Introduction

Built around the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor (4MB L2, 800FSB) and Intel® GM965 chipset, the Kontron ETXexpress®-MC - a COM Express™ solution - is the most robust and power-efficient computer-on-module currently available. The Kontron ETXexpress®-MC offers support for GEN4 graphics to meet the requirements of embedded applications that require advanced video capabilities.

The Kontron ETXexpress®-MC is one of the first COM Express™ pin-out type 2 compliant modules supporting dual-channel memory up to 4GB via two DDR2 SO-DIMM sockets positioned on the top side of the module. This module has 5x PCI Express x1 lanes, 3x SerialATA ports, and 8x USB 2.0 ports along with Gigabit Ethernet to round out the list of standard features.

The inclusion of onboard TPM 1.2 ensures that the Kontron ETXexpress®-MC is a perfect fit for power and thermal sensitive designs which also require security features.

This next Generation COM takes you .... always a Jump ahead!

Heatspreader Concept

ETX heatspreaderThe heat-spreader is a 2mm thick aluminium plate. It provides a thermal interface surface for heat removal from the ETXexpress module. The heat-spreader is thermally coupled to the CPU die or package surface, and it may also be coupled to other heat generating devices on the module (e.g. chipset, vga chip). The heat spreader is not intended as a heat sink, although it may be suitable for this purpose on low power modules operating under benign conditions. Higher power modules or higher temperature conditions will probably require heat removal devices (e.g. heat sink with fan, heat pipe, larger heatsink etc.) to be attached to the heatspreader, or it may need to be thermally coupled to a chassis.
