1.1 Pico-ITX Concept

The Pico-ITX form factor provides system designers and manufacturers with a standardized ultra compact platform for development. With a footprint of 100mm x 72mm, this scalable platform promotes the design of highly integrated, energy efﬁcient systems. Due to its small size, the Pico-ITX form factor enables PC appliance designers not only to design attractive low cost devices but also allows them to explore a huge variety of product development options - from compact space-saving designs to fully functional Information Station and Value PC systems. This helps to reduce product design cycle and encourages rapid innovation in system design, to meet the ever-changing needs of the market.

Additionally, the boards can be passively cooled, presenting opportunities for fanless designs. The Pico-ITX boards are equipped with various interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Displays and Audio.

1.2 conga-PA5

The conga-PA5 is a Single Board Computer design based on the Pico-ITX speciﬁcation. The conga-PA5 SBC features the Intel 5th generation Atom, Celeron and Pentium processors. With maximum 12 W TDP processors, the SBC offers Ultra Low Power boards with high computing performance and outstanding graphics. Additionally, the SBC supports onboard LPDDR4 memory up to 2400 MT/s, maximum system memory capacity of 8 GB, multiple I/O interfaces, up to three independent displays and various congatec embedded features.

With smaller board size and lower height keep-out zones, the conga-PA5 SBC provides manufacturers and system designers with the opportunity to design compact systems for space restricted areas.

The various features and capabilities offered by the conga-PA5 makes it ideal for the design of compact, energy efﬁcient, performanceoriented embedded systems.

• Passive cooling solutions (CSP)

• Heatspreader (HSP)

The dimensions of the cooling solutions are shown below. All measurements are in millimeters. The recommended torque for heatspreader screws is 0.3 Nm. Mechanical system assembly mounting shall follow the valid DIN/ISO speciﬁcations.

The heatspreader acts as a thermal coupling device to the module and is thermally coupled to the CPU via a thermal gap ﬁller. On some modules, it may also be thermally coupled to other heat generating components with the use of additional thermal gap ﬁllers.

Although the heatspreader is the thermal interface where most of the heat generated by the module is dissipated, it is not to be considered as a heatsink. It has been designed as a thermal interface between the module and the application speciﬁc thermal solution. The application speciﬁc thermal solution may use heatsinks with fans, and/or heat pipes, which can be attached to the heatspreader. Some thermal solutions may also require that the heatspreader is attached directly to the systems chassis thereby using the whole chassis as a heat dissipater.

Note

The gap pad material used on all heatspreaders contains silicon oil that can seep out over time depending on the environmental conditions it is subjected to. For more information about this subject, contact your local congatec sales representative and request the gap pad material manufacturer’s speciﬁcation.

Caution

The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating temperature of the board is maintained at all times. This may require additional cooling components for your ﬁnal application’s thermal solution.

For adequate heat dissipation, use the mounting holes on the cooling solution to attach it to the board. Apply thread-locking ﬂuid on the screws if the cooling solution is used in a high shock and/or vibration environment. To prevent the standoff from stripping or cross-threading, use non-threaded carrier board standoffs to mount threaded cooling solutions.

For applications that require vertically-mounted cooling solution, use only coolers that secure the thermal stacks with ﬁxing post. Without the ﬁxing post feature, the thermal stacks may move. Also, do not exceed the maximum torque speciﬁed for the screws. Doing so may damage the board.

6.3.2 OEM Boot Logo

This feature allows system designers to replace the standard text output displayed during POST with their own BIOS boot logo. Customized BIOS development by congatec for OEM Boot Logo is no longer necessary because customers can easily perform this conﬁguration by themselves using the congatec system utility CGUTIL. See congatec application note AN8_Create_And_Add_Bootlogo.pdf on the congatec website for details on how to add OEM boot logo to the congatec Embedded BIOS.

6.3.3 OEM POST Logo

This feature allows system designers to replace the congatec POST logo displayed in the upper left corner of the screen during BIOS POST with their own BIOS POST logo. Use the congatec system utility CGUTIL 1.5.4 or later to replace/add the OEM POST logo.

6.3.4 OEM BIOS Code/Data

With the congatec embedded BIOS, it is possible for system designers to add their own code to the BIOS POST process. The congatec Embedded BIOS ﬁrst calls the OEM code before handing over control to the OS loader.

Except for custom speciﬁc code, this feature can also be used to support Win XP SLP installation, Window 7 SLIC table (OA2.0), Windows 8 OEM activation (OA3.0), verb tables for HDA codecs, PCI/PCIe opROMs, bootloaders, rare graphic modes and Super I/O controller initialization.

Note

The OEM BIOS code of the new UEFI based ﬁrmware is only called when the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled in the BIOS setup menu. Contact congatec technical support for more information on how to add OEM code.

6.3.5 OEM DXE Driver

This feature allows designers to add their own UEFI DXE driver to the congatec embedded BIOS. Contact congatec technical support for more information on how to add an OEM DXE driver.

6.4 congatec Battery Management Interface

In order to facilitate the development of battery powered mobile systems based on embedded modules, congatec AG has deﬁned an interface for the exchange of data between a CPU module (using an ACPI operating system) and a Smart Battery system. A system developed according to the congatec Battery Management Interface Speciﬁcation can provide the battery management functions supported by an ACPI capable

Page 42

operating system (e.g. charge state of the battery, information about the battery, alarms/events for certain battery states, ...) without the need for any additional modiﬁcations to the system BIOS.

In addtion to the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery mentioned above, the latest versions of the conga-PA5 BIOS and board controller ﬁrmware also support LTC1760 battery manager from Linear Technology and a battery only solution (no charger). All three battery solutions are supported on the I2C bus and the SMBus. This gives the system designer more ﬂexibility when choosing the appropriate battery sub-system.

For more information about this subject visit the congatec website and view the following documents:

• congatec Battery Management Interface Speciﬁcation

• Battery System Design Guide

• conga-SBM3 User’s Guide

6.5 API Support (CGOS)

In order to beneﬁt from the above mentioned non-industry standard feature set, congatec provides an API that allows application software developers to easily integrate all these features into their code. The CGOS API (congatec Operating System Application Programming Interface) is the congatec proprietary API that is available for all commonly used Operating Systems such as Win32, Win64, Win CE, Linux. The architecture of the CGOS API driver provides the ability to write application software that runs unmodiﬁed on all congatec CPU modules. All the hardware related code is contained within the congatec embedded BIOS on the module. See section 1.1 of the CGOS API software developers guide, which is available on the congatec website.

6.6 GPIOs

The conga-PA5 SBC provides four GPIs and four GPOs via the congatec board controller. The GPI/GPO signals are routed to the feature connector X20.

6.7 Thermal/Voltage Monitoring

The CPU onboard the conga-PA5 monitors the system temperature while the congatec Board Controller monitors the +12V input voltage and input current.

6.8 External System Wake Event

The conga-PA5 supports LAN, power/sleep/LID buttons and PCIe driven wake up events.

Page 43

6.9 Security Features

The conga-PA5 can be equipped optionally with a “Trusted Platform Module“ (TPM 1.2/2.0). This TPM 1.2/2.0 includes coprocessors to calculate efﬁcient hash and RSA algorithms with key lengths up to 2.048 bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and e-commerce will beneﬁt also with improved authentication, integrity and conﬁdence levels.
