Chapter 3 Signals and Pinout Tables

The following section describes the signals found on COM Express™ Type II connectors used for Ampro modules.

The table below describes the terminology used in this section for the Signal Description tables. The PU/PD column indicates if a COM Express internal pull-up or pull-down resistor has been used. If the field entry area in this column for the signal is empty, then no pull-up or pull-down resistor has been implemented.

The “#” symbol at the end of the signal name indicates that the active or asserted state occurs when the signal is at a low voltage level. When “#” is not present, the signal is asserted when at a high voltage level.
