congatec launches Fifth Generation Core processor based boards
Embedded computing specialist congatec has added 5th generation Intel Core processor based platforms to its portfolio. The company says the processors – being manufactured on a 14nm process – bring better graphics and performance, with power consumption as low as 15W.
The conga-TC97 is a COM Express compact Type 6 module with eight USB ports, two of which support USB 3.0. There are also four PCI Express 2.0 lanes, four SATA ports running at up to 6Gbit/s, RAID support and a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
The conga-IC97 is a Thin Mini-ITX board with four USB 3.0 ports available on the I/O shield. Two 5Gbit/s PCI Express 2.0 lanes can be used as mPCIe Half Size and PCIe Full Size shared with PCIe x1 and mSATA, whilst fast and flexible system extensions are possible using four SATA interfaces.
Both boards support up to three independent display interfaces via HDMI 1.4, LVDS and embedded DisplayPort. Intel's HD Graphics 5500 and 6000 chipsets are said to deliver 'stunning and responsive' visuals, including Ultra HD 4K display and additional codec support.
