  • Page 10: Introduction

    8 / 0 1x DDI The conga-TCA modules use the Type 6 pinout definition and comply with COM Express 2.1 specification. They are equipped with two high performance connectors that ensure stable data throughput. The COM integrates all the core components and is mounted onto an application specific carrier board. COM modules are legacy-free design (no Super I/O, PS/2 keyboard and mouse) and provide most of the functional requirements for any application.
  • Page 11 Options Information The conga-TCA has four variants. The table below shows the different configurations available. Check for the Part No. that applies to your product. This will tell you what options described in this user’s guide are available on your particular module.

  • Page 15: Power Consumption

    The power consumption values listed in this document were measured under a controlled environment. The hardware used for testing includes a conga-TCA module, conga-Cdebug carrier board, CRT monitor, SATA drive, and USB keyboard. The conga-Cdebug is modified so that the 12V input is only routed to the module and all other circuity on the carrier itself is powered by the 5V input. The SATA drive was powered externally by an ATX power supply so that it does not influence the power consumption value that is measured for the module.

    DisplayPort (DP) The conga-TCA offers two DP ports, each capable of supporting link-speeds of 1.62 Gbps and 2.7 Gbps on 1, 2 or 4 data lanes. The DP is multiplexed onto the Digital Display Interface (DDI) of the COM Express connector. The DisplayPort specification is a VESA standard aimed at consolidating internal and external connection methods to reduce device complexity, supporting key cross industry applications, and providing performance scalability to enable the next generation of displays.
  • Page 30: Additional Features

    Note The conga-TCA module does not support the watchdog NMI mode. COM Express type 6 modules do not support the PCI bus and therefore the PCI_SERR# signal is not available. There is no way to drive a NMI to the processor without the presence of the PCI_SERR# PCI bus signal.

    OEM BIOS Code With the congatec embedded BIOS it is even possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. Except for custom specific code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table, verb tables for HDA codecs, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controllers.

    EAPI (Embedded Application Programming Interface) is a programming interface defined by the PICMG that addresses this problem. With this unified API, it is now possible to run the same application on all vendor’s COMs that offer EAPI driver support. Contact congatec technical support for more information about EAPI.
  • Page 33: Security Features

    Security Features The conga-TCA can be equipped optionally with a “Trusted Platform Module“ (TPM 1.2). This TPM 1.2 includes coprocessors to calculate efficient hash and RSA algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and e-commerce will benefit also with improved authentication, integrity and confidence levels.
