Introduction

The Kontron microETXexpress-SP computer-on-module is based on the Intel® Atom™ processor and is designed to extend the PICMG controlled COM Express™ specification to include a small module format (95 x 95 mm) with the commonly used COM Express Type 2 connector.

The Kontron microETXexpress-SP offers PCI as well as more sophisticated graphics support with SDVO. Via the PEG pinout, SDVO delivers additional video signals for VGA and DVI monitor outputs, SDTV and HDTV television outputs and TV tuner inputs that greatly simplify system graphics design. This special feature makes this 95 x 95 mm computer-on-module ideal for small mobile and extremely energy-efficient multimedia devices as well as for mobile test and measurement applications.

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 ETX 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 module. One with threaded post and one with through hole posts. Kontron also have a heatspreader/heatsink assembly with threaded stand offs. Drawings of all assemblies are available on request.
