Page 6: Introduction
Introduction COM Express™ Extension Specification The COM Express™ Extension Specification builds on the COM Express™ (COM.0) standard as defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers’ Group (PICMG®) which is an industry standard adopted for Computer-On-Modules. The COM Express™ Extension Specification is focused with its intellectual properties on the deep embedded market and is intended to be an add-on to the PICMG’s COM Express™... - Page 7 Differential Signalling) interfaces. These include the PCI bus and parallel ATA on the one hand and PCI Express and Serial ATA on the other hand. Key features include: Rich complement of contemporary high bandwidth serial interfaces, including PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet 32-bit PCI, LPC and Parallel ATA options preserved for easy interface to a range of peripherals Extended power-management capabilities...

Page 9: Com Express™ Module Sizes
COM Express™ Module sizes Overview - Module Size The primary difference between the current basic module and the extended module as well as future compact footprints like microETXexpress and nanoETXexpress is the over-all physical size and the performance envelope supported by each. The extended module offers larger real estate and can accommodate larger processor, chips and memory solutions which are not possible on the basic module. -

The holes shown in this drawing are intended for mounting the module / heat-spreader combination to the carrier board. An independent, implementation specific set of holes and spacers shall be used to attach the heat-spreader to the module.

Page 12: Signal Description
Signal Description Graphic Signal Description Based on the different available graphic interfaces offered by the different chipsets from silicon vendors including Intel, ATI, VIA, etc., there is a need for optional assignment in addition to the ones already defined by PICMG in the COM.0 specification. These will allow for ease when integrating upcoming new graphic interfaces while still assuring compatibility of COM Express™... -

Page 18: Thermal Control
Thermal Control A three-pin fan header is stuffed onboard the module to support thermal control through the use of a fan. Through BIOS-settings, it is possible to control the fan depending on the Active Trip Point temperature. The fan switches on/off depending on the adjusted Active Trip Point temperature. In order for this feature to function properly, an ACPI compliant OS is necessary. -

Software extensions TPM support Trusted Computing is a technology developed and promoted by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). The term is taken from the field of trusted systems and has a specialized meaning. "Trusted computing" means that the computer will consistently behave in specific ways and those behaviors will be enforced by hardware and software. -
