optimised package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration.

CCOMe-965 board can be used both as an evaluation module, to test the functionality of your COM-Express module and design an application specific carrier

board for it, or as a complete carrier board, already suited for standard purposes, with a small space consumption.

In any case, the solutions so realised is fully scalable, and allows to the user to keep his own-designed system continuously up-to-date, since the system can be

updated simply replacing the COM-Express module with a newer one, just unplugging the module and replacing it, without the need of redesigning it.

The robust thermal and mechanical concept, combined with extended power-management capabilities, is perfectly suited for all applications.

CCOMe-965

2.3Electrical Specifications

CCOMe-965 board needs to be supplied using a standard ATX Power Supply, which can, however, also be configured to work in AT mode.

Power Connector is type Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connector, p/n

39-28-1243, or equivalent, with the pin-out indicated in

the table here on the left (it is the standard 24-pin ATX pin-

out).

Mating Connector, MOLEX p/n 39-01-2240 or equivalent,

with female crimp terminal MOLEX series 5566.

***PS_ON: this signal is present only if the board is configured, via JP9, to work in ATX

mode. If working in AT mode, this pin is connected directly to Ground.

Selection of AT or ATX mode is made using jumper JP9, which is a standard pin header,

P2.54mm, 1x3 pin.

The board has also an auxiliary Power Connector for +12V_S Voltages. This connector is type Molex Mini-Fit Jr., p/n 39-28-1043, or equivalent, with the pinout

indicated in the following table. Mating Connector, MOLEX p/n 39-01-2040 or equivalent, with female crimp

terminal MOLEX series 5566.

The use of wires with section 18 AWG is recommended, in order to ensure the proper amperage of the power section.

CAUTION: handling batteries incorrectly or replacing with not-approved devices may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Three SMT LEDs are present near the Power Connector to indicate the state of Power Supply Voltage.

Red Led, D32: +5V_S ON

Yellow Led, D34: +5V_A ON

Green Led, D35: +3.3V_A ON

One pushbutton, M12, is located near the power connector, and has to be used to turn/on or off the power of the board, when in ATX mode.

Another pushbutton, M11, is located near the miniPCI-e Slot, and can be used to reset the system.

2.3.1 RTC Battery

For the occurrences when the system (Carrier Board + COM Express module) is not powered with an external power supply, on board there is a horizontal

battery holder, for the use of standard coin battery type BR2032 with a nominal capacity of 220mAh, to supply, with a 3V voltage, the Real Time Clock and CMOS

memory mounted on the COM Express module.

The batteries should only be replaced with devices of the same type. Always check the orientation before inserting and make sure that they are aligned correctly

and are not damaged or leaking.

Never allow the batteries to become short-circuited during handling.

Batteries supplied with CCOMe-965 board are compliant to requirements of European Directive 2006/66/EC regarding batteries and accumulators. When putting

out of order CCOMe-965 board, remove the batteries from the board in order to collect and dispose them according to the requirement of the same European

Directive above mentioned. Even when replacing the batteries, the disposal has to be made according to these requirements.

2.3.2 Power Rails meanings

In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning:

_S: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPI’s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_S, +5V_S.

_A: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_A, +3.3V_A.

_U: unswitched ACPI S3 voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working) and S3 (Standby) state. Examples: +1.5V_U

CCOMe-965

2.4 Mechanical Specifications

According to miniITX form factor, board dimensions are: 170 x 170 mm (6.69”x

6.69”).

The printed circuit of the board is made of six layers, some of them are ground

planes, for disturbance rejection.

In order to fix the COM Express module to the carrier board, on CCOMe-965

have been soldered five metallic spacers, height 8mm, 2.5mm diameter.
