Computer on module adopts COM Express form factor
The conga-CLX is the first computer on module based on the COM Express compact form factor.
XTX based COM runs up to 2GHz Pentium
An XTX based computer on module is fully ETX compatible but replaces the ISAbus with PCI Express and much more.
PCI Express, Serial ATA and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity boosts the overall system performance.
The Conga-B945 is equipped with Intel's latest 65nm Core Duo processors up to T2500 at 2.0GHz with a 2Mbyte cache and 667MHz front-side bus.
It also includes the Intel 82945GM chipset.
Five PCI Express lanes, PCI Express Graphic (PEGx16), eight USB 2.0 ports, two Serial ATA interfaces and signals for two ExpressCards allow for fast system extensions.
Fan control, LPC bus for slow speed extensions and HDA, a high-performance digital audio interface, complete the full feature set.
When making use of the PEG 1x16, the Conga-B945 can drive extremely fast external graphic controllers.
The 16 PCI Express lanes of the PEG interface allow for a maximum data transmission rate of 40Gbit/s.
The dual memory channels can support up to 4Gbyte of 667MHz DDR2 SODIMM memory.
Dual channel memory is 10 to 15% faster than a comparable single channel configuration.
Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which is a chipset integrated graphics controller, allows for more than 10Git/s bandwidth to a maximum of 224Mbyte video-memory allocation.
Both independent graphic pipelines can use either 2 x 24bit LVDs, SDVO, TV-Out or analogue VGA.
The Conga-B945 implements the new EPI (embedded panel interface) standard allowing for automatic recognition of the attached flat panel display.
Despite the highest performance capabilities of the Conga-B945, it's still very suitable for all mobile and fanless applications when using the low-voltage Intel Core Duo L2400 processor or the ultralow voltage Intel Celeron M 423 processor.
Battery support and ACPI 2.0 compliant enhanced power-management features enable the Conga-B945 to meet the needs of the mobile computing market.
The Conga-B945 is available for mass production from April 2007.
Engineering samples are available now.
