Short Description XB1 COM Express Module

COM Express™ (also known as ETXexpress™) is an open PICMG® standard for Computer-On- Modules, comprising of latest technologies such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, Gigabit Ethernet and SDVO. While designing the carrier board only once, users profit from upgrading or scaling their application by simply changing the CPU module.

Alternatively equipped with the Intel series of (LV) Pentium® M and ULV Celeron® M

processors and up to 2GB RAM, the EKF XB1 is a versatile COM Express basic form factor module, designed especially for systems which require high performance at low power consumption. The chipset is based on PCI Express technology and has integrated a powerful dual screen graphics accelerator. The SDVO and VGA video interfaces allow for attachment of digital flat panel displays and analog monitors.

The XB1 is provided with a Gigabit Ethernet controller, and eight USB 2.0 ports for high speed communication. Four Serial ATA channels are available in addition to the legacy PATA I/F. The dual slot DIMM socket is suitable to address up to 2GB interleaved (symmetric) dual channel memory.

Typically, the XB1 will be combined with a custom specific carrier board. As a basic development tool, EKF can supply a third party evaluation carrier board. In addition, EKF offers their design services to create a turn-key ready customer solution.

The XB1 COM Express module is the perfect choice for embedded applications that require a low power standard processor at the centre of their design. OEMs can significantly improve their flexibility and reduce their total cost by adopting the open standards based architecture of COM Express.
