conga-X915
XTX embedded CPU module with 4 PCI Express lanes and SATA
High End
The conga-X915 features Intel® Pentium® M processors up to 2.0 GHz with 2 MByte cache. Compared to the conga-X855 the conga-X915 offers an additional 4x X1 PCI Express lanes for extremely fast I/Os.
Low Power Consumption
The complete design is geared around low power consumption. The Intel® Pentium® M 1.4 GHz variant offers very reasonable computing performance for mobile solutions. The congatec Embedded BIOS offers ACPI support that’s necessary when using batteries. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is supported.
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-X915 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® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 features the latest 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports up to 128 MByte frame buffer using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). conga-X915 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 DVO port. TV-Out is also supported.
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.
Sound
conga-X915 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.
Connectivity
Thanks to the six USB 2.0, 2x SATA®, two COM ports, PCI, I²C, LPT,... the conga-X915 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.
Security
The conga-X915 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.

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.
