    Storage: 5% to 95% Caution The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating temperature of the module is maintained at all times.

    ® do not use the conga-QA3/QA3E heatspreaders in industrial temperature ranges (-40° to 85°C). Its use is at the risk of the end user. It is the responsibility of the end user to design an optimized thermal solution that meets the needs of their application within the industrial environmental conditions it is required to operate in.
  • Page 22: Heatspreader Dimensions

    All measurements are in millimeters. Torque specification for heatspreader screws is 0.3 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/IS0 specifications. The cooling strip found on the conga-QA3/QA3E is connected directly to the ground plane when mounted in the conga-QEVAL evaluation carrier board. For more information about connecting the conga-QA3/QA3E’s PCB cooling plate to the carrier board ground plane, refer to the Qseven Design Guide.
  • Page 23: Connector Subsystems

    Connector Subsystems The conga-QA3/QA3E is based on the Qseven standard. It therefore has 115 edge fingers on the top and bottom side of the module that ® mate with the 230-pin card-edge MXM connector located on the carrier board. This connector is able to interface the available signals of the conga-QA3/QA3E with the carrier board peripherals.
  • Page 24: Pci Express

    PCI Express™ The conga-QA3/QA3E offers 3 PCI Express externally on the Edge finger. The lanes are Gen 2 compliant and offer support for full 5 Gb/s bandwidth in each direction per x1 link. Default configuration for the lanes is 3 x1 link. A 1 x2 + 1 x1 link configuration is also possible but requires a special/customized BIOS firmware.
  • Page 25: Usb 3.0

    USB 3.0 The conga-QA3/QA3E offers one USB 3.0 interface on the Edge finger. This interface is controlled by an xHCI host controller in the SoC. The host controller allows data transfers of up to 5 Gb/s and supports SuperSpeed, high-speed, full-speed and low-speed USB signalling. The USB SuperSpeed signals should be paired with USB 2.0 port 0 on the carrier board.
  • Page 26: Digital Display Interface

    The SoC on the conga-QA3/QA3E supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection 1.4/2.1 (HDCP) for content protection over wired displays (HDMI, DisplayPort and Embedded DisplayPort). It also supports audio on DP and HDMI. The conga-QA3/QA3E supports up to two independent displays. The display combination must be 1 DDI and 1 LVDS as shown in the table below:...

    5.11 The conga-QA3/QA3E offers the LPC (Low Pin Count) bus. The LPC bus corresponds approximately to a serialized ISA bus yet with a significantly reduced number of signals and functionality. Due to the software compatibility to the ISA bus, I/O extensions such as additional serial ports can be easily implemented on an application specific carrier board using this bus.
  • Page 28: Spi

    The conga-QA3/QA3E offers the SPI interface only for booting a BIOS from an SPI Flash device placed on the carrier board. 5.13 I²C Bus The conga-QA3/QA3E supports I2C bus. Thanks to the I2C host controller in the cBC, the I²C bus is multi-master capable and runs at fast mode. 5.14 CAN Bus The conga-QA3/QA3E does not support CAN bus.
  • Page 29: Power Management

    Inrush and Maximum Current Peaks on VCC_5V_SB and VCC The inrush current on the conga-QA3/QA3E VCC_5V_SB power rail can go up as high as 6.5A and as high as 12.5A on the conga-QA3/QA3E VCC power rail within a short time (approx 100µs) and with a voltage rise time of 100µs.
  • Page 30: Additional Features

    The conga-QA3/QA3E is equipped with a Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E1231H6ZRBI microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode.
  • Page 31: Board Information

    Fan Control The conga-QA3/QA3E has additional signals and functions to further improve system management. One of these signals is an output signal called FAN_PWMOUT that allows system fan control using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output. Additionally, there is an input signal called FAN_TACHOIN that provides the ability to monitor the system’s fan RPMs (revolutions per minute).
  • Page 32: Oem Cmos Default Settings And Oem Bios Logo

    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 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.
