3.4 Electrical Specification
Supply Voltage
8,5V – 18V
Power Supply Rise time
» The input voltages shall rise from ≤10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges within 0.1ms to 20ms.
» There must be a smooth and continuous ramp of each DC input voltage from 10% to 90% of its final set-point
following the ATX specification
Supply Voltage Ripple
» Maximum 100 mV peak to peak 0-20MHz
Maximum Current
The maximum current on the COMe Ref. Carrier T6 inclusive the module and all other connector consumers must not
exceed 16A. That leads to a maximum power of 136W at 8.5V input voltage and 288W at 18V input voltage.
3.5 Environmental Specification
Ambient temperature
» Operating: 0°C to +60 °C
» Non-operating: -20 to +75 °C
Humidity
» Operating: 10% to 90% (non condensing)
» Non operating: 5% to 95% (non condensing)
3.6 MTBF
The following MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) values were calculated using a combination of manufacturer‟s test
data, if the data was available, and a Bellcore calculation for the remaining parts. The Bellcore calculation used is
“Method 1 Case 1”. In that particular method the components are assumed to be operating at a 50 % stress level in a
40° C ambient environment and the system is assumed to have not been burned in. Manufacturer‟s data has been
used wherever possible. The manufacturer‟s data, when used, is specified at 50° C, so in that sense the following
results are slightly conservative. The MTBF values shown below are for a 40° C in an office or telecommunications
Page 11

environment. Higher temperatures and other environmental stresses (extreme altitude, vibration, salt water
exposure, etc.) lower MTBF values.
» System MTBF: tbd hours

4 Connector Layout
4.1 Rear Panel
The rear panel layout is based on an Intel miniITX mainboard, DH67CF. Therefore the I/O shield for DH67CF can be
used for the COMe Ref. Carrier T6.
The I/O shield can be directly ordered from Intel‟s spare parts store.

5.1 Power Supply
5.1.1 ATX Connector and Behavior Control
The COM Express® Reference Carrier Type 6 power supply follows the ATX 2.x specification and the baseboard should
be supplied by connecting an ATX PSU with 20pin ATX (J58) and 8pin ATX_12V (J59) supply cable in correct
orientation. The 8pin ATX_12V connector mainly supplies power to the module and allows powering the module
directly in specified wide range power input. The module additionally is supplied with 5V standby voltage. Single
supply mode is controlled by J85, and then the 20pin ATX connector J58 is not necessary to connect.
J26 overrides the PS_ON# signal in ATX powered mode.

5.7 High Definition Audio
The COM Express® Reference carrier Type 6 provides HDAudio via Realtek ALC886 High Definition Audio Codec
supporting analog, optical and digital audio connections.
The onboard buzzer SPK1 can be disabled by opening jumper J63 (default closed). Optical S/PDIF for Toslink
connection is available on the grey connector of the rear panel audio connector J51.
Audio Connector J51 – Speaker Configuration
The Audio Connector J51 on COM Express® Reference Carrier Type 6 is a full featured analog audio jack for speaker
configuration up to 6-channel and it allows an optical TOSLINK™ connection via optical cables.
J72 can be used for electrical S/PDIF signal.
Note1: In addition to the default speaker settings, the analog audio Jacks can be reconfigured to perform different
functions via the Realtek HDAudio Driver Software which is available on Kontron website. Only microphones
still must be connected to the default pink jack.

On COMe Reference Carrier Type 6 all three DDI interfaces are available:
J117 additionally offers VGA signals via the analog pins on the DVI-I connector. To use this on standard analog
monitors an adapter form DVI-I to VGA is necessary which is available through usual computer equipment suppliers.
The VGA DDC lines are not connected, so automatic monitor detection on VGA is not possible.

5.16 SMART Battery
5.16.1 Introduction
The Core of the SBS is the dual Smart Battery System Manager LTC1760. On COMe Reference Carrier Type 6 both battery
connections are provided.
Smart Battery Systems have the ability to communicate with the application. Therefore the user gets information
about the current state of the battery. The interface for this communication is the System Management Bus (SMBus).
Standard Smart Batteries have a specified 5 pin header, connecting to the power lines and additionally this SMBus.
This standardization allows using all available kinds of standard Smart Batteries, which also applies to the COMe
Reference Carrier Type 6.
A typical SBS consists of a Smart Battery System Manager and a charger, which can communicate with the chipset
using the SMBus. If there is no software to control the SBS via SM-bus then the system is able to run in a stand alone
mode with reduced functionality, too.
The SBS was designed for the requirements of the COMe Reference Carrier Type 6. Additionally different kinds of Smart
Batteries can be used. That means different battery chemistry and cell configurations. But it must be ensured to use
standard Smart Batteries, which meet the SM-Bus standard.
Note: Please ensure that the input voltage of the COMe Reference Carrier Type 6 is higher than the charging voltage
of the connected SMART battery. Otherwise the battery can not be charged.
5.16.2 Possible Smart Batteries
The voltage of batteries must be within the voltage range of the carrier board. Therefore the best choice is a 3 cell
series Li-Ion or LiPo battery with 10.8V. Also 4 cell series batteries can be used, but then the input voltage of the
carrier board must exceed the charging voltage of the battery.

5.16.3 Smart Battery System Manager
The LTC1760 SBS Manager is a highly integrated level 3 battery charger and selector intended for products using dual
smart batteries. Three SMBus interfaces allow the LTC1760 to serve to the internal voltage and currents measured by
the batteries while allowing a SMBus Host to monitor either battery‟s status. Charging accuracy is determined by the
battery‟s internal voltage and current measurement, typically better then ±0,2%.

KAB-SMART-BAT
The LTC1760 automatically switches between power sources in less than 10μs to prevent power interruption upon
battery or wall adapter removal. It implements all elements of a version 1.1 “Smart Battery System Manager” except
for the generation of composite battery information. An internal multiplexer cleanly switches the SMBus Host to the
attached Smart Battery without generating partial messages to the battery or SMBus host. The Thermistor on the
battery is automatically monitored for temperature and disconnection information (SafetySignal).
Hardware programmable limits for maximum charge current and voltage improve the safety of the complete system.
For more information see datasheet of LTC1760.

8 Security Advice
To protect the external power lines to peripheral devices the customer has to take care about:
- The wires to the external device have the right diameter to withstand the max. available current
- The housing of the external device fulfils the fire protection requirements of IEC/EN 60950.
