Skylake Core M Computing Module

CM22301 is a PICMG COM Express® specification compatible computing module, based on Intel® Skylake Core M series CPU with ultra-low power consumption and super small size (credit-card-size).

CM22301 uses Intel® sixth-generation Skylake platform and Core M low-power SoC processors, and integrates the full functions of CPU, GPU and South/North Bridge on a single chip. The processor provides powerful computing and display performance with dual-core and four threads configuration. Its turbo frequency can boost up to 3.1GHz and the display output resolution can be up to 4K.

CM22301 has an amazing thermal design power consumption of only 4.5W (TDP) and can be used for a variety of high-performance fan-less designs. CM22301 supports up to 16GB dual-channel low-voltage DDR3L memory populated onboard, and up to 64 GB on-board solid state disk silicon, as benefit the development of ruggedized products for harsh environment applications.

As defined by COM Express® specification, CM22301 provides up to 6 PCIe lanes, enabling flexible functionality expansions, such as NICs, DAQs, video capture and so on. Meanwhile, CM22301 also provides up to date computer interfaces like GbE, SATA3, USB3.0/2.0, HD Audio, etc.

High performance, low power consumption, extended-temperature operation, rich interfaces and flexible expansions enable CM22301 to be widely used in the embedded field.

CM22301 integrates next-generation Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Intel® HD Graphics 515 and GT2 series graphics display core with 24 EU. And the display memory can reach up to 1.7GB shared with system memory, and the maximum dynamic frequency of the GPU can be up to 1GHz. Its display interface supports eDP/DP/HDMI/DVI and the output resolution is up to 4K. The integrated GPU also supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 2.1. Besides, a wide range of media processing capabilities are implemented by hardware acceleration, including both Encode and Decode of AVC/VC1/MPEG2/H.264/H.265/VP8/JPEG.

CM22301 defines extra considerations to improve the cooling efficiency by using the entire PCB. In addition, CM22301 provides an effective guarantee for the anti-shock and anti-vibration design of various equipment and devices used in harsh environments.

Target applications:
>> Hand-held and portable devices
>> Wireless data transmission
>> Vehicle-mounted and onboard navigation devices
>> Video monitoring equipment

6U CPCI Express Computing Board

CP62201 is a 6U compactPCI Express board based on Intel 4th generation core i7/i5 processors, up to 4 cores/8 threads, with base frequency at 2.4GHz, and turbo frequency up to 3.4GHz. CP62201 supports up to 16GB onboard soldered low voltage DRAM with ECC, dual channel, up to 1600MHz. CP62201 supports up to 6 SATA storage ports, one of which connects up to 128GB onboard Flash storage. The populated memory and SSD enhance the anti-shock and vibration performance.

CP62201 integrates Intel® HD Graphics 4600 controller, supporting a variety of display outputs, such as eDP, DP, HDMI, DVI and VGA. The output resolution of VGA is up to 2048×1536, while it can be up to “4K” with HDMI, DP or eDP outputs. CP62201 supports one VGA and two DVI, up to three independent or cloned displays.

CP62201 uses high speed ZD connectors for transferring PCIe3.0 USB3.0 and SATAIII and other high speed interfaces.

In addition, LinkedHope® provides various software driver (BSP) support for CP62201, including VxWorks, Linux, windows, as reduces the workload of the system integration and system solution development, and greatly shorten the Time-to-Market.

CP62201 is designed with full life cycle management, and can be long-term available or even be supplied after its end of life for the specific vertical market that require long-term availability and long-term maintenance services.

Target applications:
Rail transportation, ship electronics, aerospace & avionics, data processing and embedded computing

VT951

The VT951 is a rugged 1U chassis used in Mil/Aero or other applications that need to withstand shock/vibration. The lightweight aluminum construction provides 6 single module mid-size AMC slots. For front panel retention, there is a single MicroTCA.1 screw on the opposite side of the ejector handle on each module slot. The chassis offers dual redundant PSUs, hot-swappable from the rear of the chassis.

The front-to-rear cooled chassis utilizes the VadaTech 3rd generation MCH (UTC004 product) for its shelf manager, crossbar clocking for low jitter, GPS/IEEE1588/SyncE/NTP, etc. The VT951 has PCIe Gen3 dual x4 or single x8 routed to each AMC slot.

The VT951 backplane provides direct connection between adjacent AMC slots on ports 2-3 and on ports 12-20.
