conga-X855
XTX embedded CPU module with Intel Pentium M and SATA
Performance
The conga-X855 features Intel® Pentium M processors up to 1.8 GHz with 2 MByte cache. These processors, in conjunction with some of the fast XTX I/O extensions, will lead to new levels of system performance.
Low Power Consumption
The complete design is geared around low power consumption. The Ultra Low Voltage Intel® Celeron® M 600 MHz variant is very well suited for mobile solutions. The congatec Embedded BIOS offers ACPI battery support. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is supported for Pentium M versions.
Lead-free Design (RoHS)
As of July 2006, all electronic products are required to be environmentally friendly. All congatec AG products fulfill this requirements.
ETX® Standard
The conga-X855 is based on the ETX® spec 2.7 and can easily be integrated into any existing ETX® design that is not using the ISA bus. In order to take advantage of the XTX functions you only have to consider the X2 connector signals, everything else remains the same.
Graphics Efficiency
The integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics controller with two independent pipelines features latest 3D, 2D and video capabilities. Supports up to 64 MByte frame buffer using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). It automatically recognizes almost every available flat panel display and sets all parameters accordingly. Displays can be connected using the LVDS interface, analog VGA interface or the DVO port.
Mass Storage
Two serial ATA® drives can be connected as fast mass storage devices. In order to support economical and robust CompactFlash cards, parallel ATA is also available.
Connectivity
Thanks to the six USB 2.0, 2x SATA®, two COM ports, PCI, I²C, LPT,... the conga-X855 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.
Security
The conga-X855 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 e-commerce will benefit also with improved authentification, integrity and confidence levels.

Design-In Support
congatec support begins with your product idea and philosophy and continues throughout the series phase all the way up to the next product generation. This commitment to support helps our customers keep system development costs low and speeds up time-to-market.
System Integration
An important factor for each system integration is the thermal design. The heatspreader is a thermal coupling interface that makes fanless and rugged solutions possible.
