congatec has announced the expansion of its Qseven product line. According to the embedded computing modules specialist, the conga-QAF Qseven module, which is based on the AMD Embedded G-Series, is the first module to combine high graphics performance, dual core processing power and low power consumption in such a small form factor. It is designed for cost sensitive, low power control and visualisation applications.
The conga-QAF is available in two processor variants: AMD G-Series G-T40E 1GHz dual core (6.4W); and AMD G-Series G-T40R 1GHz single core (5.5W) with up to 4GB of low power onboard ddr3 memory. The integrated graphics core with the Universal Video Decoder 3.0 supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.0 for fast 2d and 3d image display and OpenGL 1.1. LVDS. DisplayPort and HDMI graphics interfaces are provided.
The AMD G-Series graphics unit can also be used for compute intensive parallelisable operations that are normally executed by the processor. OpenCL support is offered. The module measures 70 x 70mm and uses the AMD Hudson E1 Fusion controller hub in combination with the G-Series processor. congatec says it provides a 'powerful and compact two chip solution with a complete feature set'. Differential interfaces such as PCI Express and SATA are available.
The module is suitable for control of mobile applications in automation, medical technology, digital signage, POI/POS and transportation.
