Introduction

The ETXexpress®-PC module unifies the latest 45 nm generations of Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors with the new SSE4 instruction set and the latest chipset Intel® GS45. This combination really sets new standards in many terms: more performance than ever on COM Express™ form factor, outstanding performance to -power ratio, fast DDR3 SO-DIMM memory up to 8 GB and L2 cache up to 6 MB, the module really opens up new application fields.

ETXexpress®-PC is assembled with Intel® small form factor package: for instance, the ICH9M was shrunk from 961 mm² to 256 mm². Thus, valuable space for further features is gained: among others two stacked SO-DIMM sockets for dual channel memory. On top of that, Intel® small form factor package processors allow operations in ultra low voltage for best energy efficiency.

Especially, its 4 SerialATA ports and the native RAID support establishes the ETXexpress®-PC perfectly for heavy data sensitive applications. On top of all that, DirectX® 10 supports Windows Vista® perfectly. Like all Kontron ETXexpress® modules, it is strictly compliant to the COM Express™ standard. Therefore, upgrading existing carrier boards gets so easy and minimizes redesign efforts.

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.

Kontron have two different heatspreaders for this ETXexpress module. One with threaded post and one with through hole posts. Kontron also have eight heatspreader/heatsink assemblies. Drawings of all assemblies are available on request.
