COM Express Basic Module with Intel GS45 Chipset
High End
The conga-BS45 features processors up to the latest Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.26 GHz with 6 MByte shared L2 cache and 1066 MHz FSB. It features the powerful Mobile Intel® GS45 Express chipset with integrated Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (Intel® GMA 4500MHD).
The module can be equipped with a maximum of 8 GByte fast DDR3 dual channel memory. When compared to DDR2 memory, the power consumption of DDR3 is ~20% lower.
Graphics Efficiency
The integrated Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (Intel® GMA 4500MHD) features the latest 3D, 2D and streaming video capabilities. It supports Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT 5.0), hardware accelerated HDTV video streaming and DirectX10. With EPI and DisplayID (VESA Standard), the conga-BS45 supports automatic display recognition.
In order to help reduce power consumption, the clock speed and supply voltages are dynamically adapted to the software application demands of the graphics controller.
Graphics Outputs
Both independent graphic pipelines can use either 2x24 Bit LVDS, SDVO, TV-Out, analog VGA or the new interfaces DisplayPort and HDMI.
Gigabit Ethernet
The conga-BS45 features Gigabit Ethernet via the COM Express connectors to enable fast communication links.
COM Express Basic Form Factor
The conga-BS45 is based on the Type 2 pinout specified by the PICMG COM Express specification. The module's dimensions are 95x125mm². which is the COM Express Basic size definition.
Lead-free Design (RoHS)
All congatec AG designs are created form lead-free components and are completely RoHS compliant.
Mass Storage
Three serial ATA® drives can be connected as fast mass storage devices. High performance RAID 0/1/5/10 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, 3x SATA®, 5x PCI Express Lanes, PCI Express Graphic (PEG), PCI, I²C,... the conga-BS45 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.
Sound
conga-BS45 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-BS45 is equipped with an integrated ”Trusted Platform Module” (TPM). It is capable to calulate efficient hash and RSA algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 bits and includes a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and ecommerce will benefit also with improved authentification, integrity and confidence levels.
