congatec AG modules utilize the Type 2 pinout definition. They are equipped with two high performance connectors that ensure stable data

throughput.

The COM (computer on module) integrates all the core components and is mounted onto an application specific carrier board. COM modules

are a legacy-free design (no Super I/O, PS/2 keyboard and mouse) and provide most of the functional requirements for any application. These

functions include, but are not limited to, a rich complement of contemporary high bandwidth serial interfaces such as PCI Express, Serial ATA,

USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. The Type 2 pinout provides the ability to offer 32-bit PCI, Parallel ATA, and LPC options thereby expanding

the range of potential peripherals. The robust thermal and mechanical concept, combined with extended power-management capabilities, is

perfectly suited for all applications.

Carrier board designers can utilize as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed necessary. The carrier board can therefore provide all

the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specific peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a

dense and optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly, COM Express™

modules are scalable, which means once an application has been created there is the ability to diversify the product range through the use of

different performance class or form factor size modules. Simply unplug one module and replace it with another, no redesign is necessary.
