COM Express Type 6 module with ultra-low power consumption
Embedded systems in the areas of medical, digital signage, gaming, video conferencing and industrial automation need outstanding CPU and graphics performance but are constrained by either size or thermal management. ADLINK Technology's new offering, the cExpress-HL COM Express Type 6 Compact size computer-on-module (COM), takes full advantage of the Mobile 4th Generation Intel Core Processor (formerly known as "Haswell-ULT") to provide a compact, high-performance COM system with outstanding graphics capabilities.
The ADLINK cExpress-HL features a Mobile 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 Processor at 1.7 to 3.3GHz with up to Intel HD Graphics 5000, delivering higher graphics performance than the 3rd generation, while keeping the thermal design power (TDP) under 15W. The small footprint of Intel's system on chip allows it to fit onto the COM.0 R2.0 Type 6 Compact size form factor of 95 × 95mm. Though small in size, the cExpress-HL provides rich I/O and wide-bandwidth data throughput: three independent displays (two DDI channels and one LVDS), four PCIe ×1 or one PCIe ×4 (Gen2), four SATA 6 Gb/s, two USB 3.0 ports and six USB 2.0 ports.
cExpress-HL is equipped with ADLINK's Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) which provides functions including watchdog timer, temperature and other board information monitoring and fail-safe BIOS support, all to ensure system reliability. SEMA allows users to monitor and manage systems that are standalone, connected or remote through a cloud-based interface.
To accelerate customers' system development, a COM Express Type 6 Starter Kit is available. The kit includes a COM Express Type 6 reference carrier board, adapter cards, debug board, board support packages, and all necessary cabling and documentation.
