German embedded computer firm Congatec has announced a 70x70mm x86 computer based on Intel's E6xx Atom processor and EG20T controller hub.
Called Conga-QA6, the board is compliant to the Qseven standard and operates from -40 to 85°C.
Typical power consumption is claimed to be under 5W and provision for battery and ACPI 3.0 power management is included through Dialog Semiconductor's DA6011 clock and power controller.
IO is predominantly fast and serial.
The interface list includes: 6x USB 2.0, 2x SATA, 1x SDIO, 3x PCIe, LPC bus, I²C bus, Gigabit Ethernet, high definition audio, SPI and CAN.
"The CAN bus and SPI interfaces are new additions to the Qseven standard and utilise previously unused pins," said Congatec.
There is no support for EIDE or PCI.
As an option, up to 32Gbyte of on-board flash can be provided through the SATA interface.
"Cheaper memory, in the form of SD-Cards, can also be used with the SDIO interface," said the firm. "Additionally, faster MMC 4.0 cards with a data transfer rate of up to 52Mbyte/s can be implemented thanks to the 8bit data width."
WLAN, Bluetooth and RFID can be supported through the SDIO interface.
Processing speed options are 600MHz, 1.0GHz, 1.3GHz and 1.6GHz, and memory includes 512K L2 cache and up to 2Gbyte of on-board DDR2.
3D graphics are embedded in the processor, working with a frame buffer of up to 256Mbyte.
DirectX 9.0E and OpenGL 2.0 are supported, and MPEG2 plus MPEG4 decoders are included.
Flat panels are recognised automatically through VESA's DisplayID, and graphics output is either 1x24bit LVDS channel or an SDVO port.
