Kontron COM Express Reference Carrier-i Type 10

The COM Express reference carrier-i Type 10 for COM Express mini computer-on-modules with pin-out Type 10 is Kontron’s first reference and evaluation board validated for use in the extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C.

It can host all COM Express mini COMs with pin-out type 10, such as the rugged nanoETXexpress-TT, that also supports use at the industrial temperature range by-design.

In addition to COM Express Type 1 pin-out based designs, the reference carrier-i type10 features new digital video interfaces such as DisplayPort and DVI, CAN Bus and COM ports. Developers and OEMs will now have more I/O flexibility for developing scalable and ultra-compact applications on a 120 x 120 mm Nano-ITX footprint.

The carrier follows the path of the company's COM Express HMI carrierboard for pin-out type 1-based COM Express mini COMs. It accommodates dedicated interfaces for DisplayPort and DVI. For the first time, this allows the development of dual-display appliances with two digital displays in the industrial temperature environment.

The carrier is suitable for all COM Express Type 10-compliant mini COMs and carries all the interfaces defined for the COM Express pin-out Type 10.
