Audio Interfaces The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini features either a high definition audio (HDA) codec (Realtek ALC888S-VD) by default. Optionally, I2S codec (Cirrus Logic WM8904) can be featured instead (assembly option). Both codecs support the front audio header (X28) and 4-pole audio jack (X44).
X53: 2.54 mm pitch, 2x1-pin female connector 4.13 SPI BIOS Flash The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini provides an onboard SPI BIOS flash memory chip (U10) set as the default boot option. The boot select pins BSEL[2:0] are routed to DIP SW1: • BSEL0 to DIP SW1.1 (default: OFF) •...
4.16 UART0 Port The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini provides the module's UART0 port on header X14. The port supports RS-232 I/O voltage levels. Table 22 X14 - UART0 Pinout Signals Pin 1 UART0_TX UART0_RTS UART0_CTS UART0_RX Connector Type X14: 1.25 mm pitch, 5x1-pin (Molex 53261-0571); Possible Mating Connector: Molex 51021-0500 4.17...
4.18 CAN Port The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini provides the module's CAN bus signals via a transceiver (Microchip Inc. MCP2562FD) on header X16. The CAN bus does not have resistor termination. For CAN bus termination, use a cable adapter with internal resistor termination.
Connector Type X50: 1.25 mm, 4-pin fan plug X49: 2.54 mm grid jumper 4.20 Feature Connector The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini provides pins with various signals on feature connector CN4. Table 27 CN4 - Feature Connector Pinout Pin Signal Description Pin Signal Description...
The conga-HPC/3.5-Mini provides I2C0 pins on header X19. An onboard EEPROM is connected to the I2C0 bus with the address 0xAE. Use the I²C control commands implemented in the congatec CGOS API driver to access the EEPROM. For more information, refer to the CGOS manual and the user’s guide of the COM-HPC module.
