Power Consumption The power consumption values were measured with the following setup: • Input voltage +12 V • conga-TS175 COM • modified congatec carrier board • conga-TS175 cooling solution • Microsoft Windows 10 (64 bit) Note The CPU was stressed to its maximum workload.
3. Consider the self-discharge of the battery when calculating the lifetime of the CMOS battery. For more information, refer to application note AN9_RTC_Battery_Lifetime.pdf on congatec AG website at www.congatec.com/support/application-notes. 4. We recommend to always have a CMOS battery present when operating the conga-TS175.
Storage: 5% to 95% Caution The above operating temperatures must be strictly adhered to at all times. When using a congatec heatspreader, the maximum operating temperature refers to any measurable spot on the heatspreader’s surface. Humidity specifications are for non-condensing conditions.
1. We recommend a maximum torque of 0.4 Nm for carrier board mounting screws and 0.5 Nm for module mounting screws. 2. The gap pad material used on congatec heatspreaders may contain silicon oil that can seep out over time depending on the environmental conditions it is subjected to.
The CPU temperature sensor (T00) is located in the CPU (U1). This sensor measures the CPU temperature and is defined in CGOS API as CGOS_TEMP_CPU. The board temperature sensor (T01) is located in the congatec Board Controller (U22). This sensor measures the board temperature and is defined in CGOS API as CGOS_TEMP_BOARD.
General Purpose Serial Interface The conga-TS175 offers two UART interfaces via the congatec Board Controller. These interfaces support up to 1 Mb/s and can operate in low- speed, full-speed and high-speed modes. The UART interfaces are routed to the A–B connector. They do not support hardware handshake and flow control.

0.8V when the 12V is applied to the module. Actively driving PWR_OK high is compliant to the COM Express specification but this can cause back driving. Therefore, congatec recommends driving the PWR_OK low to keep the module in reset and tri-state PWR_OK when the carrier board hardware is ready to boot.
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. It also ensures that the congatec embedded feature set is fully compatible amongst all congatec modules.
OEM Default Settings This feature allows system designers to create and store their own BIOS default configuration. Customized BIOS development by congatec for OEM default settings is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this configuration by themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL.
OEM POST Logo This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo.
The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodified on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, available on the congatec website.
Signal Descriptions and Pinout Tables The following section describes the signals found on COM Express™ Type VI connectors used for congatec AG modules. The pinout of the modules complies with COM Express Type 6 Rev. 2.1. Table 3 describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables. The PU/PD column indicates if a COM Express™...
On the conga-TS175 the PCIExpress Bus acts as the subtractive decoding agent. All I/O cycles that are not positively decoded are forwarded to the PCI Bus not the LPC Bus. Only specified I/O ranges are forwarded to the LPC Bus. In the congatec Embedded BIOS the following I/O address ranges are sent to the LPC Bus: 2Eh –...
4. Internal PCI devices not connected to the conga-TS175 are not listed. 10.3 There are no onboard resources connected to the I²C bus. Address 16h is reserved for congatec Battery Management solutions. 10.4 SM Bus System Management (SM) bus signals are connected to the Intel ®...
11.1 Navigating the BIOS Setup Menu The BIOS setup menu shows the features and options supported in the congatec BIOS. To access and navigate the BIOS setup menu, press the <DEL> or <F2> key during POST. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for text messages. These text messages explain the options and the possible impacts when changing the selected option in the left frame.
BIOS updates are recommeded to correct platform issues or enhance the feature set of the module. The conga-TS175 features a congatec/AMI AptioEFI firmware on an onboard flash ROM chip. You can update the firmware with the congatec System Utility. The utility has five versions—...
