2.1 COMe-cSP2
The Kontron COMe-cSP2 Computer-on-Module is designed to extend the COM Express® specification to include a small
module format (95 x 95 mm) with the commonly used COM Express® Type 2 connector. This will enable the
development of energy-saving, high-end graphics devices based on the Intel® Atom™ processor (up to 1.6GHz) and
the Intel® System Controller Hub US15W without having to stray from the secure development path of utilizing an
established and future-proof industry standard.
The Kontron COMe-cSP2 offers LVDS as well as more sophisticated graphics support with SDVO. SDVO delivers
additional video signals for DVI monitor outputs, SDTV and HDTV television outputs and TV tuner inputs that greatly
simplify system graphics design. This special feature makes this 95 x 95 mm Computer-on-Module ideal for small
mobile and extremely energy-efficient multimedia devices as well as for mobile test and measurement applications.
Other standard features of the COMe-cSP2 include: Gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA, single-channel LVDS and USB 2.0.
All Kontron microCOM Express® family modules are compatible with the COM Express® standard (Pin-out Type 2)
allowing for easy interchangeability and ensuring design scaleability and future migration paths.
The COMe-cSP2 is a complete PC with standard interfaces including USB and additional options such as sound
capabilities, flat panel interface, Ethernet, etc.
