CPS3003-SA
1 Introduction
1.1 Board Over view
CompactPCI® Serial, adopted by the PICMG® consortium in 2011, describes a new base standard. The
CompactPCI Serial standard introduces a completely new connector that enables a higher signal den-
sity and supports even higher transmission frequencies of up to 12 Gb/s as well as modern point-to-
point connections such as PCI Express®, SATA, Ethernet and USB on the backplane.
The CPS3003-SA is a highly integrated 3U CompactPCI Serial CPU board based on Intel®'s 3
rd
Genera-
tion Core™ i7 technology in combination with the mobile Intel® QM77 Express Chipset. The CPU board
comes with a multi-core CPU package scalable from the dual-core ULV 1.7 GHz Intel® Core™ i7-3517UE
up to the quad-core 2.1 GHz i7-3612QE processor. The powerful PCH Intel® QM77 provides a variety of
interfaces either routed to front, onboard or the CompactPCI Serial connectors. Memory-demanding
applications can make use of up to 16 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM with Error Checking and Correction
(ECC). As another security feature, the CPS3003-SA provides a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which
offers hardware-based encryption mechanisms to create, seal or store keys and other important system
data.
For graphics intensive applications, the CPS3003-SA offers an excellent graphics performance with in-
tegrated DirectX®11, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL 1.1 support as well as three independent graphics out-
puts.
The CPS3003-SA comes with a comprehensive I/O feature set supporting the latest high-speed inter-
faces such as USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s or PCI Express® 3.0. Communication interfaces available on the
front panel are two DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Serial interfaces available
on the CompactPCI Serial connectors P1 to P5 are eight USB ports, four SATA interfaces and 17x PCI
Express® links. Additional interfaces available on the P6 CompactPCI Serial rear I/O connector are two
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, two USB ports, one DisplayPort and two serial ports.
By adding one of the four extension modules – Smart Extension Module, SATA Flash Module, CPS3003-
EXTIO or CPS3003-BRIDGE - the CPS3003-SA’s I/O and storage capabilities will be further extended.
The board is offered with various Board Support Packages including Windows, VxWorks and Linux op-
erating systems. For further information concerning the operating systems available for the CP3003-
SA, please contact Kontron.
