COMe-bSC6 / Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 Product Description
In 2011, Intel® introduced its first quad core CPU suitable for the COM Express® platform. With the quad-core CPU Core™
i7-2715QE and the dual-core CPUs Core™ i3/i5/i7, COM Express® reaches ground-breaking performance values: both for
CPU and GPU rankings. With various CPUs COMe-bSC# serves your individual performance needs, starting with a 1.1 GHz
version Celeron® 847E.
Kontron's COMe-bSC# is available as COM Express® basic form factor (125x95mm) for Pin-out Type 2 (COMe-bSC2) and
Pin-out Type 6 (COMe-bSC6).
2.2 Naming clarification
COM Express® defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, with all components necessary for a bootable host computer,
packaged as a super component.
» COMe-bXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in basic form factor (125mm x 95mm)
» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm)
» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm)
The product names for Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules consist of a short form of the industry standard
(
COMe-), the form factor (b=basic, c=compact, m=mini), the capital letters for the CPU and Chipset Codenames (XX) and
the pin-out type ( #) followed by the CPU Name.
2.3 Understanding COM Express® Functionality
All Kontron COM Express® basic and compact modules contain two 220pin connectors; each of it has two rows called Row
A & B on primary connector and Row C & D on secondary connector. COM Express® Computer-on-modules feature the
following maximum amount of interfaces according to the PICMG module Pin-out type:
