COM Express for extended temperature range
A MSC Vertriebs product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 25, 2010
MSC Vertriebs has launched the MSC CXC-US15WP COM Express platform, designed for an extended temperature range of -40C to +85C.
The board uses only components that are qualified for the low and high temperatures and the design of the platform has been adapted to the extended conditions.
Based on the Menlow XL platform, the standardised computer-on-module MSC CXC-US15WP is available in two extended temperature versions: with the Intel Atom processor Z510PT or Z520PT, clocked at a maximum of 1.33GHz.
In addition to the Intel System Controller Hub US15WPT containing the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500, the board comes with up to 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM.
The CPU modules are implemented in the Compact COM Express form factor, with dimensions of 95 x 95mm.
MSC supplies a passive heat sink and a heat spreader for the embedded modules.
The COM Express platform MSC CXC-US15WP is said to be particularly suitable for use in visualisation and HMI applications in the extended temperature range, where low power-dissipation and ruggedness are the main priorities.
Target markets are the areas of transportation and automotive, industrial automation and medical technology.
In addition to compact MSC CXC-US15WP modules for the extended temperature range, MSC also has two modules with Intel Atom Z530P and Z510P for the standard temperature range in its product portfolio.
MSC positions these modules as cost-effective x86 COM Express entry-level products and therefore complementing its more powerful platforms such as the MSC CXB-A945M.
In addition to 18/24-bit LVDS with up to 1,366 x 768 pixels and SDVO with maximum 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, the range of interfaces of the MSC CXC-US15WP platform includes two PCI Express x1, a PCI and an LPC interface.
In addition, High-Definition Audio, eight USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet and an Enhanced IDE port are provided.
The MSC CXC-US15WP platform is said to offer flexible boot possibilities, for example, by an optional integrated flash disk or by a Micro SD card connected via an on-board Micro SDIO slot.
For evaluation and design-in of its COM Express platform, MSC offers evaluation baseboards with PC-type connectors.
The CPU modules run under the operating systems Windows XP (embedded) and Linux.
Special starter kits for Linux are available on request.
