conga-MA4 computer module

congatec extends its portfolio of credit card-sized computer modules by integrating the 14 nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors on COM Express Mini modules. The conga-MA4 module is said to offer an increase in performance over the previous modules, with heat dissipation lowered to an SDP (scenario design power) of 4 W. This enables compact, passively cooled system designs.

Windows 10 support makes the COM Express Mini modules suitable for system designs with state-of-the-art operating systems. The modules also make it easy to connect two 4k screens due to Intel Gen 8 graphics with up to 16 execution units.

The high level of computing and graphics performance is complemented by a full set of COM Express Type 10-compliant interfaces. This makes the modules suitable for graphics-intense, low-power applications requiring a small footprint, such as banking, vending and POS terminals. Additional uses could include medical imaging, compact diagnostic workstations, IoT-connected industrial controls and compact and robust box PCs and thin clients.

Users will benefit from the high level of standardisation and scalability of the COM Express modules combined with congatec’s documentation, industry-grade driver implementations and customary personal integration support. The company supports its products with long-term availability of at least seven years.
