COM Express® is a PICMG® standard that defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, packaged as a super component. The defined interfaces provide a smooth transition path from legacy interfaces to modern differential signals. This includes DisplayPort, PCI Express®, USB 3.0 and Serial ATA. congatec is specification editor for the most recent revision 3.0 of this PICMG® standard. This version includes the new Type 7 definition which extends the use for COM Express modules to server class applications.
The new Type 7 is not a replacement for the well-established Type 6 pinout. It trades all audio and video interfaces for four 10G Ethernet ports and a total of 32 PCI Express lanes in order to support enhanced micro servers and other server Type applications that only allow for low power consumption but require high computing performance and communication throughput.
German module expert congatec presents a small COM Express Computer-on-Module (COM) in the Mini form factor. Equipped with the new Intel Atom and Intel Celeron processors (codename Bay Trail) and thanks to their low power draw, the modules are ideal for x86-based mobile and semi-stationary applications in medical technology and industrial automation.The conga-MA3E now offers designers the safety and security of error correction code, often referred to as ECC memory, on a COM Express Mini Type 10 module.
