conga-B945


Dual Core COM Express Module with Dual Channel Memory Support


High Performance COM Express Module

High End

The conga-B945 features many processors up to the latest Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2x 2.16 GHz with 4 MByte shared L2 cache. It offers a rich feature set including 5x1 PCI Express and 1x16 PCI Express Graphic lanes.

COM Express Basic

The “Basic” version, based on the COM Express Type 2, measures only 95x125mm². Pins and mechanics are defined at the PICMG COM Express specification.

Gigabit Ethernet

The conga-B945 features Gigabit Ethernet via the COM Express connectors to enable fast communication links.

Lead-free Design (RoHS)

As of July 2006, all electronic products are required to be environmentally friendly. All congatec AG products fulfill this requirements.

Mass Storage

Two serial ATA® drives can be connected as fast mass storage devices. High performance RAID 0 and RAID 1 levels are supported. In order to support economical and robust CompactFlash cards, parallel ATA is also available.

Connectivity

Thanks to the 8x USB 2.0, 2x SATA®, 5x PCI Express Lanes, PCI Express Graphic (PEG), PCI, I²C,... the conga-B945 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.

Graphics Efficiency

The integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 features the latest 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports up to 224 MByte frame buffer using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). With EPI support the conga-B945 automatically recognizes almost every available flat panel display and sets all parameters accordingly. Additional displays can be connected using the analog VGA interface or the SDVO ports. TV-Out is also supported.

Sound

conga-B945 can utilize several high definition audio (HDA) codecs. This allows for the easy implementation of telephone and audio applications that require the highest sound quality and numerous channels.

Security

The conga-B945 can be equipped optionally with a ”Trusted Platform Module” (TPM). This TPM includes coprocessors to calculate efficient hash- and RSA-algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and ecommerce will benefit also with improved authentification, integrity and confidence levels.
