AM4022 Introduction

1. Introduction

1.1 Board Overview

The AM4022 is a highly integrated CPU board implemented as a Single Mid-size or Full-size
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) Module. The design is based on 3rd generation Intel®
Core™ i7 processors combined with the mobile Intel® QM77 Express Chipset.

The board supports the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3612QE quad-core and the 3rd
generation Intel® Core™ i7-3555LE dual-core processors in 22 nm technology. The 2.1 GHz
Intel® Core™ i7-3612QE has a 4x 64 kB L1 cache, 4x 256 KB L2 cache and 6 MB L3 cache.
The 2.5 GHz Intel® Core™ i7-3555LE has a 2x 64 kB L1 cache, 2x 256 KB L2 cache and 4 MB
L3 cache. Both the processor and the memory are soldered resulting in a higher MTBF and a
significant improvement in cooling.

The AM4022 includes up to 8 GB, dual-channel Double Data Rate (DDR3) memory with Error
Checking and Correcting (ECC) running at 1600 MHz. The graphics controller and the memory
controller are integrated in the processor.

One Quad Gigabit Ethernet Controller directly connected to the processor ensures maximum
data throughput. The AM4022 further provides up to 64 GB Flash memory via an optional on­board Serial ATA Flash module.

The AM4022 is available with two front panel versions, one with a DisplayPort and one with a
COM port. Further interfaces include one USB 2.0 host interface and two Gigabit Ethernet ports
to the front as well as a variety of high-speed interconnect topologies to the system, such as
Dual Gigabit SerDes connection and Dual Serial ATA storage interface in the Common Options
Region, two x4 or one x8 PCI Express interfaces in the Fat Pipes Region, one Serial ATA stor­age interface, a DisplayPort (on request), one USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports (all on
request) in the Extended Options Region, and a Debug port in the Extended Options Region.
The AM4022 can provide an FCLKA PCI Express clock to the host system. The AM4022 does
not, however, synchronize on an external clock input.

The AM4022 provides safety and security features via an on request Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) 1.2.

The AM4022 has full hot swap capability. A dedicated Module Management Controller (MMC) is
used to manage the board and support a defined subset of Intelligent Platform Management Inter­face (IPMI) commands and PICMG (ATCA/AMC) command extensions, which enables operators
to detect and eliminate faults faster at module level. This includes monitoring several onboard tem­perature conditions, board voltages and the power supply status, managing hot swap operations,
rebooting the board, etc. All in all, IPMI enhances the board’s availability and reliability while reduc­ing the operating costs and the mean-time-to-repair.

Optimized for high-performance, packet-based telecom systems, the AM4022 is targeted to­wards, but not limited to the telecom market application such as radio network controllers, me­dia streaming, traffic processing, database management and routing. The AM4022 also fits into
all applications situated in industrial environments, including I/O intensive applications. The
careful design and the selection of high temperature resistant components ensure a high prod­uct availability. This, together with a high level of scalability, reliability, and stability, make this
state-of-the-art product a perfect core technology for long-life embedded applications.

Note ...

Kontron performs comprehensive environmental testing of its products in accor­dance with applicable standards.

Customers desiring to perform further environmental testing of Kontron prod­ucts must contact Kontron for assistance prior to performing any such testing.
This is necessary, as it is possible that environmental testing can be destructive
when not performed in accordance with the applicable specifications.

In particular, for example, boards without conformal coating must not be
exposed to a change of temperature exceeding 1K/minute, averaged over a
period of not more than five minutes. Otherwise, condensation may cause irre­versible damage, especially when the board is powered up again.

Kontron does not accept any responsibility for damage to products resulting
from destructive environmental testing.
