congatec COM Express Computer-on-Modules

congatec has launched the COM Express Compact Computer-on-Modules with AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 Series processors. The modules are based on the computing cores of the Ryzen processors featuring up to eight ‘Zen 4’ cores, innovative XDNA NPU and Radeon RDNA 3 graphics.

This makes the conga-TCR8 Type 6 modules suitable for high-volume applications requiring a combination of advanced AI, graphics and computing power. OEMs in medical imaging, test & measurement, AI-supported POS/POI systems and professional gaming can also leverage these long-term available COM Express Compact modules to accelerate innovation. With a broad, scalable TDP range of 15–54 W, these modules are also suitable for upgrading existing designs.

The conga-TCR8 computer-on-modules support up to 128 GB DDR5-5600 memory with error correction code (ECC) for data-intensive and data-critical applications. With the integrated AMD XDNA NPU (16 TOPS) and AMD Radeon RDNA 3 graphics, the modules deliver a combined computing power of up to 39 TOPS. They also support immersive graphics output on up to four displays with resolutions as high as 8K. For fast peripheral connectivity, they offer six PCIe Gen 4 (8 lanes) with PEG x8 Gen 4, three DisplayPort (DP) interfaces, one eDP or LVDS, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and four USB 2.0 ports.

The modules are also available as application-ready aReady.COMs, with custom pre-installed and validated operating systems like ctrlX OS, Ubuntu and/or RT Linux, optional system consolidation via aReady.VT, and IoT connectivity via aReady.IOT. On request, the modules can be pre-installed with the customer’s application, allowing for simple plug-and-play integration into the finished system.
