Figure 1: TQMx120 block diagram Electrical Characteristics 3.2.1 Supply Voltage The TQMx120 supports a wide-range voltage input from 8.5 V to 20 V. The following supply voltages are specif Wide input: 8.5 V to 20 V maximum input ripple: ±100 mV (U and P processor series) Standard input: 11.4 V to 12.6 V...
3.2.2 Power Consumption The power consumption values below show the TQMx120 voltage and power specifications. The values were measured with two power supplies; one for the TQMx120 and the other one for the MB-COME6-4 carrier board. ® The power consumption of each TQMx120 version was measured running Windows 10, 64-bit and a dual DDR5 SO-DIMM configuration (2 ×...

(Turbo mode) Note: Power requirement The power supplies on the carrier board for the TQMx120 have to be designed with enough reserve. The carrier board should be able to provide at least twice the maximum TQMx120 workload power. The TQMx120 supports several low-power states. The carrier board power supply has to be stable, even with no load.
10 % to 90 % (non-condensing) • Relative humidity (storage): 5 % to 95 % (non-condensing) Attention: Maximum operating temperature Do not operate the TQMx120 without properly attached heat spreader and heat sink. The heat spreader is not a sufficient heat sink.
Open CL 2.1, Open CL 2.0, Open CL 1.2 • Single 8K60Hz (HBR3) panel support The TQMx120 supports three external Digital Display Interfaces (DDI1, DDI2 and DDI3) and one internal display, either dual channel LVDS or eDP , depending on TQMx120 and carrier configuration.
3.4.4.3 SPI General Purpose The TQMx120 supports a general purpose SPI interface. The SPI Master is on the module. The interface may be used with general purpose SPI devices such as DACs, A/D converters on the carrier. Attention: General Purpose SPI carrier design SPI General Purpose support is introduced in COM.0 Rev.
TQMx120 includes a flexible I/O configuration feature, TQ-flexiCFG. Using the TQ- This option allows TQ-Systems to integrate special embedded features and configuration options in the TQMx120 to reduce the carrier board design effort. Some examples of flexible I/O configuration are: •...
Interfaces 3.5.1 PCI Express The TQMx120 supports up to four PCI Express Gen 3 ports with 8 Gbit/s speed at the C port 0 3 and up to four PCI Express Gen 4 ports with 16 Gbit/s speed 4 7.
Gigabit Ethernet ports should be configured to operate in 1000 BASE-T mode. 3.5.4 Serial ATA The TQMx120 supports two SATA Gen 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) interfaces. The integrated SATA host controller supports AHCI mode and it also supports RAID mode. The SATA controller no longer supports legacy IDE mode using I/O space.
USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Interfaces The TQMx120 supports eight USB 2.0 and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with data rate up to 10 Gbit/s All USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports are configurable to USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s).
3.5.11 LPC / eSPI Bus The TQMx120 supports a Low Pin Count (LPC) legacy bus and the Enhanced Serial Peripheral (eSPI) bus on the same COM pins. The TQMx120 includes a multiplexer to switch between the LPC and the eSPI bus on the connector pins.
Serial Ports The TQMx120 offers a dual Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) controller. The register set is based on the industry standard 16550 UART. The UART operates with standard serial port drivers without requiring a custom driver to be installed.
3.6.2 Debug Header The TQMx120 includes a 14-pin flat cable connector to connect an external debug module (TQ specific) providing uEFI BIOS POST code information, debug LEDs and a JTAG interface for on-board FPGA. The TQM debug card can be connected at this header.
TQM debug card. 3.6.4 Debug Module LED The TQMx120 includes a dual colour LED providing boot and BIOS information. The following table illustrates some LED boot messages: Table 15: LED Boot Messages...
Page 38 MECHANICS Dimensions The TQMx120 has a dimensions of 125 mm × 95 mm (±0.2 mm). The following figure shows the TQMx120 three view drawing. Figure 4: TQMx120 three view drawing The following illustration shows the TQMx120 bottom view.
An important factor for each system integration is the thermal design. The heat spreader provides the thermal coupling to the TQMx120. The heat spreader is thermally coupled to the processor and provides optimal heat transfer from the TQMx120 to the heat sink. The heat spreader itself is not an appropriate heat sink.
Hardware Monitor 0x58 5.1.3 Memory Mapping The TQMx120 supports the standard PC system memory and I/O memory map. 5.1.4 Interrupt Mapping The TQMx120 supports the standard PC Interrupt routing. The integrated legacy devices (COM1, COM2) can be configured via the BIOS to IRQ3 and IRQ4.
Operating Systems. 5.2.2 Driver Download The TQMx120 is well supported by the Standard Operating Systems, which already include most of the drivers required. ® It is recommended to use the latest Intel drivers to optimize performance and make use of the full TQMx120 feature set.
By disregarding the information you can destroy the uEFI BIOS on the TQMx120! This document will guide the customer to update the uEFI BIOS on the TQMx120 by using the Insyde Flash Firmware Tools. The InsydeH2O Tools are only available on request.
Step 4: BIOS update check on the TQMx120 Module After the uEFI BIOS update, the new uEFI BIOS configures the complete TQMx120 hardware and this results in some reboots and the first boot time takes longer (up to 1-2 minutes).
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our environment. To be able to reuse the TQMx120, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures.
