ETX-A61

2.1Introduction

The ETX-A61 is a ETX®3.0 compliant module, based on the Intel®family of System-on-Chips (SOCs) formerly coded as Bay Trail, a series of Single/ Dual / Quad

Core SOCs with 64-bit instruction set. These SOCs embed all the features usually obtained by combination of CPU + platform Controller hubs, all in one single IC,

which allows, therefore, the system minimisation and performance optimisation. A complete list of SOCs available is detailed in the next subchapter.

All the supported SOCs offer a 64-bit Instruction set, and provide direct access to the memory. Frequencies up to 1333MHz are supported, with a maximum

capacity up to 8GB. Please notice that total amount of memory available is OS dependant, and depends also on the SOC.

All SOCs integrate an Intel®HD Graphics 4000 Series Controller, which offer high graphical performances, with support for Microsoft®DirectX11, OpenGL 3.0,

OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL ES 2.0 and HW acceleration for video decoding of H.264, MPEG2, MVG, VC-1, VP8 and MJPEG video standards (for H.264, MPEG2 and

MVG also HW encoding is offered). This embedded GPU is able to drive two independent displays; this can be obtained by exploiting both the native CRT (VGA)

interface and the LVDS interface, which is realised through an eDP-to-LVDS bridge placed on one of the native Digital Display Interfaces available on the SOC.

For mass storage, on board it is possible to mount an optional eMMC disk. Furthermore, it is possible to connect external Hard Disk Drives by using the two native

SATA channels of the SOC. ETX®specifications foresee the possibilities of having Parallel ATA interface on connector X4 and/or additional SATA connectors on

top of the board. For this reason, since SATA channels available are only two, it is possible (as a factory option) to mount onboard one or two SATA-to-PATA

bridges. Depending on the configuration purchased, therefore, it will be possible to have modules with two SATA connectors on top, or with two PATA interfaces

on connector X4, or with one PATA interface on X4 and one SATA connector on top of the module.

The native HD Audio interface is connected to a Realtek ALC262 HD Audio Codec, so that it is possible to have analog audio channels (Stereo Output, Stereo

auxiliary input and microphone input) on ETX connector X1.

Four USB 2.0 ports are supported directly by the SOC, ad are carried out directly on connector X1.

To complete the functionalities of the module, and make it compliant to ETX specifications, there are onboard a Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Intel®I210/I2111),

which makes available the 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface, and a PCI-e-to-PCI bridge, to implement the PCI bus. Both these devices are managed by using two of

the PCI-express ports #0 and #1, respectively.

Furthermore, on the LPC bus, are placed a LPC-to-ISA bridge, used to implement the ISA bus which characterize the ETX modules, and a Nuvoton SUperI/O,

which makes available two full-modem serial ports, a parallel port shared with Floppy Disk interface, and PS/2 interface for Mouse and Keyboard.

The functionalities of this module are completed by the Real Time Clock, SM Bus, I2C Bus and the Watchdog. Please refer to following chapter for a complete list

of all peripherals integrated and characteristics.

The module has a very rugged design, since it is based on soldered down DDR3L memories, ceramic capacitors only and high quality AEC-Q200 grade-1

inductors. The possibility of having an embedded storage device, the eMMC, makes this module particularly suited for applications where vibrations can represent

a problem that must be faced.

The product is ETX®Rel.3.0 standard compliant, an industry standard defined specifically for COMs (computer on modules) which require ensuring support for

legacy peripherals (like those requiring ISA bus, PCI bus and/or PS/2 interface). Its definition provides the ability to make a smooth transition from legacy parallel

interfaces to the newest technologies based on serial buses available.

ETX-A61

2.3Electrical Specifications

According to ETX®specifications, the ETX-A61 board needs to be supplied only with an external +5VDC ± 5% voltage (+5V_S).

5 Volts standby voltage needs to be supplied for working in ATX mode.

For Real Time Clock working and CMOS memory data retention, it is also needed a backup battery voltage. It must be provided using pin 8 (BATT) of connector X4

(CN7).

All these voltages are supplied directly through ETX Connectors X1 (CN6), X2 (CN5), X3 (CN8) and X4 (CN7).

All remaining voltages needed for board’s working are generated internally from +5V_S power rail.

According to ETX®specifications, the +3.3V_S voltage present on connector X1 pins 12, 16 and 24 is generated internally; therefore, it must be considered as a

power output for devices on the carrier board that need this voltage. According to ETX®specifications, maximum external load admitted on +3.3V_S power rail is

500mA.

2.3.1 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.

2.3.2 Power Consumption

TBM

Since +3.3V_S is generated internally on ETX-A61 module, do not connect +3.3V_S pins to external 3.3V power supply units.

ETX-A61

2.4 Mechanical Specifications

The ETX-A61 is an ETX®3.0 compliant module; therefore its dimensions are 114 mm x 95 mm (4.49”x 3.74”).

Printed circuit of the board is made of ten layers, some of them are ground planes, for disturbance rejection.

The ETX plugs used will allow a clearance under the module of about 3mm. Since there are components on the bottom of the module, it is necessary to avoid

placing any component on the carrier board in the area under the ETX®module.

3.2 Connectors description

3.2.1 FAN Connector Depending on the usage model of ETX-A61 module, for critical applications/environments on the module itself it is available a 3-

pin dedicated connector for an external +5VDC FAN.

FAN Connector is a 3-pin single line SMT connector, type MOLEX 53261-0319 or equivalent, with pinout shown in

the table on the left.

Mating connector: MOLEX 51021-0300 receptacle with MOLEX 50079-8000 female crimp terminals.

Please be aware that the use of an external fan depends strongly on customer’s application/installation.

Please refer to chapter 5.1 for considerations about thermal dissipation.

FAN_POWER: +5V_Sderived power rail for FAN, managed by the embedded microcontroller via PWM signal.

FAN_TACHO_IN: tachometric input from the fan to the embedded microcontroller, +3.3V_S electrical level signal.

3.2.2 SATA connectors The SOCs used on ETX-A61 module have an integrated S-ATA controller, which offers a

SATA II, 3.0 Gps interface, capable to use up to two independent devices. These two

channels can be carried out on externally on connectors CN2 and CN3, which are standard

right-angle S-ATA connectors, to be used for connection of external Mass Storage Devices.

Both these connectors are optional, since the two SATA channels can be used

(as a factory option) to drive a SATA-to-PATA bridge, which will make available

the primary and/or the secondary IDE Channel on ETX connector X4 (CN7).

Please also check par. 3.2.5.10.

3.2.3 μSD Card Slot

The SOCs used on ETX-A61 module offer a SD 3.0 compliant interface, that can be used to implement another mass storages media other than the optional

internal eMMC and the two SATA/PATA interfaces.

This SD interface is carried to a standard μSD card slot, soldered on top side of the module, push-push type.
