Embedded Control europe: congatec: low-power ETX/XTX module with N270 processor

congatec announces the new conga-XA945 module as the latest addition to the companies ETX/XTX product family. The compact 95x114 mm XTX module is designed to deliver the best performance-per-watt ratio at the most attractive price level and features 4 PCI Express links instead of an ISA bus. The total thermal design power of the processor/chipset combination is only 8 Watt. As a result of enhanced power management functions, modern applications typically require considerably less than 5 Watt. In conjunction with ACPI 3.0 battery management, such low power requirements enable designers to create mobile embedded applications with a full set of interfaces.

The conga-XA945 supports 4 PCI Express links, 6 USB 2.0 Ports, 2 Serial ATA interfaces, an IDE interface as well as Intel High Definition Audio. In addition, it comes with a 32-Bit PCI bus, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, multi master I²C bus, LPC bus and fan control. A DDR2 SODIMM socket enables flexible memory configuration...
